What's the difference between diopside and pyroxene?
Diopside
Definition:
(n.) A crystallized variety of pyroxene, of a clear, grayish green color; mussite.
Example Sentences:
(1) From above mentioned study results, we can say that diopside is mechanically strong, and because of new bone created along the block surface at an early stage, it is stabilized in the bone soon after the implantation and is the most suitable as a material of dental implant in all the blocks used in this study case.
(2) Diopside in pseudo-body fluid developed hydroxyapatite on surface like bioglass, and this resulted in high possibility of direct bond with bone.
(3) Simple diopside and hydroxyapatite with diopside have enough dynamic intensity of both the implant in point of bending intensity and the breaking toughness.
(4) Diopside was resolved only in the inner surface, but it was limited only in the Si-rich area.
(5) In two weeks after operation, direct bone was created and attached to diopside with HAP and HAP.diopside, this kind of bone formation was seen in the part of it, and in the rest of the part, the fiber was created.
(6) The results of this study indicate that the diopside and hydroxyapatite with diopside have enough dynamic intensity and are bioactive dental implant materials.
(7) By 4 weeks after the operation, diopside block was surrounded and stabilized by the completed new bone.
(8) In comparison, neither cracking on parting was seen with diopside and HAP.diopside.
(9) Crystal lattice created by HAP crystal which appeared in the diopside block, and apatite crystal in the new bone is continuous and arranged in one direction.
(10) Simple diopside and hydroxyapatite with diopside go well as biomechanics because of their Young's modulus being close to the surrounding bone.
(11) The following results were obtained from the experiment on the five different blocks (HAP, HAP.diopside, diopside, HAP.anorthite and anorthite) which were created as a material of dental implant for in rabbit mandible.
(12) The objective of this study was to evaluate the dental cutting behaviour of two machinable glass-ceramics, mica-containing Macor-M and apatite- and diopside-containing Bioram-M, and to compare them with the cutting behaviour of a composite resin typodont tooth enamel and bovine enamel.
(13) This GC contains crystalline apatite, wollastonite and diopside in a CaO-P2O5-MgO-SiO2-CaF2 glassy matrix.
Pyroxene
Definition:
(n.) A common mineral occurring in monoclinic crystals, with a prismatic angle of nearly 90ยก, and also in massive forms which are often laminated. It varies in color from white to dark green and black, and includes many varieties differing in color and composition, as diopside, malacolite, salite, coccolite, augite, etc. They are all silicates of lime and magnesia with sometimes alumina and iron. Pyroxene is an essential constituent of many rocks, especially basic igneous rocks, as basalt, gabbro, etc.
Example Sentences:
(1) A laboratory study of the interaction of H2O frost with samples of the minerals olivine (Mg,Fe)2SiO4 and pyroxene (Mg,Fe)SiO3 at -11 degrees C to -22 degrees C revealed that an acidic oxidant was produced.
