Fracture resistance of simulated immature teeth after internal bleaching procedures
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the fracture resistance of simulated immature teeth after internal bleaching. The teeth were assigned as follows (n = 12/group); Group‐1: The pulp chamber was filled with ProRootMTA and bleached intracoronally with sodium perborate mixed with 37% carbamide peroxide gel; Group‐2: The pulp chamber was filled with ProRootMTA without bleaching; Group‐3: The pulp chamber was filled with Biodentine and bleached intracoronally as Group‐1; Group‐4: The pulp chamber was filled with Biodentine without bleaching; and Group‐5: Teeth received no intervention (control). The spec...

A comparative in vitro study of different techniques for removal of fibre posts from root canals
This study evaluates the effectiveness of different techniques to remove fibre posts from root filled teeth in vitro. One hundred and fifty‐three extracted single‐rooted teeth were decoronated, root‐canal treated and divided into three groups (n = 51). Post spaces were prepared for different types of fibre posts: glass fibre, quartz fibre, carbon fibre. Each group was divided into three subgroups with regard to the post removal technique (n = 17): SonicFlex Endo, long‐shaft round bur, DT‐Post removal kit. Residual material, loss of dentine, working time and procedural errors were assessed using computed tomograph...

Effect of blood contamination on the compressive strength of three calcium silicate ‐based cements
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of human blood exposure on the compressive strength of various calcium silicate‐based cements. Two hundred and eighty‐eight customised cylindrical moulds were randomly divided into three groups according to material used: ProRoot MTA, Biodentine or CEM cement (n = 96). Each group was divided into two subgroups according to exposure conditions: PBS or blood. Then, the compressive strength of the specimens was measured after 6 h, 24 h, 72 h and 7 days. The compressive strength of CEM cement could not be measured after 6 and 24‏ h regardless of the expo...

Crystalline phases involved in the hydration of calcium silicate ‐based cements: Semi‐quantitative Rietveld X‐ray diffraction analysis
This study aimed to evaluate and compare these changes in ProRoot MTA, Biodentine and CEM cement. Powder and hydrated forms of tooth coloured ProRoot MTA, Biodentine and CEM cement were subjected to X‐ray diffraction (XRD) analysis with Rietveld refinement to semi‐quantitatively identify and quantify the main phases involved in their hydration process. Data were reported descriptively. Reduction in Ca3SiO5 and formation of Ca(OH)2 were seen after the hydration of ProRoot MTA and Biodentine; however, in the case of CEM cement, no reduction of Ca3SiO5 and no formation of Ca(OH)2 were detected. The highest percentages of ...

Clinical and histological responses of human dental pulp to MTA and combined MTA/treated dentin matrix in partial pulpotomy
Abstract The aim of this study was to compare the responses of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and combined MTA/treated dentin matrix (TDM) as direct pulp capping material. In this clinical trial study, 33 intact third molars in 11 healthy volunteers (three molars in each) were included. Partial pulpotomies were performed in a split mouth manner in two of the third molars in each patient randomly and the third tooth had used as TDM source. The coronal dentin was chopped to dentine chips and transformed to TDM using different concentrations of ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) solution. Pulps were directly capped by...
