external inflammatory root resorption (eir) represents a challenge in endodontic practice. eir commonly occurs after dental trauma that results in periodontal ligament injury, pulp necrosis and subsequent infection.  treatment of eir is based on disinfecting the root canal system through chemomechanical procedures and then filling it with calcium hydroxide or triple antibiotic paste. dental tra...

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...

The use of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) for complete endodontic obturation of an immature maxillary central incisor is reported. The injured tooth of a 9-year-old male was avulsed secondary to a sports-related traumatic event. Early attempts at pulpal revascularization of the replanted tooth proved unsuccessful, as evidenced by radiographic signs of external inflammatory root resorption in ...

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. ...
