An Investigation of the Sealing Ability of Biodentine and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate as Retrofilling Materials after the use of Various Irrigating Solutions.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess the sealing ability of Biodentine (BD) and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) as retrograde filling materials after irrigation with 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and QMix irrigating solutions.

Materials And Methods: Decoronation of 48 permanent maxillary central incisors was done. Root canal instrumentation was carried out in the samples.

An Comparison of Coconut Water, Milk, and Saline in Maintaining Periodontal Ligament Cell Viability.

Background And Objectives: Two of the most critical factors affecting the prognosis of an avulsed tooth after replantation are extraoral dry time and the storage media in which the tooth is placed before treatment is rendered. The present study is undertaken to evaluate the periodontal ligament (PDL) cell viability after storage of teeth in different storage media, namely, coconut water, milk, and saline.

Materials And Methods: Forty sound human premolars undergoing extraction for orthodontic purpose were selected.
