Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate treatment outcomes of the apical barrier technique with premixed calcium silicate-based putty for treating necrotic permanent teeth with open apices and to identify prognostic factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Permanent teeth with necrotic pulps and open apices treated by the apical barrier technique with premixed calcium silicate-based putty, with a minimum follow-up of 12 months, were included. Treatment outcomes were based on clinical signs, symptoms, and radiographic evaluation. The treatment outcome was dichotomized into success or failure according to strict and loose criteria. The chi-square test (or Fisher's exact test) and multiple logistic regression analysis were used to evaluate possible prognostic factors associated with treatment outcomes. RESULTS Seventy-four teeth with a follow-up time of 12-72 months (mean, 25.74 ± 14.36 months) were included in the final evaluation. The success rate was 97.30% using the loose criteria and 66.22% using the strict criteria. Multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that the size of pre-operative periapical lesion (≥ 5 mm) (odds ratio [OR]: 18.96; P = 0.0153) and root canal underfilling (OR: 8.341; P = 0.0448) were significant predictors for treatment failure under the strict criteria. CONCLUSION The apical barrier technique with premixed calcium silicate-based putty is a highly successful procedure for treating necrotic permanent teeth with open apices after an observation period of up to 6 years. Treatment success under the strict criteria is primarily affected by the size of the pre-operative periapical lesion and the apical extent of root-filling. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Careful case selection and ensuring adequate root filling quality are essential to the successful outcome of the apical barrier technique with premixed calcium silicate-based putty.

Abstract
Cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) exhibit excellent mechanical properties and are used to reinforce various composites. The effects of incorporating CNFs into commercial mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) cements (NEX MTA (NEX) and ProRoot® MTA (PR)) on the underwater setting properties, compressive strength, and flowability were estimated in this study. NEX mixed without CNFs disintegrated after water immersion. NEX mixed with CNF-suspended solutions showed good setting properties under water immersion and a similar compressive strength, which was kept in air (100% relative humidity). PR did not degrade after water immersion, regardless of the presence of CNFs, and no significant difference in the compressive strength caused by CNFs incorporation was detected. The relative flowability of the NEX mixture decreased with increasing CNFs content up to 1.0 w/v%. The application of CNF-incorporated MTA in various dental cases is promising because CNFs prevent the water-immersion-dependent collapse of some MTA cements immediately after mixing.

BMC Oral Health 2023; 23:1026. [PMID: 38114967 PMCID: PMC10731764 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-023-03372-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2023] [Accepted: 08/30/2023] [Indexed: 12/21/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative pain has remained a challenge for clinicians. This randomized superiority trial compared the levels of postoperative pain following the use of gutta-percha (GP) and sealer or mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) as root canal filling materials in teeth with asymptomatic apical periodontitis. METHODS A total of 119 patients were initially evaluated in this two-arm, parallel-group, single-blind, superiority randomized trial. The inclusion criteria were participants aged 18-65 years with single-canal premolars diagnosed with asymptomatic apical periodontitis. The participants were finally divided into two groups using the permuted block randomization method. In the GP group (N = 46), the cleaned and shaped root canals were filled with gutta-percha and AH Plus sealer, while in the MTA group (N = 48), the cleaned and shaped root canals were filled with an MTA apical filling and a coronal gutta-percha and sealer. Patient pain level was measured 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h postoperatively using a 10-point visual analog scale (VAS). The data were analyzed by the chi-square, independent t, Friedman, and Mann-Whitney U tests. RESULTS The mean of VAS scores decreased significantly over time in both groups (P < 0.001). The mean VAS scores were significantly lower in the MTA filling group than in the other group (P < 0.05). Female patients reported higher VAS scores at 6- and 12-hour periods in both groups (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION MTA as a root canal filling material might be a valuable option for clinicians due to its low postoperative pain. TRIAL REGISTRATION The trial protocol was registered at the Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT20191104045331N1).

Abstract
Pulp treatment is extremely common in endodontics, with the main purpose of eliminating clinical symptoms and preserving tooth physiological function. However, the effect of dental pulp treatment is closely related to the methods and materials used in the process of treatment. Plenty of studies about calcium silicate-based bioceramics which are widely applied in various endodontic operations have been reported because of their significant biocompatibility and bioactivity. Although most of these materials have superior physical and chemical properties, the differences between them can also have an impact on the success rate of different clinical practices. Therefore, this review is focused on the applications of several common calcium silicate-based bioceramics, including Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), Biodentine, Bioaggregate, iRoot BP Plus in usual endodontic treatment, such as dental pulp capping, root perforation repair, regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs), apexification, root-end filling and root canal treatment (RCT). Besides, the efficacy of these bioceramics mentioned above in human trials is also compared, which aims to provide clinical guidance for their clinical application in endodontics.

Abstract
Calcium silicate-based materials are hydrophilic materials with biocompatibility and bioactivity properties. Despite many advantages, they might present some problems related to discolouration, setting time, manipulation and solubility depending on the composition of the product and the type of clinical application. Calcium silicate-based materials can be evaluated under two types according to their intended use: calcium silicate-based cements (CSCs) and calcium silicate-based sealers (CSSs). CSCs can be used in many endodontic procedures including perforation repair, resorption repair, apical barriers, guided endodontic repair, vital pulp treatment, endodontic surgery, root fractures and root canal filling as a core obturation material. CSSs are available for use with gutta-percha to obturate root canals using cold and warm techniques, including the sealer-based obturation technique. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the available literature on CSCs and CSSs and to provide up-to-date information and recommendations for their clinical applications.
