introduction: this laboratory study was performed to evaluate the effect of different acidic ph values on the push-out bond strength of calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement. methods and materials: forty-eight root dentin slices were obtained from freshly extracted single rooted human teeth and their lumen were instrumented to achieve a diameter of 1.3 mm. then, cem cement was mixed according t...

to study the effects of nitrogen on tomato plant growth and the possibility of reducing nitrogen in drainage water, two nutrient solutions (complete nutrient solution (n+) and nutrient solution with a 30% decrease in n concentration (n-)) along with and three culture media (perlite, a mixture of perlite and nh4- enriched zeolite and finally a mixture of perlite and raw zeolite) were employed fo...

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: 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 in vitro study assessed and compared the cytotoxicity of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta), calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement, biodentine (bd) and octacalcium phosphate (ocp) on stem cells of the human apical papilla (scap). methods and materials: scaps were isolated from two semi-impacted third molars. the cells were cultured in wells of an insert 24-well plate and were t...
