The purpose of this paper was to study the reaction of rat subcutaneous connective tissue to the implantation of dentin tubes filled with white mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), a material that will be marketed. The tubes were implanted into rat subcutaneous tissue and the animals were sacrificed after 7 and 30 days. The undecalcified pieces were prepared for histological analysis with polarize...

Back ground: Immature teeth with necrotic pulp and large periapical lesion are difficult to treat via conventional endodontic therapy. The role of materials such as calcium hydroxide and Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) are indispensable. These case reports present successful healing and apexification using MTA. Methods: The case reports present two cases with traumatized upper anterior teeth. ...

background: the ability of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) to strengthen the tooth structure has been studied with contradictory results, and there is a lack of data in the case of calciumenriched mixture (cem) cement as a novel endodontic biomaterial. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the reinforcing effect of mta and cem cement on simulated immature teeth. materials and methods: t...

Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) cement is widely used in the field of endodontic treatment. We herein synthesized calcium silicates from carbonate and silicon dioxide, with aim reducing cost associated MTA. Additionally, we prepared gypsum-containing silicate to reduce setting time while enhancing mechanical strength. evaluated physical properties this investigated response human dental pulp s...

The absence of a natural apical constriction in permanent tooth makes endodontic treatment a challenge. Traditionally, calcium hydroxide was used for inducing the formation of an apical barrier. Currently, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has shown promising results for apexification procedures. In an open apex, it is imperative to limit the MTA placement within the confines of the root canal f...

INTRODUCTION To evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of pulpotomy treatment with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) in symptomatic mature permanent teeth with carious exposure. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten patients aged 27-54 years presented with 11 symptomatic permanent teeth (n=11). Each offending carious tooth was clinically and radiographically determined. We removed caries as conse...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of calcium hydroxide, double and triple antibiotic paste on the sealing ability of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) apical plugs. METHODS AND MATERIALS A total of 90 extracted teeth with single canals were prepared and randomly divided into four experimental groups (n=20). Intra-canal medicaments were applied for 3 wee...

The conventional method of apexification with calcium hydroxide has certain disadvantages such as very long period of treatment, tooth fracture and an incomplete calcification of the bridge. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) as an apical sealing material has gained importance as an alternative treatment for open apices. We report a case of complete healing of a periapical abscess after placement...

Management of a tooth with open apex is a challenge to the dental practitioners. Evaluation of the periapical healing is required in such cases by radiographic techniques. The objective of this paper was to assess the healing of a periapical lesion in a non-vital tooth with open apex treated with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) obturation using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). The endodon...

The article presents the results of using a material based on mineral trioxide unit “Bio-Dent”for indirect coating pulp. It was found that there were no complaints from use domestic Portland cement both in near term (98.8%) and inthe long after treatment comparison with materials calcium hydroxide (72.5%). Stabilization pulp electroexcitability indicators at level 10 mkA noted MTA “Bio-Dent”as ...
