Carrier and syringe-type devices are currently used to deliver mineral trioxide aggregate as a root-end filling material. In certain surgical situations these devices may be too difficult to use because of the location of the surgical site and the small size of the root-end preparation. This paper describes a new technique to overcome these difficulties by the formation and delivery of mineral ...

Endodontic surgical procedures involve the use of a root-end filling material to provide an apical seal and to facilitate the repair and regeneration of periradicular tissues. Whereas earlier studies typically evaluated the cytotoxicity of these materials, contemporary research has focused on their capacity to support a favourable cellular response. In vitro tissue culture techniques have demon...

OBJECTIVES This study investigated cellular attachment to 6 root-end filling materials as a measure of the biocompatibility of the materials. MATERIAL AND METHODS Class I retrograde cavities were prepared in root slices and these cavities were filled with the test materials, and incubated with Balb/C 3T3 fibroblasts for 24 h. Root slices with the cavities left empty served as the controls. Th...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Surgical endodontics may sometimes fail despite using root-end filling materials (REFMs). In this case report, a symptomatic right maxillary first premolar underwent periradicular surgery (PS) for replacing huge rate of amalgam with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA).CASE REPORT: A thirty-year-old healthy woman attended with the chief complaint of recurrent swelling and absces...

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...

AIM The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the marginal adaptation of five root-end filling materials. METHODS AND MATERIALS Fifty human single-rooted teeth were resected 3 mm from the apex. Root-end cavities were then prepared using an ultrasonic tip and filled with one of the following materials: silver amalgam without zinc, white MTA-Angelus, white Portland cement (PC), Vitremer...

Background: Surgical endodontic therapy is the prescribed treatment of choice whenever the non-surgical options fail which includes the use of a root end filling material. E. faecalis is the most prevalent organism associated with the treatment failed cases Aim: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate and compare the antimicrobial efficacy of Biodentine and MTA as root end filling mate...

A number of root-repair materials have been developed by various manufacturers, including Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) that has adequate biological and physical properties of a good root repair material [1,2]. MTA has been used for apexification, perforation repair, root resorption, and as a root-end filling material. The main ingredients of MTA are silicate oxide, tricalcium oxide, tricalc...
