Abstract
Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has been found to be very biocompatible in a large number of studies. However, the handling properties can be challenging and research on modified materials to enhance placement are few. The purpose of this study is to compare a new faster setting, and more easily placed preparation with classic MTA in an animal model. Canine premolar teeth from two dogs were randomized and received quadrant surgery timed to allow 50 day and 98 day comparisons. Histologic and radiographic comparisons were made. Results were essentially equal in healing, even close to the materials.
Highlights
Torabinejad introduced mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) as a highly biocompatible agent for pulp wounds and apical retrofills [1]
In a recent trio of review articles, he and Parirokh presented an excellent review of the literature on MTA [2-4]
They noted the lack of research regarding new forms of MTA [4]
Summary
Torabinejad introduced mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) as a highly biocompatible agent for pulp wounds and apical retrofills [1]. A recent prospective study of 339 retro filling surgeries by von Arx found
