Experimental Solution of Chitosan and Nanochitosan on Wettability in Root Dentine: In Vitro Model Prior Regenerative Endodontics by Fernando Arias Alvarado, Maira Rivero Iriarte, Freddy Jordan Mariño, Sara Quijano-Guauque, León D. Pérez, Yolima Baena, Claudia García-Guerrero

“…The wettability analysis calculated the contact angle (θ) between a drop of a blood-like and root dentinal surface; topographic characterization with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) quantified the diameter and number of tubules per area; spectroscopy infrared analyses (IR-S) identified chemical changes in the inorganic (phosphate/carbonate) and organic phase (amide/methyl). Statistical analysis: a linear mixed model, Kruskal–Wallis, and Holm–Bonferroni correction (P < 0.05) were used. …”
