Mineral Trioxide Aggregate as Repair Material for Furcal Perforation: Case Series

Microleakage Evaluation of Modified Mineral Trioxide Aggregate Effect Toward Marginal Adaptation on Cervical Dentin Perforation

“…Among the various available materials to seal perforations, MTA is the optimal choice for the procedure due to its biocompatibility, great sealing ability and adaptation to the dentinal wall, high pH, and ability to release calcium ions [2][3][4]. MTA applications can also induce hard tissue formation (dentin, cementum, and bone) and can facilitate periodontal tissue regeneration [2][3][4][5]. Pace et al reported that 90% of perforation treatments using MTAs show periodontal and bone healing after 6 months, visible through the decrease in radiolucency in X-ray photos [5].…”

Pace et al reported that 90% of perforation treatments using MTAs show periodontal and bone healing after 6 months, visible through the decrease in radiolucency in X-ray photos [5]. The material is not without disadvantages; however, namely, discoloration, lengthy setting times, and difficulty in handling [2,4].…”

The clinical evaluation of vertical root fracture after endodontic treatment with mineral trioxide aggregate

“…As much as possible removal of the infected dentin is related to also lead to the strengthening of the MTA Biocompatibility of MTA for periodontal tissue has been reported and has been considered sufficient for use in soft tissue in procedures such as intentional replantation, retro-filling in root surgery, and repair of the perforation. MTA is a bioactive silicate cement is nonirritating to periapical tissue and also induces and also induces the regeneration of cementum and the PDL [30][31][32][33]. MTA can stimulate hard tissue deposition when used as a root-end filling materials [34].…”

Current strategy for successful periradicular surgery

“…In addition, many studies reported that it is biocompatible and induces osteogenesis and odontogenesis (58)(59)(60)(61)(62). Thus, MTA would appear to be a most promising material for use in a variety of clinical applications, including vital pulp treatments, apical filling of teeth with open apices, apexification, repair of root, furcal perforations, and rootend filling (63)(64)(65)(66)(67)(68)(69). However, prolonged setting time and difficulties in manipulation are major disadvantages of MTA (70,71).…”
