Sealing effectiveness of materials used in furcation perforation in vitro

Abstract

MTA alone or Vitremer in combination with a collagen sponge can be used effectively in the treatment of perforations in a furcation area.

Sealing ability of mineral trioxide aggregate, glass ionomer cement and composite resin when repairing large furcal perforations

“…39,40 Glass-ionomer cement was found to be superior compared with composite resin, amalgam, temporary dental restorative material (Cavit W) and tricalcium phosphate when used in furcation perforation repair in previous studies. 2,6,8,19,41 However, when the MTA cement was introduced, it showed increased resistance to leakage in furcal perforations compared with glass-ionomer cement. 9,23 A similar trend was seen in the present study, but the difference between the MTAs and the glass ionomer cements was not statistically significant.…”

“…Glass ionomer cements are used in surgical endodontics 10,17 and they have been advocated for use as a perforation repair material as well. One advantage is its adhesiveness to dentine, and several studies demonstrate its good sealing ability both in vitro 2,6,8,[18][19][20] and in vivo. 21,22 However, other studies have shown that resin modified glass ionomer cement showed more microleakage and less sealing ability compared to MTA cement.…”

“…1 Factors that affect treatment prognosis of perforation repair include the level, location and size of the perforation, the time delay before perforation repair and the material used to seal the perforation. 2 Biocompatible materials with a short setting time and good sealability should be selected. 1 The location of the perforation is of crucial importance.…”

Effect of Bioaggregate on Mineral-associated Gene Expression in Osteoblast Cells

“…Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) (Dentsply, Tulsa, OK), which was first introduced as a root-end filling material by Torabinejad et al (4) in 1993, has been widely used in endodontic therapy (5). Compared with other root-end filling materials, MTA displays significant advantages in terms of its biocompatibility and osteoconduction ability (1,(6)(7)(8)(9). Now MTA is considered as gold standard repair material for several clinical applications including the repair of perforation, root-end filling, the repair of root resorption, apexification, and pulp capping.…”

Pulpotomy; Assessment of Clinical Outcome in Mature Permanent Teeth Using Mineral Trioxide Aggregate

“…In recent era, Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has taken attention in pulpotomy of mature permanent tooth because of its excellent sealing ability 4 , biocompatibility 5 , dentin bridge formation 6,7 properties. Few studies were performed regarding the clinical and radiographic evaluation of MTA as a pulpotomy agent in mature permanent teeth with irreversible pulpitis, stating that the probability of survival without any other intervention after MTA pulpotomy in mature permanent teeth is around 82% 8 and 100%.…”
