inflammatory external root resorption (ierr) after orthodontic treatments is an unusual complication. this case report describes a non-vital maxillary premolar with symptomatic extensive ierr (with a crown/root ratio of 1:1) after receiving orthodontic treatment. the first appointment included drainage, chemo-mechanical preparation of the canal and intra-canal medication with calcium hydroxide ...

introduction: the purpose of this laboratory study was to evaluate the effect of acidic ph on the sealing ability of calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement and mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) apical plugs. methods and materials: seventy single-rooted human maxillary anterior teeth were recruited. the teeth were randomly divided into 4 experimental groups ( n =15), and 1 negative and 1 positive ...

i ntroduction: many of highly-alkaline dental materials have some adverse effects on physical properties of dentin. as basic substances, mineral trioxide aggregate (mta), calcium hydroxide (ch) and the new endodontic material, calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement, may adversely affect dentin. the purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of long-term application of cem cement, ...

crown fractures account for the majority of dental traumas if handled properly, prognosis of the pulp following a traumatic crown fracture can be favorable. the present case report focuses on the treatment of a traumatized mature permanent incisor with exposed pulp that was treated with the novel technique of miniature pulpotomy using calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement. one-year follow-up re...

introduction: the purpose of this ex vivo study was to assess the effect of two root-end filling materials against candida (c) albicans . materials and methods: proroot mta and cem cement were compared immediately and 24 h after mixing, in two different concentrations (50 and 100 mg/ml). a total of 50 culture wells were used and divided into experimental (n=10) and control groups (n=5). those w...

background: the purpose of this study was to compare the push-out bond strength of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) and calcium enriched mixture (cem) as root end fi lling materials. materials and methods: a total of 40 root dentin slices (1 ± 0.2 mm) were prepared from freshly extracted human maxillary central teeth and their lumens were enlarged to 1.3 mm. the slices were randomly divided int...

for management of a symptomatic maxillary lateral incisor with dull pain on chewing, suppurative sinus tract, defective metal-ceramic crown and iatrogenic internal root resorption, an interdisciplinary approach was taken. two-visit nonsurgical treatment with calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement, replacement of metal-ceramic crown with all-ceramic crown and corrective periodontal plastic surger...

introduction: the main goal of this ex vivo study was to assess and compare the cellular and electrophysiological effects of two dental biomaterials, white mineral trioxide aggregate (wmta) and calcium enriched mixture (cem) cement, on neuronal cell excitability and electrical properties. materials and methods: a conventional intracellular current clamp technique was used to study the cellular ...

introduction: the aim of this in vitro study was to determine the sealing ability of orthograde proroot mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) and calcium enriched mixture (cem) cement as root-end filling materials. materials and methods: fifty four extracted single-rooted human teeth were used. the samples were randomly divided into 3 experimental groups. in group a and b, 4 mm of wmta and cem cemen...
