Iatrogenic perforation of the furcation area in multi-rooted molars during preparation of the access cavity can potentially lead to tooth extraction. The present case report describes the nonsurgical endodontic management of an extensive pulp chamber floor perforation in a first mandibular molar with calcium enriched mixture (CEM) cement. The perforation was chemically cleaned and then physical...

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: endodontic treatment in pulpless immature teeth is challenging due to the lack of an apical stop. insertion of an apical plug is an alternative to conventional long-term apexification with calcium hydroxide. the aim of this study was to compare the apical microleakage of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) and calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement as apical plugs with three different...

INTRODUCTION This case report describes apexogenesis treatment of three molar teeth of an 8-year-old boy using three different pulpotomy agents. METHODS Pulpotomy was performed on decayed immature molar teeth with established irreversible pulpitis and the remaining pulp was capped with either zinc oxide eugenol, ProRoot mineral trioxide aggregate or calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement. Teet...

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...

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 Broken instruments in root canals complicate routine endodontic treatment. This study aimed to compare apical microleakage in root canals containing broken rotary instruments filled with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement, laterally compacted gutta-percha and injected gutta-percha. METHODS AND MATERIALS In this in vitro, experimental study, 80...

INTRODUCTION The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether adding 2% chlorhexidine (CHX) and 2.6% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) to calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement would affect its setting time (ST), or not. METHODS AND MATERIALS In this study, the setting time of CEM cement was evaluated in three groups (n=9) as follows: group 1; CEM cement, group 2; CEM cement+2% CHX and group 3; ...

Experiments were performed at lab scale in order to test the possibility to grow microalgae with CO2 from gaseous effluent of cement industry. Four microalgal species (Dunaliella tertiolecta, Chlorella vulgaris, Thalassiosira weissflogii, and Isochrysis galbana), representing four different phyla were grown with CO2 enriched air or with a mixture of gasses mimicking the composition of a typical...
