Eco-friendly reinforcement of dental composites with poly(methyl methacrylate) and hydroxyapatite synthesized from eggshell waste
Clinically, the optimized composite (10 wt% HAp) offers enhanced strength, durability, and thermal stability while maintaining biocompatibility, making it promising for dental prostheses, denture bases, and repair resins. This eco-friendly approach valorizes eggshell waste into a functional bioactive filler, supporting the advancement of sustainable dentistry.
