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...

Simulated furcation perforations were repaired with and without blood contamination utilizing tooth-colored mineral trioxide aggregrate (MTA) mixed with either MTA liquid (sterile water), lidocaine, or saline. Samples underwent Instron testing at either 24 or 72 hours and at 7 days. Data were analyzed using a 3-way ANOVA and post-hoc testing using Turkey's true test for significance. All of the...

Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has been recommended for pulp capping, pulpotomy, apical barrier formation in teeth with open apexes, repair of root perforation and root canal obturation. Since, its introduction in 1993 by Torabinejad numerous studies have been published regarding various aspects of this material. The aim of this review was to consider MTA as root canal sealer and various labo...

The access ionization attempt may occur during the coronary period, which lead to a posterior dental access. maintenance of primary tooth is important, especially in cases permanent agenesis. aim this study report clinical case about perforation sealing, endodontic retreatment, and installation fixed prosthesis lower molar. A patient was selected from clinic Fapac/Itpac Porto Nacional - TO, asy...

Introduction: Vertical root fractures (VRFs) in endodontic treatment teeth are most serious complication. VRFs have a poor prognosis and usually result in tooth extraction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) filled teeth for VRFs using by dental operate microscope (DOM). Methods: Fifty-two endodontic treatment teeth with VRFs were...

Background: Diaphragmatic hernia is a rare complication after hepatic radiofrequency ablation (RFA). We herein present a case of a patient who underwent laparoscopic repair of diaphragmatic perforation with colonic herniation occurring 12 months after hepatic RFA. Case presentation: An 80-year-old man underwent RFA under computed tomography guidance using a cool-tip radiofrequency probe with a ...
