Sealing Ability of Nano-fast Cement . Mineral Trioxide Aggregate as Retrograde Apical Plugs: An Microleakage Study.

Introduction: Apical surgery aims to eradicate the apical part of the root and the lesion to enhance the healing. The sealing ability of retrograde filling material is an essential factor affecting the success rate of the surgery. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is the gold standard of retrograde filling materials, with approved sealing capability and biocompatibility.

Cytotoxic Effect of Nano Fast Cement and ProRoot Mineral Trioxide Aggregate on L-929 Fibroblast Cells: an Study.

Statement Of The Problem: Endodontic materials that are placed in direct contact with living tissues should be biocompatible. The cytotoxicity of Nano Fast Cement (NFC) compared to ProRoot Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (ProRoot MTA) must be evaluated.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the cytotoxic effects of NFC in comparison to ProRoot MTA on L-929 mouse fibroblast cells.

Surgical Treatment of a Dens Invagination Type (І) in a Maxillary Lateral Incisor with 6-Year Follow-Up.

Dens invagination is a developmental anomaly that requires specific treatment approaches. The invagination is enamel-lined in the crown of the tooth truly negligible, and usually there is no extension on the level of the external amelocemental junction. A well ending surgical root canal treatment of an invaginated tooth with a retrograde filling is presented in this case report.

Comparative Assessment of Tooth Color Change under the Influence of Nano Fast Cement and MTA.

Statement Of The Problem: Tooth color changes followed by treatment with bioceramic materials are always a matter of concern.

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to compare tooth discoloration that occurs in human teeth filled with ProRoot WMTA (DENTSPLY Tulsa Dental Specialties, Tulsa, OK) and those filled with Nano Fast Cement (NFC) over the course of 3 months.

Materials And Method: In this experimental study, Thirty human intact premolars were obtained.

The Simultaneous Effect of Apical Resection Angle and Depth of Retrograde Cavity on Apical Microleakage Fluid Filtration Method.

Introduction: The goal of apical surgery is to eliminate the root apex, apical lesions and promote tissue repair. In apical surgery, the root is resected at an angle of 45, 60 or 90 degree. In many cases, it is not possible to resect the root at 90-degree bevel and prepare a root-end cavity with 4-mm depth.

The Effect of Intracanal Medicaments on Microleakage of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate Apical Plugs.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of calcium hydroxide, double and triple antibiotic paste on the sealing ability of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) apical plugs.

Methods And Materials: A total of 90 extracted teeth with single canals were prepared and randomly divided into four experimental groups (=20). Intra-canal medicaments were applied for 3 weeks.

Effect of Four Different Media on Periodontal Ligament Cells Viability of Dry- Stored Dog Teeth.

Statement Of The Problem: The maintenance of viable periodontal ligament cells is the most important issue in the long-term preservation of avulsed teeth.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess aloe vera as a new storage media in maintaining the cell viability of dry-stored teeth in comparison with soy milk, Hank`s balanced salt solution (HBSS), and milk.

Materials And Method: Twenty one extracted dog premolar teeth were dried for 30 minutes and stored in soy milk, HBSS, milk, and aloe vera extract (50%) for 45 minutes (n=6 for each).

Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Assessment of Root Canal Transportation by Neoniti and Reciproc Single-File Systems.

Introduction: The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the canal transportation of two single-file engine-driven systems, Neoniti and Reciproc, using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Methods And Materials: Forty-five non-calcified roots with mature apices and apical curvature of 15-30 degrees were selected from extracted human maxillary molars for this study. Samples were randomly divided into two groups (n=20) and a control group (n=5) and canal preparation with either system was performed according to manufacturers' instructions.

The Effects of Alkaline pH on Microleakage of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate and Calcium Enriched Mixture Apical Plugs.

Statement Of The Problem: Alkaline pH can affect the physical and chemical properties and sealing ability of apical plug material. Calcium hydroxide is used as an intracanal medication to complete disinfection of root canals. It raises the pH of environment to alkaline value.

The Effect of Acidic pH on Microleakage of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate and Calcium-Enriched Mixture Apical Plugs.

Introduction: The purpose of this laboratory study was to evaluate the effect of acidic pH on the sealing ability of calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) apical plugs.

Methods And Materials: Seventy single-rooted human maxillary anterior teeth were recruited. The teeth were randomly divided into 4 experimental groups (n=15), and 1 negative and 1 positive control groups of 5.

A histological comparison of a new pulp capping material and mineral trioxide aggregate in rat molars.

Introduction: Recent investigations have attempted to improve regenerative endodontics with the help of stem cell therapy. In vitro studies have shown the ability of different agents to stimulate the differentiation of dental pulp stem cells (DPSC) into odontoblast-like cells. A combination of dexamethasone, β-glycerophosphate and Vitamin D has been proven to induce a successful differentiation.
