Evaluation of physico chemical properties, cell viability and mineralization potential of New Pozzolan (fly Ash)-Based Mineral Trioxide Aggregate cement.

Aim: To evaluate the effect of New Pozzolan(Fly Ash) on physicomechanical properties, cell viability of human pulpal cells (DPSCs) and mineralization potential when incorporated in various concentration in MTA.

Methodology: Groups were based on addition or absence of fly ash; FM (Fly ash modified MTA) and CM (Conventional MTA) respectively. The initial and final setting time, compressive strength and pH was evaluated using Gillmore needle, ISO 4012:1978 and pH meter at varying time intervals.
