INTRODUCTION The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of 2% chlorhexidine (CHX) on the push-out bond strength (BS) of calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement. METHODS AND MATERIALS Root-dentin slices from 60 single-rooted human teeth with the lumen diameter of 1.3 mm were used. The samples were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=15), and their lumens were filled with CEM cement ...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the tooth discoloration induced by calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). METHODS AND MATERIALS Forty five endodontically treated human maxillary central incisors were selected and divided into three groups (n=15) after removing the coronal 3 mm of the obturating materials. In the MTA group, white...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of various irrigants on the push-out bond strength of calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). METHODS AND MATERIALS A total of 140 dentin disks with a thickness of 1.5±0.2 mm and lumen size of 1.3 mm, were randomly divided into 12 groups (n=10) and 4 control groups (n=5). The lumen of di...

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: endodontic treatment in pulpless immature teeth is challenging due to the lack of an apical stop. insertion of an apical plug is an alternative to conventional long-term apexification with calcium hydroxide. the aim of this study was to compare the apical microleakage of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) and calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement as apical plugs with three different...

intentional tooth reimplantation can be an alternative treatment option for teeth with poor or hopeless prognosis where coronal and surgical endodontic treatment(s) are not possible. this technique may help to restore a natural tooth to function in preference to prosthesis/implant replacements. a 38-years old male was referred to private practice with persistent chronic apical periodontitis of ...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to compare the discoloration potential of calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement, white mineral trioxide aggregate (WMTA) and calcium hydroxide (CH), after placement in pulp chamber. METHODS AND MATERIALS Access cavities were prepared in 40 intact maxillary central incisors. Then, a 2×2 mm box was prepared on the middle third of the inner surface on the b...
