Systemic bone marker expression induced by grey and white mineral trioxide aggregate in normal and diabetic conditions

ConclusionBoth MTA materials were associated with an increase in serum calcium, phosphorus and ALP, suggesting a potential systemic effect, along with triggered differentiation of OCN‐ and OPN‐positive cells. Moreover, in diabetic conditions, an inhibitory effect on MTA‐induced differentiation of OCN‐ and OPN‐positive cells was detected.
