OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxicity of furcal perforation repair materials, GI and MTA, using cell culture technique. STUDY DESIGN The extract of ProRoot MTA and Ketac Molar were treated on PDL cells in a 96-well tissue-culture plate. Cell proliferation after an incubation period of 3 days was determined by using MTT assay. RESULTS The growth of cultured h...

INTRODUCTION Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) mixed with normal saline has short working time, delayed setting time, and poor consistency when used as an apical plug. A preliminary study suggested that substituting normal saline with KY Jelly or 5% calcium chloride (CaCl2) as a vehicle expedites the setting time of MTA. The present in vitro study compared the microleakage of ProRoot MTA mixed w...

introduction: pulpotomy of carious primary teeth with an exposed pulp is a common treatment option. pulpotomy has been conducted with various medicaments over the years. the aim of this study was to evaluate clinical and radiographic success of primary vital pulpotomy with proroot and root mta. materials and methods: in this randomized clinical trial, children aged between 3-7 years who met the...

background and aims. biocompatibility of root-end filling materials is a matter of debate. the aim of this study was to compare the biocompatibility of a variety of commercial proroot wmta cements and a resin-based cement (geristore®) with different ph values of setting reaction and different aluminum contents, implanted into the subcutaneous connective tissue of rats at various time intervals....

BACKGROUND Fungi may play a key part in periradicular diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the antifungal properties of two root-end filling materials, ProRoot Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and MTA-Angelus, against Candida albicans using tube-dilution test. MATERIALS AND METHODS The antifungal properties of ProRoot MTA and MTA-Angelus against C. albicans was assessed...

o t bstract he purpose of this study was to evaluate the antibacerial activity of leachable components of selected rootnd filling materials: amalgam, ProRoot MTA (mineral rioxide aggregate), Intermediate Restorative Material IRM), Super Bond C&B, Geristore, Dyract, Clearfil APX omposite with SE Bond, or Protect Bond. The direct ontact test (DCT) with Staphylococcus aureus, Enterooccus faecalis,...
