This case series aims to comprehensively introduce intentional replantation with a focus on its indications and case selection in endodontics. In all represented cases, calcium enriched mixture (CEM) cement is used for root-end filling. This case series demonstrates twenty cases of IR and extraoral root-end resection and filling with CEM cement. All the selected teeth had a failed endodontic tr...

introduction: the aim of this experimental laboratory study was to evaluate the effect of different mixing and placement techniques on compressive strength (cs) of calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement. methods and materials: cem powder was mixed with its liquid either by hand mixing or amalgamator mixing. the mixture was loaded to cylindrical acrylic molds with 6.0±0.1 mm height and 4.0±1 mm d...

background: the ability of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) to strengthen the tooth structure has been studied with contradictory results, and there is a lack of data in the case of calciumenriched mixture (cem) cement as a novel endodontic biomaterial. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the reinforcing effect of mta and cem cement on simulated immature teeth. materials and methods: t...

background: one ideal property of a root-end fi lling material is its apical sealing ability. the aim of this in vitro study was to assess bacterial and dye microleakage of white and gray mineral trioxide aggregate (wmta and gmta), portland cement and calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement used as root-end fi lling material, and to assess the agreement between these two test methods. materials a...

introduction : this investigation evaluates the effects of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta), calcium hydroxide (ch) and calcium enriched mixture (cem) as pulp capping materials on dental pulp tissues. materials and methods: the experimental procedures were performed on eighteen intact dog canine teeth. the pulps were exposed. cavities were randomly filled with cem, mta, or ch followed by glass ...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to compare the sealability of three different commercial types of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) and calcium enrichment mixture (cem) cement as an experimental root-end filling material. materials and methods: forty-six single rooted teeth were cleaned, shaped, and obturated. the apical 3 mm of each root was resected and root-end cavities with 3 mm ...

Introduction: Endodontic treatment failure is caused by the leakage of microorganisms and endotoxins, which leads to pathological lesions. Adequate seal of the root canal is essential to preventing recontamination and ensuring the long-term clinical success rate. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and calcium-enriched mixture cement (CEM) are common types of cement with adequate ...

introduction: the aim of this study was to evaluate the compressive strength of calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement in contact with acidic, neutral and alkaline ph values. methods and materials: the cement was mixed according to the manufacturer’s instructions, it was then condensed into fourteen split molds with five 4×6 mm holes. the specimens were randomly divided into 7 groups ( n =10) an...

introduction: the aim of this study was to compare the marginal adaptation of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) and calcium-enriched mixture(cem) cement apical plugs in open apex teeth in dry, blood- and saliva-contaminated canals. methods and materials: a total of 120 human extracted single-rooted teeth were used. the teeth were decoronated and canals were cleaned and shaped up to #80 k-files. ...
