introduction: this case report describes apexogenesis treatment of three molar teeth of an 8-year-old boy using three different pulpotomy agents. methods: pulpotomy was performed on decayed immature molar teeth with established irreversible pulpitis and the remaining pulp was capped with either zinc oxide eugenol, proroot mineral trioxide aggregate or calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement. teet...

introduction: the aim of this study was to compare the cytotoxicity of proroot mta (pmta), root mta (rmta) and portland cement (pc) on human gingival fibroblasts (hgfs). materials and methods: the extracts of the test materials were placed close to human gingival fibroblasts (hgfs) within 96-well plates. cellular viability was assessed using mtt assay in different intervals (freshly mixed, 4, 2...

Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the effect different hardening times and blood contamination MTA Biodentine, which are widely used for pulp capping treatments in market, on shear bond strength (SBS) with a self-etch adhesive resin, after (24, 48, 72 96 hours). Materials Methods: Slots diameter 5 mm height 2 were prepared 192 acrylic blocks study. Both ProRoot Biodentine accordi...

Background/Aim: This in-vitro study evaluated the apical-sealing ability of MTA, MTA+10% CaCl2, Biodentine™ and RMGIC when used as retrograde material. Material Methods: A total 80 single-rooted bovine incisors were decoronated, instrumented, divided into 4 groups according to material, follows: Group 1: MTA (ProRoot Dentsply); 2: Dentsply) + 10% CaCl2; 3: Biodentine (Biodentine®, Septodont); 4...

Objective: To compare the micro-shear bond strengths of 3 different universal adhesives to 2 calcium silicate-based materials. Methods: A hole was prepared in center top surfaces 60 cylindrical acrylic blocks, and blocks were randomly divided into groups (n=30) according biomaterial filling; NeoMTA Plus (Avalon Biomed Inc. Bradenton, FL, USA) ProRoot MTA (Dentsply Tulsa, OK, USA). Biomaterials ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare two methodologies used in the evaluation of tissue response to root-end filling materials in rats. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty rats were divided into 4 groups: in Groups I and II (control groups), empty polyethylene tubes were implanted in the extraction site and in the subcutaneous tissue, respectively; in Groups III and IV, polyethylene tubes fi...

INTRODUCTION MTA Plus is a new calcium silicate cement with unknown cytotoxicity characteristics. The objectives of this study were to examine the effect of MTA Plus on the viability, apoptosis/necrosis profile, and oxidative stress levels of rat odontoblast-like cells. METHODS MDPC-23 cells were exposed to gray and white MTA Plus (GMTAP, WMTAP), gray and white ProRoot MTA (GMTA, WMTA) cement...
