This study aimed to describe a case report of endodontic treatment of a maxillary first molar with two roots and two palatal canals type I. The patient was referred to the Federal University of Pernambuco for endodontic treatment in left maxillary first permanent molar. After the clinical, physical and radiographic examination, the diagnosis was irreversible pulpitis. Radiographic examination s...

INTRODUCTION This in vitro study aims to evaluate the coronal and apical sealing ability of gutta-percha (GP) root filling used with either mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), new endodontic cement (NEC) or AH26 as filler/sealers. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty eight single-rooted extracted teeth were selected, decoronated and then instrumented. Samples were randomly divided into three experimenta...

Parendodontic surgery is indicated for teeth with a persistent periradicular pathological process, which did not respond to the conventional approach. This intervention also requested cases of accidents in endodontic treatment. Among these, overfilling and extravasation cone obturator cement can lead appearance chronic inflammatory process tissues. The difficulty removing this material makes ne...

introduction: microleakage is of the causes of endodontic treatment failure. the aim of this in vitro study, was to compare the microleakage of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) and calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement apical plugs in three environments. methods and materials: a total of 130 human extracted single rooted teeth were collected. after decoronation, preparation of the root canal sp...

Introduction: Both Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) and Portland cement (PC) have been highlighted because of their favorable biological properties, with extensive applications in Endodontics, including the possibility of using into root canal filling. Objective: This article reviews literature related to MTA and PC comparing their physical, chemical and biological properties, as well as their ...

introduction: particle size and distribution can influence the properties of materials. this study analyzed and compared the particle size of root mta, calcium hydroxide (ch), and a new endodontic cement called calcium enriched material (cem). materials and methods: the particle size of each material was analyzed three times using 0.05 mg of test material with a particle size analyzer. the part...

this case report represents the outcome of endodontic treatment in an infected mandibular molar with periradicular periodontitis and inherent poor prognosis of root canal treatment due to severe root curvature. the tooth was successfully treated by leaving the mesial root non-obturated, the canal orifices were coronally sealed with calcium enriched mixture cement and a definitive coronal amalga...

introduction: there are numerous factors that can lead to tooth discoloration after endodontic treatment, such as penetration of endodontic materials into the dentinal tubules during root canal treatment. the aim of this in vitro study was to compare discoloration induced by tooth colored mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) and calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement in extracted human teeth. method...

Introduction: Sealing ability of a retrograde filling material is an important factor for a successful endodontic apicoectomy. The purpose of this in-vitro study was to compare the sealing ability of calcium enriched mixture (CEM) cement versus amalgam as root-end filling materials. Methods: A total of 36 canals of extracted maxillary central incisors were instrumented and obturated using later...
