Influence of White versus Gray Mineral Trioxide Aggregate on Inflammatory Cells

Biocompatibility of New Calcium Aluminate Cement (EndoBinder)

“…Although this calcium ion release promoted by MTA contributes to making the medium inhospitable to bacterial growth (40), its high concentration after hydration might contribute to fibrosis of the adjacent tissues (41). However, this event was not observed for GMTA in this study, because only discrete fibroangioblastic proliferation was observed on conclusion of 42 days of analysis.…”

Effect of White Mineral Trioxide Aggregate Mixed With Disodium Hydrogen Phosphate on Inflammatory Cells

“…Initial moderate to severe inflammatory cell reaction has been reported 7 days after subcutaneous implantation. This reaction subsides after this period (6,7). The setting time of MTA has been reported to be more than 2 hours (1,11).…”

Scanning Electron Micrograph and Surface Hardness of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate in the Presence of Alkaline pH

“…MTA has excellent short-and long-term biocompatibility and has been used for vital pulp therapy and repair of furcal and lateral perforations that are isolated from the oral environment, as a root-end filling material during apical surgery, and as an apical plug in open apex nonvital teeth (2).…”
