INTRODUCTION Furcal perforations are one of the most challenging causes of endodontic failures. Several materials including MTA have been used for non surgical repair of these perforations. The aim of this study was to compare treatment outcome of furcal perforation treatment in primary molars using Root MTA and ProRoot MTA. MATERIALS AND METHODS This in vitro study was conducted on 54 primar...

Furcal perforation is usually an undesired complication that can occur during preparation of an endodontic access cavities or exploring canal orifice of multirooted teeth. Inadequacy of the repair materials has been a contributing factor to the poor outcome of repair procedures. On the basis of the recent physical and biologic property studies of the relatively new introduced mineral trioxide a...

Ostracods are small bivalved crustaceans widely distributed in aquatic environments and in total 99 species have been recorded in genus Euphilomedes Kornicker, 1967. In this study, we further describe two new species of benthic ostracods in this genus, Euphilomedes liuruiyii sp. nov. and Euphilomedes pentacanthos sp. nov., collected from the Taiwan Strait in China. These two species can be easi...

INTRODUCTION Iatrogenic furcal perforation is a procedural accident in endodontic treatments of primary/permanent teeth; prognosis may be favorable if a complete seal with biomaterial is immediately established. The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate microleakage of calcium enriched mixture (CEM) cement and ProRoot mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) for sealing primary molar furcal pe...

BACKGROUND Proper bond strength to dentin is one of the properties of biomaterials used for therapeutic purposes such as repair of furcal perforations. The aim of the present study to evaluate the effects of different powder to liquid ratios of Calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) on the push-out bond strengths in simulated perforations in the furcal area and compare it with Mineral trioxide aggregat...

OBJECTIVES Fast-setting pozzolan cement (Endocem, Maruchi) was recently developed. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of various root canal irrigants on the washout of Endocem in comparison to the previously marketed mineral trioxide aggregate (ProRoot; Dentsply) in a furcal perforation model. MATERIALS AND METHODS ProRoot and Endocem were placed into acrylic molds on moist ...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of two types of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) to seal furcal perforations in extracted human molars using an anaerobic bacterial leakage model. Forty, human, maxillary and mandibular molars were randomly divided into two experimental groups of 18, with two teeth used as positive controls and two teeth without perforations used as negative...

Following furcal perforation, bacteria may colonize the defect and cause inflammation periodontal destruction. This study used confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) to evaluate Enterococcus faecalis colonization proliferation in perforations repaired with different materials. Furcal created 55 extracted human mandibular molars were using either MTA-Angelus, Endocem, or Biodentine coronally ...
