Abstract
The major purpose of the dental pumice is to clean and make tooth surfaces smooth, it is a highly siliceous material derived primarily from volcanic activity. In a quest to make pumice readily available, an alternative material to pumice was developed. 100 µm particle sizes of both powdered eggshell and glass were mixed, in ratios of 1.5:8.5, 2:8, 1:9, and 0:10 to obtain J85, J90, J95, and J100 respectively. A scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) was used for morphological characterization and elemental composition. The research questionnaire was structured for dental practitioners for quality assessment purpose. The results showed that J100 had more porosity, with a smaller pore diameter than J95, J90, and J85 respectively. EDS revealed the presence of 16 elements in the fabricated pumice. J85, J90, J95, and J100 of particle sizes 100, 80, and 50 µm were set at different magnifications (500×, 1000×, and 1500×) respectively. This revealed that the fabricated polishing materials (FPMs) have porous structures, thus making them good for polishing and cleaning tooth surfaces.
