“…Sealing the perforation defect is an important step in limiting bacterial contamination [1]. 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].…”

Objective: To analyze the marginal adaptation of conventional MTA (ProRoot®MTA) and modified MTA (MTA Flow™) on perforated dentin.Methods: Forty specimens of human's premolar teeth with lateral perforations were sealed by conventional MTA (n=20) and modified MTA (n=20). After 24 hours, the specimens were immersed in Indian ink for 24 hours, then embedded in resin and sectioned longitudinally in mesial-distal direction. The score of microleakage was determined using stereo microscope (SteREO Discovery. V12, Carl Zeiss) with 20x magnification. Statistical analysis was done by Chi Square (p<0,05).Results: Less microleakage score (0,5-1mm) was detected in modified MTA (25%) compared to conventional MTA (45%), although not statistically significant. Conclusion:Microleakage were detected in both conventional and modified MTA as material for cervical dentin perforation treatment, although modified-MTA group showed less microleakage score.

“…Although literature shows that MTA is successful when used in various scenarios in restorative dentistry and endodontics, in Australia and New Zealand, this material is not used frequently in clinical practice (11). The results of the present study show that clinicians working with paediatric dental patients use a range of materials for pulp capping and pulpotomy procedures, with MTA not being used frequently for pulp capping and pulpotomy despite its suitability for these procedures.…”

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the restorative choices for pulpal therapy by members of the Australian and New Zealand Society of Paediatric Dentistry (ANZSPD). Methods: Members of the ANZSPD were sent an online survey asking about the procedures that they performed and their choice of dental materials. Results: The respondents were 31 general dentists (GD) and 55 specialist paediatric dentists (PD). Materials used for indirect pulp capping included calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH) 2 ] cement (CHC), glass ionomer cement or resin-modified glass ionomer cement (GIC/RMGIC), Ca(OH) 2 paste (CHP) and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). Materials for direct pulp capping included MTA, CHP and CHC. Materials and techniques used for pulpotomy included MTA, ferric sulphate, formocresol and diathermy, CHP and CHC. GD and PD were similar in their choice of materials. However, there was no preferred product for pulp therapy. Most GD learnt how to use MTA from CPD lectures, while some PD learnt how to use MTA from their postgraduate training as well as CPD lectures. Many GD and PD did not have hands-on training from their education on how to use MTA (GD: 80%, PD: 43%). Most would like to attend hands-on MTA courses (GD: 86%, PD: 65%). Conclusion: There was no clear preferred product for the various types of pulp therapy in paediatric dentistry. Education appears to be the major barrier to the use of MTA rather than the cost of MTA.

“…On the other hand, it was claimed that residual calcium hydroxide may affect negatively in the adaptation of MTA to the dentinal wall. This results in reduced sealing ability, which occurs either by a mechanical obstacle of CaOH2 particle or by chemically reaction with MTA (Srinivasan V et al 2009). The results from this survey revealed that only 26.3% of subjects stated that MTA didn't interfere with restorative materials.…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge of the mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) properties among internship students in Riyadh city, Saudi Arabia. Methods: A standardized questionnaire comprised 14 multiple-choice questions about MTAproperties distributed to internship students in Riyadh city,Saudi Arabia. These questions contained types of MTA material, mechanical, chemical, physical properties of MTA, marginal adaptation and sealing ability, antibacterial properties, reaction with other dental materials, biocompatibility, and clinical performance. Data was coded computerized and analyzed using methods of descriptive statistics. Results: The respondents of this questionnaire were 195 subjects. 51.5% of subjects confirmed that MTA sets in the presence of water. 69.4% of respondents confirmed that MTA is available as white and grey. Majority of subjects asserted the sealing ability (89.5%) and antibacterial effects (71.6%) of MTA material. The vast majority don't know the mixing time (50.6%), and pH of MTA (52%). Conclusion: It has been observed an average knowledge about mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) , an increased knowledge about sealing ability and anti-bacterial effects , and poor knowledge about manipulation of MTA material amongst internship students .
