background and aims. mineral trioxide aggregate and calcium hydroxide are considered the gold standard pulp-capping materials. recently, portland cement has been introduced with properties similar to those of mineral trioxide aggregate. histopathological effects of direct pulp capping using mineral trioxide aggregate and portland cements on dog dental pulp tissue were evaluated in the present s...

The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of white mineral trioxide aggregate and gray mineral trioxide aggregate with different thicknesses and light curing glass ionomer cement when used as a barrier material in intracoronal bleaching procedures. In this study, 130 freshly extracted, caries free human permanent single rooted maxillary canine teeth were used. The teeth were random...

Internal root resorption (IRR) is characterized by progressive loss of tooth substance initiating at the root canal wall as a result of clastic activity. The use of periodontal surgery and mineral trioxide aggregate is a good approach to repair lesions with periodontal communication (perforating IRR). This case describes the treatment and follow-up of a maxillary central incisor with perforatin...

introduction: mineral trioxide aggregate is being widely used for root end filling, pulp capping, perforation repair, and other endodontic procedures. recently, a material similar to proroot mineral trioxide aggregate (pmta) was developed in iran named root mineral trioxide aggregate (rmta) with the claim of having the exact result of original mta. the purpose of this study was to compare the a...

AIM To analyse the physicochemical properties of a Nano white mineral trioxide aggregate (NWMTA) and compare it with white mineral trioxide aggregate (WMTA). METHODOLOGY White mineral trioxide aggregate and NWMTA were prepared and mixed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Surface area of powder before hydration, setting time, X-ray diffraction and microhardness at pH values of 4.4 a...

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 & 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. ...
