"It has been said that Mineral Trioxide Aggregate is driving an endodontic revolution. Discuss this statement considering the biological and clinical attributes of this innovative material."

this case report describes the treatment of two immature maxillary central incisors in a 7- year-old female patient. she suffered complicated crown fracture because of trauma, and the root formation was incomplete. white mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) was selected as the pulp-capping material after cervical pulpotomy to preserve the pulp tissue vitality and achieve maturogenesis. follow-up ev...

o bjectives: the aim of this study was to evaluate marginal adaptation of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta), calcium enriched mixture (cem) cement, biodentine and bioaggregate in presence of normal saline and human blood. materials and methods: in this in-vitro experimental study, 80 extracted single-rooted human teeth were instrumented and filled with gutta-percha. after resect- ing the root-en...

introduction: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of remnant root canal medicament, calcium hydroxide on the short and long term sealing ability of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) apical barrier. materials & methods: fifty single-rooted teeth were prepared and apical resorptions were made using sulfuric acid. the teeth were allocated into two experimental groups and two control g...

introduction: microleakage is of the causes of endodontic treatment failure. the aim of this in vitro study, was to compare the microleakage of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) and calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement apical plugs in three environments. methods and materials: a total of 130 human extracted single rooted teeth were collected. after decoronation, preparation of the root canal sp...

BACKGROUND Fungi may play a key part in periradicular diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the antifungal properties of two root-end filling materials, ProRoot Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and MTA-Angelus, against Candida albicans using tube-dilution test. MATERIALS AND METHODS The antifungal properties of ProRoot MTA and MTA-Angelus against C. albicans was assessed...

background and aims: in various clinical situations, mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) may come into direct contact with blood. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of exposure to blood on marginal adaptation and surface microstructure of mta. materials and methods: thirty extracted human single-rooted teeth were used in this study. standard root canal treatment was carried ou...
