The Effect of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate on the Contractility of the Rat Thoracic Aorta

Histological evaluation of direct pulp capping with all-in-one adhesives in rat teeth

“…From the results of this study, MTA controls demonstrated excellent efficacy for hard tissue formation, as shown in several previous studies [33][34][35] . Min et al 33) reported that MTA was superior to calcium hydroxide in terms of DBF during the early wound healing process and that the superiority of MTA was associated with the expression of a cytoprotective molecule, hemeoxygenase (HO)-1, in human dental pulp.…”

“…Furthermore, it has been reported that MTA induced dose-dependent contractions in the rat thoracic aorta; this property of MTA may allow appropriate control of hemorrhage, which is important in the success of direct pulp capping 35) . In our study of a series of direct pulp capping procedures, we applied the AD gel (10% NaOCl gel) to the exposed pulp surface to control hemorrhage, following three alternating irrigations using both 3% H 2O2 and 6% NaOCl solutions to remove the AD gel and dentin chips.…”

Mineral Trioxide Aggregate: A Comprehensive Literature Review—Part II: Leakage and Biocompatibility Investigations

“…Two different models have evaluated the effect of MTA on vascular tissues (132,133). One investigation on rabbit ear chambers evaluated the effect of MTA on microcirculation (132).…”

Vasodilatory Effect of Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate and Triethylene Glycol Dimethacrylate in Rat Aorta through Calcium Antagonistic Action

“…Rat aorta is a well-characterized tissue model for assessing the effects of dental bonding resins on vascular reactivity because behavior of pulpal vessels in response to various known vasoactive agents is similar to this tissue as with other widely studied tissues (11,17,22). Therefore, at initial stages of investigation, the use of rat aorta is considered relevant.…”
