INTRODUCTION The cytotoxicity of 2 novel calcium silicate-containing endodontic sealers to human gingival fibroblasts was studied. METHODS EndoSequence BC (Brasseler, Savannah, GA), MTA Fillapex (Angelus Indústria de Produtos Odontológicos S/A, Londrina, PR, Brazil) and a control sealer (AH Plus; Dentsply DeTrey GmbH, Konstanz, Germany) were evaluated. Human gingival fibroblasts were incubate...

introduction: this in vitro study compared the cytotoxic effects of three commercially available mta formulations naming proroot mta (pmta), angelus mta (amta), and root mta (rmta), with calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement and a new nanohybrid mta (nmta) on human dental pulp stem cells (dpsc). methods and materials: four disc-shaped specimens of each material were prepared. after completion o...

El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar pH y resistencia a la compresión con relación al tiempo fraguado tres cementos obturación retrógrada. Como controles se emplearon los sellado radicular MTA-Angelus® (MBA) MTA Viarden® (MV), último origen mexicano uno experimental (CE). Las pruebas realizar fueron SEM-EDS, difracción rayos X, pH, distintos tiempos endurecimiento (un día, siete días 28 días...

INTRODUCTION Various materials are used in direct dental pulp capping method. Their biocompatibility and alkalizing abilities are of primary importance affecting therapeutic effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the cytotoxicity of various pulp-capping materials on human gingival fibroblasts and investigate the pH changes induced by these materials. MATERIAL AND METHODS H...

INTRODUCTION It has been documented that total removal of carious dentin, assessed according to clinical criteria, does not mean complete eradication of bacteria. For that reason in prevention of caries and pulp inflammations, application of the materials having high antibacterial properties seems to be indispensable. AIM Determination of antibacterial activities of two white Mineral Trioxide...

INTRODUCTION The aim of the present study was to evaluate the biocompatibility of two modified formulations of Portland cement (PC) mixed with either titanium oxide or both titanium oxide and calcium chloride. METHODS AND MATERIALS Polyethylene tubes were filled with modified PCs or Angelus MTA as the control; the tubes were then implanted in 28 Wistar rats subcutaneously. One tube was left e...

Objective(s): Biocompatibility of dental biomaterials plays a critical role in regeneration of dental stem cells. The aim of present study was to evaluate the effects of novel biomaterials of TheraCal-LC (TheraCal; Bisco), Angelus mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA; Angelus), calcium-enriched mixture (CEM; BioniqueDent), and Biodentine (Septodont) on viability of human de...
