Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has recently received much attention as a substitute for calcium hydroxide-based materials, and has demonstrated promising clinical outcomes. MTA has been reported to have desirable properties such as biocompatibility, fibroblast stimulation, antimicrobial activity and sealing capacity, with an ability to set in a moist environment1. It has thus been proposed as a material suitable for a ‘one-visit’ treatment of teeth with open apices by creating an apical MTA plug, compared with the long-term apexification using multiple calcium hydroxide dressings. This has some drawbacks, such as prolonged duration of treatment with multiple visits and increased risk of tooth fracture2. An MTA/distilled water mixture, however, does not exhibit all properties of a good root canal-filling material, especially beThe orthograde intracanal placement of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) in the treatment of root canals with an open apex is technique sensitive, primarily b...

Sealing properties of mineral trioxide aggregate orthograde apical plugs and root fillings in an in vitro apexification model2007 •
One-visit mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) apexification is gaining in popularity over the use of calcium hydroxide barriers. This study examined the sealing properties of two MTA apexification procedures using an in vitro apexification model. White MTA was introduced into instrumented single-rooted canals with standardized artificially created open apices to form 3- to 5-mm-thick orthograde apical plugs or complete orthograde fillings of the root segments. The remaining canal spaces in the former group were backfilled with thermoplasticized gutta-percha without a sealer. A Flodec fluid filtration device was used to record fluid flow across filled root canals at 48 hours and after 4 weeks of immersion in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Although MTA root fillings exhibited a better seal than MTA apical plugs at 48 hours, seals of these two groups were not significantly different after 4 weeks. Interaction of MTA with PBS may result in apatite deposition that improves the seal of MTA...

Evaluation of mineral trioxide aggregate as root canal sealer: A clinical study2013 •
The aim of this study was to compare the clinical and radiological outcome of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) or epoxy resin as a root canal sealer compared with zinc oxide eugenol sealer. 45 single rooted teeth with periapical index Score 2 or more were allotted to three groups with 15 teeth in each group. Root canal treatment was performed in two visits and obturated with Gutta-percha as obturating material and zinc oxide eugenol as sealer in Group 1, epoxy resin as sealer in Group 2 and MTA mixed with propylene glycol as sealer in Group 3. Visual analog scale, periapical index and VixWin digital Pro image analysis software were used for evaluation. The quantitative data was analyzed by t-test and analysis of variance. Ordinal data was analyzed by Wilcoxon's signed rank test, Mann-Whitney and Kruskall-Wallis test. Results suggested that there exists no statistically significant difference in clinical or radiological outcome of root canal therapy with three different types of ...

Mineral trioxide aggregate as material of choice in endodontic therapy2011 •
Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is a material with broad indications in endodontics. Currently, this material is used for pulp capping, pulpotomy, as apical barrier in teeth with necrotic pulp and open apex, and in the treatment of various root canal perforations. By comparing the biological response of pulp tissue capped with calcium hydroxide and MTA, the superiority of MTA has been indicated. The bridge of hard tissue formed under MTA prevented the irritation of pulp. Histological studies of pulpotomy in dog teeth have shown after 120 days a hard tissue without necrosis formed under MTA. MTA is also the material of choice for retrograde root canal obturation and lateral perforation. Meta analysis of published papers on MTA in recent years indicated the great clinical success of this material which ensured a good canal seal and superior biocompatibility. It is the only material for retrograde root canal obturation that encourages tissue regeneration. Studies have also shown that ...

Healing process following application of set or fresh mineral trioxide aggregate as a root-end filling material2011 •
An unsuccessful attempt to reach the apical area or to place the retrograde material is a major difficulty in periradicular surgery. The aim of this study was to compare the histological evaluation of the healing process following an orthograde versus a retrograde application of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) as a root-end filling material during apical surgery on cats' teeth in order to find out whether orthograde placement of MTA before surgery can be used instead of retrograde placement during surgery. In this experimental study, 24 canine teeth in 12 mature and healthy cats were filled with either MTA or gutta-percha in an orthograde manner. Two weeks later, the teeth with MTA were surgically exposed and resected to the set-MTA within the canals. The teeth previously filled by gutta-percha were also surgically exposed, and retrograde cavities were prepared at the root ends and filled with fresh-MTA. After 8 weeks, the animals were euthanized by vital perfusion. Six-micron ...

Mineral Trioxide Aggregate Versus Biodentine as Retrograde Filling Material- a Clinical Review2017 •
2019 •
Internal resorption is a chronic inflammatory process results in the loss of dentin. It begins centrally within the pulp space and results from clastic cells which trigger a progressive resorption phenomenon.An early diagnosis of internal resorption is required to institute the endodontic treatment as soon as possible, before the process compromises mineralized structures of the tooth. Apexification is the treatment of choice for necrotic teeth with immature apex. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) was introduced as an alternative material, for the apexification of immature permanent teeth, to traditional materials which account certain difficulties like very long treatment time, possibility of tooth fracture and incomplete calcification of the bridge.This case report presents successful management of a case with an internal resorption, at the cervical third of the root in the right permanent central incisor which is associated with immature apex using MTA followed by obturation with biorootrcs sealer.

Sealing ability of mineral trioxide aggregate and Biodentine as the root end filling material, using two different retro preparation techniques - An in vitro study2015 •
Aim: The purpose of this study is compare sealing ability of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Biodentine as root end filling material, and also to compare the effect of different retro preparation techniques i.e. conventional bur v/s ultrasonic tips on sealing ability of both the root end filling materials. Materials and Methods: Totally, 40 extracted human single rooted teeth were decoronated, and root canal treatment was performed. Teeth were stored in saline for 1 week. Following which, root ends were apically resected at 90° angle to a long axis of the root and prepared. The samples were randomly divided into two groups of 20 specimens each. Group I: MTA, Group II: Biodentine as the root end filling. Each group was subdivided as A - round bur preparation and B - ultrasonic tip root end preparation. Samples were stored in saline for 48 h and then immersed in 0.5% rhodamine B dye for 24 h, sectioned and evaluated for leakage under confocal laser scanning microscope. Results: S...
