for management of a symptomatic maxillary lateral incisor with dull pain on chewing, suppurative sinus tract, defective metal-ceramic crown and iatrogenic internal root resorption, an interdisciplinary approach was taken. two-visit nonsurgical treatment with calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement, replacement of metal-ceramic crown with all-ceramic crown and corrective periodontal plastic surger...

introduction: the aim of this in vitro study was to determine the sealing ability of orthograde proroot mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) and calcium enriched mixture (cem) cement as root-end filling materials. materials and methods: fifty four extracted single-rooted human teeth were used. the samples were randomly divided into 3 experimental groups. in group a and b, 4 mm of wmta and cem cemen...

severe traumatic injuries to immature teeth often cause damage to periodontal ligament as well as dental pulp; pulp necrosis, root resorption and subsequent apical lesion are common consequences. this article reports the surgical management of an infected immature maxillary central incisor associated with a gigantic periradicular lesion and severe root resorption. the tooth had a history of tra...

introduction: the aim of this study was to compare the marginal adaptation of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) and calcium-enriched mixture(cem) cement apical plugs in open apex teeth in dry, blood- and saliva-contaminated canals. methods and materials: a total of 120 human extracted single-rooted teeth were used. the teeth were decoronated and canals were cleaned and shaped up to #80 k-files. ...

background and aims. the aim of this study was to compare the biocompatibility of calcium-enriched mixture ce-ment (cem), composite resin and nano-particled mineral trioxide aggregate (np-mta) using human gingival fibroblasts. materials and methods. a comparative in vitro cell culture study was carried out using 60 single-rooted teeth which were assigned to the following four groups: 1) untreat...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to compare the sealability of three different commercial types of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) and calcium enrichment mixture (cem) cement as an experimental root-end filling material. materials and methods: forty-six single rooted teeth were cleaned, shaped, and obturated. the apical 3 mm of each root was resected and root-end cavities with 3 mm ...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this ex vivo study was to assess the effect of two root-end filling materials against Candida (C) Albicans. MATERIALS AND METHODS ProRoot MTA and CEM Cement were compared immediately and 24 h after mixing, in two different concentrations (50 and 100 mg/mL). A total of 50 culture wells were used and divided into experimental (n=10) and control groups (n=5). Those wi...

introduction : root-end preparation and restoration with an endodontic material are required when nonsurgical endodontic retreatment has failed or is impossible. the present clinical study reports the treatment outcomes of periradicular surgery using calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement. materials and methods: a prospective outcome study of periradicular surgery using cem was conducted on 14 p...
