Dentist: Richard Rubinstein Practice location: Farmington, Hills, MI Type of practice: Endodontic This patient was referred for apical microsurgery on a premolar (Figure 1): Figure 1: Pre-operative radiograph showing a radiolucency on the premolar and the sinus tract. After anesthesia was established, I brought the surgical operating microscope into the field and made a full-thickness freegingival margin flap to create […]...
ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: Bioceramic materials have shown biologic and physical properties favorable for regenerative treatment. A key to treatment success is an adequate restoration to prevent microleakage; however, research is limited regarding the bond strength between restorative and bioceramic materials used in regenerative procedures. This study compared the bond strength between 4 bioceramic materials and a […]...
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the microleakage of apical plugs made of four different materials in simulated immature teeth. METHODS Ninety extracted single-rooted teeth were selected and randomly divided into six groups according to the materials used: NeoMTA, EndoSequence Bioceramic Root Repair Material Fast Set Putty (BC RRMFS), Biodentine, Endo Repair, […]...
PURPOSE This study aims to compare the bone tissue reaction, setting time, solubility, and pH of NeoMTA Plus, Biodentine (BD), and MTA Angelus (MTA-A). METHODS Initial and final setting times (n = 7) and solubility up to 7 days (n = 11) were evaluated in accordance with ASTM C266–15 and ANSI/ADA Specification No. 57, respectively. pH (n = 10) was measured […]...
