Divalent cations have captured the interest of researchers in biomedical and dental fields due to their beneficial effects on bone formation. These metallic elements are similar to trace elements found in human bone. Strontium is a divalent cation commonly found in various biomaterials. Since strontium has a radius similar to calcium, it has been used to replace calcium in many calcium-containing biomaterials. Strontium has the ability to inhibit bone resorption and increase bone deposition, making it useful in the treatment of osteoporosis. Strontium has also been used as a radiopacifier in dentistry and has been incorporated into a variety of dental materials to improve their radiopacity. Furthermore, strontium has been shown to improve the antimicrobial and mechanical properties of dental materials, promote enamel remineralization, alleviate dentin hypersensitivity, and enhance dentin regeneration. The objective of this review is to provide a comprehensive review of the applications of strontium in dentistry.
由于二价阳离子对骨形成具有有益作用，它们已引起生物医学和牙科领域研究人员的关注。这些金属元素与人类骨骼中发现的微量元素相似。锶是一种常见于各种生物材料中的二价阳离子。由于锶的半径与钙相似，它已被用于替代许多含钙生物材料中的钙。锶具有抑制骨吸收和增加骨沉积的能力，使其可用于治疗骨质疏松症。锶还被用作牙科中的射线阻射剂，并已被纳入各种牙科材料中以提高其射线不透性。此外，锶已被证明可改善牙科材料的抗菌和机械性能，促进牙釉质再矿化，减轻牙本质过敏，并增强牙本质再生。本综述的目的是对锶在牙科中的应用进行全面综述。
