Cytocompatibility of repair materials plays a significant role in the success of root canal repair. We conducted a comparative study on the cytocompatibility among iRoot BP Plus, iRoot FS, ProRoot MTA, and Super-EBA in L929 cells and MG63 cells. The results revealed that iRoot FS was able to completely solidify within 1 hour. iRoot BP Plus required 7-day incubation, which was much longer than e...

The aim of this study was to determine, by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS), the concentration levels of 11 metals in Type V gray and structural white PC, ProRoot MTA, and MTA Bio. Samples, containing one gram of each tested cement, were prepared and transferred to a 100 mL Teflon tube with a mixture of 7.0 mL of nitric acid and 21 mL of hydrochloric acid. After the reaction, the mixture wa...

The aim of this study was to determine the subcutaneous connective tissue reactions Medcem MTA and Pure Portland Cement. MTA, Cement ProRoot were placed in polyethylene tubes implanted into dorsal Sprague Dawley rats. presence inflammation, edema, necrosis, dystrophic calcification, thickness fibrous capsule formation recorded by histological examination 7, 30, 60 days after implantation proced...

Tricalcium silicate-based materials are growing in popularity for dental procedures. This study reports the physical properties of two experimental tricalcium silicate-based Generex A and B materials. Generex A is designed for vital dental pulp therapy, the repair of root perforations, or to seal a resected root apex. Generex B is designed for nonsurgical root canal procedures as a sealant. ADA...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this in vitro study was to determine the liquid-powder ratio, setting time, solubility, dimensional change, pH, and radiopacity of white structural and non-structural Portland cement, ProRoot MTA and MTA Bio, associated with a 2% glycolic solution containing Aloe Vera, as vehicle. METHODS AND MATERIALS Five samples of each material were used for each test, according to...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the biocompatibility of MTA and the experimentally manufactured portland cement (EMPC). STUDY DESIGN Twenty one Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were allocated to testing of three groups. Group I and Group II included ProRoot MTA and the EMPC. The materials were mixed with distilled water and placed in polyethylene tubes. The tubes were implanted s...

Chemical composition and porosity characteristics of calcium silicate-based endodontic cements are important determinants of their clinical performance. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the chemical composition and porosity characteristics of various calcium silicate-based endodontic cements: MTA-angelus, Bioaggregate, Biodentine, Micromega MTA, Ortho MTA, and ProRoot MTA. Th...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate tooth discoloration caused by contact with a novel injectable mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA)-based root canal sealer (Endoseal; Maruchi, Wonju, Korea) compared with a widely used resin-based root canal sealer (AHplus; Dentsply De Trey, Konstanz, Germany) and conventional MTA (ProRoot; Dentsply, Tulsa, OK, USA). MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty sta...

INTRODUCTION This study was designed aiming to determine and compare the amount of arsenic in some brands of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Portland cement. METHODS In the present study, arsenic species (As[III], As[V], and dimethylarsinic acid) were separated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a strong anion exchange column and converted into arsines by online HG. T...

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...
