A comparative study of the biocompatibility of two root-end filling materials in rat connective tissue

Int. j. morphol; 37 (3), 2019
The aim of the present study was to examine the short-term biocompatibility of Endosequence Root Repair Material (ERRM) paste and white Mineral Trioxide Aggregate MTA by implanting them into polyethylene tubes in the subcutaneous connective tissue of rats. twenty five male Wistar rats, 3-4 months old, we...

Cytotoxicity, biocompatibility and biomineralization of a new ready-for-use bioceramic repair material

Braz. dent. j; 30 (4), 2019
Abstract New mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) formulations are constantly introduced in the market, usually in a powder-and-liquid form. Bioceramic (Bio-C) Repair is a ready-for-use material suggested as substitute for MTA, but its properties need to be studied. This study evaluated the cytotoxicity, bio...

Tratamento com MTA Repair HP de extensa perfuração radicular após iatrogenia: relato de caso

RFO UPF; 24 (1), 2019
Objetivo: relatar um caso clínico de perfuração radicular causada por iatrogenia, em terço cervical e médio de um incisivo central superior, dente 21, com presença de lesão óssea periapical. Relato de caso: clinicamente, pôde-se constatar ausência de edema e fístula. Na avaliação da condiç...

Influence of pregnancy on the inflammatory process following direct pulp capping: a preliminary study in rats

Braz. dent. j; 30 (1), 2019
Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the inflammatory process following direct pulp capping during pregnancy. This experimental study involved 48 maxillary first molars of female Wistar rats. The procedures were performed in pregnant and non-pregnant animals (n =20 each). Direct pulp cappin...

Effect of sonic and ultrasonic activation on physicochemical properties of root canal sealers

J. appl. oral sci; 27 (), 2019
Abstract Objective: To evaluate the effect of ultrasonic and sonic activation on physicochemical properties of AH Plus, MTA Fillapex, ADSeal, GuttaFlow Bioseal, and GuttaFlow 2 sealers. Methodology: Three experimental groups were formed: no activation (NA), ultrasonic activation (UA), and sonic activat...

Influence of photobiomodulation therapy on root development of rat molars with open apex and pulp necrosis

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the role of photobiomodulation (PBM) in apexification and apexogenesis of necrotic rat molars with an open apex. Rat molars were exposed to the oral environment for 3 weeks. Canals were rinsed with 2.5% NaOCl and 17% EDTA, filled with antibiotic paste and sealed. Aft...

Hypertension affects the biocompatibility and biomineralization of MTA, High-plasticity MTA, and Biodentine®

Abstract This study evaluated the effect of hypertension on tissue response and biomineralization capacity of white Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA), High-plasticity MTA (MTA HP), and Biodentine® (BDT) in rats. Polyethylene tubes filled with MTA, MTA HP, BDT, and the control group (empty tubes) were pla...

Effects of MTA and Brazilian propolis on the biological properties of dental pulp cells

Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Brazilian propolis on the cell viability, mineralization, anti-inflammatory ability, and migration of human dental pulp cells (hDPCs). The cell viability was evaluated with CCK-8 kit after 1, 5, 7, and 9 da...

A comparison of the sealing abilities between Biodentine and MTA as root-end filling materials and their effects on bone healing in dogs after periradicular surgery

J. appl. oral sci; 27 (), 2019
ABSTRACT Objectives: To compare the sealing ability and biocompatibility of Biodentine with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) when used as root-end filling materials. Methodology: The Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was used to compare the cytotoxicity of MTA and Biodentine. Twenty-one extracted teeth...

Cytotoxicity and biocompatibility of a new bioceramic endodontic sealer containing calcium hydroxide

Abstract: This study evaluated the cytotoxicity and biocompatibility of a new bioceramic endodontic sealer (i.e., Sealer Plus BC) in comparison with those of MTA Fillapex and AH Plus. L929 fibroblasts were cultured and Alamar Blue was used to evaluate cell viability of diluted extracts (1:50, 1:100, and ...
