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...

Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has shown potential as a root-end filling material. This clinical case describes the successful treatment of a premolar with an open apex using MTA and the warm gutta-percha technique. The results suggested that MTA may be used as an apical filling material in permanent teeth with multiple canals.

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 w...

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...

This case report presents conservative management of unset mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) after being placed as a root-end filling material following periapical surgery. Periapical surgery was indicated for a maxillary lateral incisor of a 15-year-old male due to persistent exudate and a large periapical lesion. During surgery Angelus MTA was placed as root-end filling. The next session it wa...

Introduction: Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has a variety of possible uses, including root-end filling material due to its excellent sealing ability in the presence of moisture and a high degree of biocompatibility. Aim: This case report demonstrates the use of MTA as an obturating material to promote periapical healing of root canals with large apical rarefactions. Materials and Methods: An...

The effect of Super-EBA cement as a root-end filling placed in teeth before replantation was examined in eight molar roots in monkeys. After extraction, root ends were resected, the canals contaminated with oral bacteria, root-end cavities prepared, and fillings of Super-EBA placed before replantation. After 8 wk, the jaws were removed and prepared for histological examination. The tissue respo...
