Evaluation of mineral trioxide aggregate as root canal sealer: A clinical study

Abstract: Aim: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.Materials and Methods: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 … Show more

“…A priori sample size calculation was done using G*Power 3.1.2 software based on a previously published study (12). Using a one-way ANOVA xed effects omnibus model (α = 0.05, 1-ß = 0.95, f = 0.05), the minimum sample size calculated was 18 per group.…”

“…MTA has been reported to possess good biocompatibility and bioactivity, for which it popular used in pulp capping, pulpotomy, apexification, and as root end filling material. [ 12 ] Moreover, it can promote the formation of alveolar bone and cementum and the reconstruction of periodontal ligament for its osteogenic induction. Furthermore, recent studies proved that MTA exhibited antibacterial activity, which have a crucial influence on the success of root canal treatment.…”

“…Postoperative pain is considered to be another significant clinical outcome exhibiting a multifactorial response to treatment related factors such as maintaining the working length to the apical constriction, finishing the endodontic treatment in single visit or multiple visit, instrumentation technique and the type of endodontic sealer used for obturation ( 7 ). Postoperative pain usually ranges from 3% to 58% based on the individual’s pain perseverance and stimulus ( 9 ). Such pain occurrence is mainly due to mechanical, chemical or microbial injury to the periapical tissues.…”
