Use of Biomaterials in Periradicular Surgery: A Case Report

Evaluation of 4 different bone graft substitutes and autogenous bone grafting in root-end resection osteotomies after retrograde root-filling with Intermediate Restorative Material (IRM): An experimental study in dogs

“…This difference could have affected the present study outcome, if MTA would have been used as the retrograde filling material. This is in line with a study from Favieri and co-workers who reported that the use of MTA in combination bone-substitute in large bony defect can benefit the healing outcome [21]. The mean distance between the root-end filler and the bone among the groups (Table 1), thus the size of the zone without hard tissue seems not to depend on whether the resection defect has been filled or not.…”

Mineral Trioxide Aggregate: A Comprehensive Literature Review—Part III: Clinical Applications, Drawbacks, and Mechanism of Action

“…Case Reports. In a 2-year case report, Favieri et al (113) demonstrated a successful outcome for a maxillary lateral incisor with buccal cortical bone perforation treated with MTA as a root-end filling in combination with calcium sulfate and lyophilized bone as osteoconductive and osteoinductive materials.…”

MTA as Apical Filling Material In Internal Resorption

“…However not so favourable results were seen when these perforatons were sealed after 7 days. Favieri et al [16] reported that MTA is a material that induces osteogenesis , being indicated as a retrograde filling material due to its excellent marginal sealing and due to the fact that it stimulates the osteoblasts adherence.…”
