The Effect of Blood Contamination on the Chemical Characterization of Hydrated Mineral Trioxide Aggregates and Their Dentin-Interface: A Comparative Study
Abstract:The presence of blood contamination could affect the chemical characterization of mineral trioxide aggregates as endodontic repair material during surgical approach. The aim of this study was to assess and compare the chemical characterization of two white mineral trioxide aggregates (ProRoot and Angelus) mixed with blood versus water. ProRoot and Angelus were mixed with either distilled water, fresh human blood, or diluted blood and analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The same materials we… Show more
