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 ...

Physical properties and biological effects of mineral trioxide aggregate mixed with methylcellulose and calcium chloride

J. appl. oral sci; 25 (6), 2017
Abstract Objectives: Methylcellulose (MC) is a chemical compound derived from cellulose. MTA mixed with MC reduces setting time and increases plasticity. This study assessed the influence of MC as an anti-washout ingredient and CaCl2 as a setting time accelerator on the physical and biological propertie...

Cytotoxic effects of new MTA-based cement formulations on fibroblast-like MDPL-20 cells

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract The present study aimed at evaluating the cytotoxic effects of a novel cement called CER on periodontal fibroblast-like cells of mice (MDPL-20), in comparison with different formulations of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA), by means of the cell viability test (MTT) and cell morphology analysis. ...
