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 am...

introduction: coronal leakage seems to play an important role in the failure of endodontic treatment. a double seal over root canal filling has been suggested as a means of improving the coronal seal. several restorative materials have been used in an attempt to produce a coronal barrier. the purpose of this study was to assess gray-coloured mineral trioxide aggregate (gmta), white-coloured min...

vital pulp therapy (vpt) is a biologic and conservative treatment modality to preserve the vitality and function of the coronal or remaining radicular pulp tissue in vital permanent teeth. a search was conducted via the cochrane database, pubmed, medline, and ovid for any articles with the criteria for “pulp-capping,” or “pulp-capping materials” and “vpt outcomes” from 1978 to mid 2014. all art...

OBJECTIVES Recently, it was shown that NanoMTA improved the setting time and promoted a better hydration process which prevents washout and the dislodgment of this novel biomaterial in comparison with WTMA. This study analyzed the compressive strength of ProRoot WMTA (Dentsply), a NanoWMTA (Kamal Asgar Research Center), and Bioaggregate (Innovative Bioceramix) after its exposure to a range of e...
