Abstract:
The constant composition (CC) method has been used to study the dissolution kinetics of whole powdered human dentin as a function of calcium phosphate concentration at relative undersaturations with respect to hydroxyapatite (sigma HAP), ranging from +0.8 to -2.8, ionic strength from 0.05 to 0.30 mol/L-1 in sodium chloride or potassium nitrate, pH 4.00 to 5.50, and molar calcium/phosphate ratio in the reaction solutions from 0.05 to 11.1. The results suggest that human dentin behaves as a mixture of at least two calcium phosphate phases, HAP-like and octacalcium phosphate-like, OCP-like. Significant dissolution took place in solutions that were even supersaturated with respect to HAP, and the rates exhibited a striking insensitivity to relative undersaturation, while influenced by ionic strength, pH, and molar calcium/phosphate ratio in the reaction solutions. Although the dissolution was retarded in the presence of magnesium ion, the reaction rate showed the same insensitivity to undersaturation with respect to calcium phosphate.

This process starts with a thin layer, saturated with the drug, forming at the interface between the solid and liquid. The solute then diffuses from this layer into the main solution. The Noyes-Whitney equation suggests that the rate of dissolution relies on the diffusion...
