Physicochemical properties of pozzolan Portland cement were compared to ProRoot MTA and MTA BIO. To test the pH, the samples were immersed in distilled water for different periods of time. After the pH analysis, the sample was retained in the plastic recipient, and the electrical conductivity of the solution was measured. The solubility and radiopacity properties were evaluated according to spe...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of gray and white ProRoot MTA to seal furcation perforations in mandibular molars using a dye extraction leakage model. Sixty-four mandibular molars were randomly divided into four experimental groups. Six teeth with perforations were used as positive controls and six teeth without perforations were used as negative controls. Perforations in...

introduction : furcal perforations are one of the most challenging causes of endodontic failures. several materials including mta have been used for non surgical repair of these perforations. the aim of this study was to compare treatment outcome of furcal perforation treatment in primary molars using root mta and proroot mta. materials and methods: this in vitro study was conducted on 54 prima...

OBJECTIVE To study the in vivo osteoinductive potential, bone-bonding ability (bioactivity) and bone biomineralization of current hydraulic calcium silicate cements used as graft materials and placed in contact with medullary bone. METHODS ProRoot MTA, MTA Plus and Biodentine were used to fill surgical bone defects (2-mm diameter through the entire cortical thickness to reach the medullary bo...

Setting of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is affected by various factors. The purpose this in vitro study was to evaluate the influence root canal wall thickness on mechanical properties MTA along whole apical plug. Bovine bone mold tubes with internal diameter 2 mm, height 5 and 0.8 1.2 1.6 mm were filled 3 ProRoot kept 37 °C relative humidity 100% for 7 days. indentation hardness reduced mo...

Metodologia: Foram utilizados artigos indexados nos bancos dados LILACS, Scielo e PUBMED, anos 1987 a 2017. Resultados: Os da literatura relatam como ProRoot MTA, MTA-Angelus, Endosequence Root Repair Material...

INTRODUCTION Solubility of root filling materials is heavily influenced by the environment they are in contact with. This study compared the solubility of ProRoot MTA in deionized water and synthetic tissue fluid. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty specimens of prepared MTA were immersed in deionized water and synthetic tissue fluid (20 samples each). The solubility was assessed after 7 and 28 days....
