The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of white mineral trioxide aggregate and gray mineral trioxide aggregate with different thicknesses and light curing glass ionomer cement when used as a barrier material in intracoronal bleaching procedures. In this study, 130 freshly extracted, caries free human permanent single rooted maxillary canine teeth were used. The teeth were random...

background and aims. mineral trioxide aggregate and calcium hydroxide are considered the gold standard pulp-capping materials. recently, portland cement has been introduced with properties similar to those of mineral trioxide aggregate. histopathological effects of direct pulp capping using mineral trioxide aggregate and portland cements on dog dental pulp tissue were evaluated in the present s...

introduction: mineral trioxide aggregate is being widely used for root end filling, pulp capping, perforation repair, and other endodontic procedures. recently, a material similar to proroot mineral trioxide aggregate (pmta) was developed in iran named root mineral trioxide aggregate (rmta) with the claim of having the exact result of original mta. the purpose of this study was to compare the a...

introduction : solubility of root filling materials is heavily influenced by the environment they are in contact with. this study compared the solubility of proroot mta in deionized water and synthetic tissue fluid. materials & methods: forty specimens of prepared mta were immersed in deionized water and synthetic tissue fluid (20 samples each). the solubility was assessed after 7 and 28 days. ...

The histologic response to intentional perforation in the furcations of 28 mandibular premolars in seven dogs was investigated. In half the teeth, the perforations were repaired immediately with either amalgam or mineral trioxide aggregate; in the rest the perforations were left open to salivary contamination before repair. All repaired perforations were left for 4 months before histologic exam...

This study characterized the interactions of mineral trioxide aggregate with a synthetic tissue fluid composed of a neutral phosphate buffer saline solution and root canal dentin in extracted human teeth using inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, and X-ray diffraction. Mineral trioxide aggregate exposed to synth...
