AIM The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare Biodentine and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) as pulpotomy agents by clinical and radiological assessments in primary teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, 90 decayed primary molars indicated for pulpotomy were chosen and are divided into two groups. Soft enamel and dentinal caries were removed using spoon excavator. Access opening ...

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of Biodentine® and two new nanostructured materials based on active silicate cements on exposed tooth pulp of Vietnamese pigs. The study comprised 40 teeth in two Vietnamese pigs (24 months old). After class V cavity preparation, the pulp on each tooth was exposed using a small round bur. The following materials were applied on pulp exposures: Bio...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Previous studies have shown discoloration of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) in contact with root canal irrigation solutions. However, there are limited data on colour stability of other calcium silicate-based materials (CSMs). OBJECTIVES This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the colour stability of three CSMs in contact with different irrigation solutions. MATERIALS A...

Bahan pelindung pulpa yang mampu untuk mempertahankan vitalitas diperlukan pada kasus-kasus terbukanya pulpa, baik disebabkan oleh karena karies, trauma, atau faktor iatrogenik. Oleh itu, bahan tersebut. ini akan berkontak dengan jaringan hidup, yaitu maka digunakan harus memiliki sifat biokompatibel terhadap tubuh manusia. Tujuan tulisan adalah mengkaji parameter sebagai penentu biokompatibili...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the marginal adaptation of biodentine in comparison with mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) and intermediate restorative material (irm), as a root end filling material, using scanning electron microscopy (sem).thirty permanent maxillary central incisors were chemo-mechanically prepared and obturated. three millimetres of the root end were resected and 3mm ret...

Aim: To compare and evaluate the microleakage of three root end filling materials -Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA), Biodentine and bioaggregate using vacuum dye penetration technique. Materials and methodology: Thirty extracted single rooted premolars were selected and decoronated. Root canals of teeth were cleaned, shaped using hand protaper file and obturated with corresponding gutta percha ...

Introduction Direct pulp capping (DPC) is a treatment for maintaining pulp vitality and its biological function. Ideally, pulp capping agents are expected to induce pulp cells to form hard tissue. This in vitro study assessed the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of three vital pulp capping (VPC) agents naming Biodentine (Septodont, Saint-Maur-des-Fosses, France), mineral trioxide aggregate (ProRoo...

The aim of this study is to evaluate the microleakage of repair materials MTA, IRM, and Biodentine applied on furcal perforations with different diameters. One hundred and forty extracted human teeth were used in this study. The teeth were divided into 2 main groups (60 teeth in each) which were then divided into 3 subgroups (n = 20). The remaining 20 teeth were divided into 2 groups (10 in eac...

This study explored an alternative approach using rheology to assess setting time. The following cements were tested: ProRoot® MTA (Dentsply, Tulsa, OK, USA), Biodentine® (Septodont, Saint Maur des Fosses, France), Fuji VII®, FujiVII® EP, and Fuji IX® (from GC Corporation, Tokyo, Japan), RealSeal SE™ Sealer (SybronEndo, Amersfoort, The Netherlands), AH 26® and AH Plus (both from Dentsply DeTrey...
