INTRODUCTION: An ideal orthograde or retrograde filling material should seal the pathways
of communication between the root canal system and its surrounding tissues. It should also …

AIM: This was to carry out a review of the literature concerning mineral trioxide aggregate
(MTA) and Portland cement with regards to clinical, biological and mechanical findings and …

INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to compare the sealability of three different
commercial types of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and calcium enrichment mixture …

This study assessed the ability of Portland cement, white Angelus–mineral trioxide
aggregate (MTA), and MTA Bio to seal furcal perforations in extracted human molar teeth …

INTRODUCTION: Important limitations of mineral trioxide aggregate for use in clinical
procedures are extended setting time and difficult handling characteristics. The removal of …

Inadequate apical seal is the major cause of surgical endodontic failure. The root-end filling
material used should prevent egress of potential contaminants into periapical tissue. The …

The use of a suitable substance that prevents egress of potential contaminants into the
periapical tissues is important in endodontic surgery. The aim of the present study was to …

Introduction Insufficient apical seal is the significant reason for surgical endodontic
disappointment. The root-end filling material utilized should avoid egress of potential …

Methylene blue (MB) remains the most frequently used tracer for dye penetration tests of
endodontic fillings, despite its chemical reactions with different materials. This study checked …

Introduction: Broken instruments in root canals complicate routine endodontic treatment.
This study aimed to compare apical microleakage in root canals containing broken rotary …
