Introduction This systematic review intended to compare the biocompatibility and sealing ability of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and biodentine as root-end filling material. Materials and Methods A computerized literature search was performed on March 1, 2016, in MEDLINE, PubMed, and COCHRANE LIBRARY for data published from January 2011 to March 2016. Quality assessment of the selected st...

OBJECTIVES This study was performed to evaluate the cytotoxicity of four calcium silicate-based endodontic cements at different storage times after mixing. MATERIALS AND METHODS Capillary tubes were filled with Biodentine (Septodont), Calcium Enriched Mixture (CEM cement, BioniqueDent), Tech Biosealer Endo (Tech Biosealer) and ProRoot MTA (Dentsply Tulsa Dental). Empty tubes and tubes contain...

INTRODUCTION The transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels have emerged as important cellular sensors in both neuronal and non-neuronal cells, with TRPA1 playing a central role in nociception and neurogenic inflammation. The functionality of TRP channels has been shown to be modulated by inflammatory cytokines. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of inflammation on odontob...

Aim: The purpose of this study is compare sealing ability of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Biodentine as root end filling material, and also to compare the effect of different retro preparation techniques i.e. conventional bur v/s ultrasonic tips on sealing ability of both the root end filling materials. Materials and Methods: Totally, 40 extracted human single rooted teeth were decorona...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to compare the push-out bond strength of white ProRoot Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA), Biodentine, calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement and Endosequence Root Repair Material (ERRM) putty after exposure to blood. METHODS AND MATERIALS A total of 96 root dentin slices with a standardized thickness of 1.00±0.05 mm and standardized canal spaces were r...

Aim of the Study The aim of this study was to compare and evaluate the sealing ability of four root end filling materials mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA)-Plus, Biodentine, MTA (MTA Angelus) and glass ionomer cement (GIC) using fluid filtration method. Materials and Methods Forty-four extracted, human single-rooted teeth were collected. The crown of each tooth was decoronated 2 mm above the c...

MTA is used widely in endodontic treatment as a pulp capping material, root-end filling material, and perforation repair. Although MTA has many favorable properties, long setting time is a clinical disadvantage. To overcome this problem many studies were performed. Hydration accelerators, such as citric acid, lactic acid, calcium chloride, and calcium lactate gluconate, were added during the mi...

Quest for newer material are never ending especially in the field of dental science. Various materials have been formulated, tested, and standardised to obtain maximum benefits for good clinical performance .One such new material which was introduced is Biodentine which has numerous clinical applications. An ideal orthograde or retrograde filling material should seal the pathways of communicati...

Materials and Methods: 15 single rooted premolars were selected and middle portion of each root was sectioned perpendicular to the long axis to produce two discs of 2.00 ± 0.05 mm thickness using a diamond disk. 30 root slices were produced and canal lumen was widened using Gates Glidden drills to produce standardized internal diameter of 1.3mm and root sections were filled with ERRM, MTA and B...

Objective(s): Biocompatibility of dental biomaterials plays a critical role in regeneration of dental stem cells. The aim of present study was to evaluate the effects of novel biomaterials of TheraCal-LC (TheraCal; Bisco), Angelus mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA; Angelus), calcium-enriched mixture (CEM; BioniqueDent), and Biodentine (Septodont) on viability of human de...
