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...

AIM To report the hydration mechanism of white mineral trioxide aggregate (White MTA, Dentsply, Tulsa Dental Products, Tulsa, OK, USA). METHODOLOGY The chemical constitution of white MTA was studied by viewing the powder in polished sections under the scanning electron microscope (SEM). The hydration of both white MTA and white Portland cement (PC) was studied by characterizing cement hydrate...

Pathological changes in pulp and periapical tissues are addressed by endodontic treatment. The material used in this treatment must be biocompatible. The aim of this study is to compare the skin reaction of Calcium Enriched Mixture (CEM) and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) produced in Iran on rabbit. Sixteen male newzeland albino rabbits weighting 2 kg were used. The animals back hair was sha...

Introduction: Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) as an alternative material to gutta-percha for obturation of root canal in special cases has several drawbacks. The purpose of this study was to compare the apical sealing ability of a new MTA-based sealer versus MTA. Materials and Methods: A total of 36 canals of extracted maxillary central incisors were instrumented and randomly divided into 3...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the success and failure, apical sealing and biocompatibility of silver amalgam, IRM, SuperEBA and MTA as retrograde filler materials. STUDY DESIGN A metaanalysis is made of filler materials in periapical surgery, evaluating a total of 30 articles published in recent years. RESULTS Percentage success with silver amalgam was 76.5% and slightly inferior to that afforded b...

Multiple analyses discussed using MTA as direct capping material. These reports have shown that MTA is a promising material for the preservation of pulp tissue when used as a direct capping material. Many clinical studies have demonstrated successful outcomes after the use of MTA as a capping agent on mechanically or cariously exposed pulps. The studies performed by us in this research focused ...
