Abstract

Apatite cement is a bone and tooth replacement material that is biocompatible, osteoconductive, and resorbable. This material continues to be developed for a wide range of clinical needs, one of which is the addition of BSF chitosan powder. Chitosan has good biocompatibility, biodegradable, mucoadhesion, chitosan is not toxic, does not cause cancer, immunological reactions so it is often used for biomedical applications in dentistry as an antibacterial agent for wound healing and bone regeneration, and is also used to improve the properties of other dental materials. The purpose of this study was to determine the difference in setting time of a mixture of chitosan powder and apatite cement. This research is a type of pure laboratory research with a total of 27 samples divided into 3 groups, namely with 0% BSF chitosan powder, 5% BSF chitosan powder, and 10% BSF chitosan powder. Data were analyzed by Shapiro-wilk test and post hoc test. The results of this study show that there is a difference in setting time between apatite cement without the addition of chitosan powder and apatite cement with the addition of chitosan, namely the addition of chitosan powder accelerates the setting time.
