  Polymer-Based Chemistry of Carbohydrate-Derived Fulvic Acid and Its Comparative Effect with Chelating Agents on Root Dentin Microhardness

  By Roshan M. Samuel, Rushikesh Mahaparale, Priyanka Zinge

  Abstract: The interaction between the polymer science and the endodontic biomaterials field has increased recently while considering the search for chelating agents. CHD-FA (Carbohydrate-Derived Fulvic Acid), a naturally occurring low-molecular-weight polymeric organic acid, has potential chelating and antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. This investigation examines the polymeric chemistry of CHD-FA and compares the effect of CHD-FA with other chelating agents, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), and citric acid, on root dentin microhardness. A total …
