Abboud KM, Abu-Seida AM, Hassanien EE, Tawfik HM. Biocompatibility of NeoMTA Plus® versus MTA Angelus as delayed furcation perforation repair materials in a dog model. BMC Oral Health 2021; 21:192. [PMID: 33849516 PMCID: PMC8045287 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-021-01552-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2021] [Accepted: 04/07/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The biocompatibility of NeoMTA Plus® (Avlon BioMed Inc., Bradenton, Fl) as a furcal perforation repair material is not fully understood. This study compares the biocompatibility of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA Angelus) and NeoMTA Plus® as delayed furcation perforation repair materials. METHODS Pulpotomy and root canal obturation were performed in 72 premolars in six mongrel dogs and then a standardized furcal perforation was performed. The coronal access was left open for three weeks. After curetting, cleaning and drying of the perforations, these teeth were divided into three equal groups (N = 24 teeth/ 2 dogs each) according to the material used for perforation repair; group I: NeoMTA Plus®, group II: MTA Angelus and group III: no material (positive control). The coronal access cavities were sealed with a filling material. The inflammatory cell count and qualitative pathology (presence of calcific bridge, configuration of fibrous tissue formed, examination of tissue surrounding the furcation area, histology of intraradicular bone and the inflammatory nature of tissues) were carried out after one week (subgroup A, N = 8 teeth), one month (subgroup B, N = 8 teeth) and three months (subgroup C, N = 8 teeth). The inflammatory cell count was expressed as mean ± SD and statistically analyzed. P-value < 0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS In all subgroups, the control group exhibited the highest number of inflammatory cell count, followed by MTA Angelus group and the least inflammatory cell count was shown by NeoMTA Plus® group. There was a significant difference in the inflammatory cell count between the NeoMTA Plus® and MTA Angelus after one week (P < 0.05) while no significant differences were recorded between them after one month and three months (P > 0.05). In contrast to group II, there was no significant differences in inflammatory cell count between the subgroups in groups I and III (P > 0.05). NeoMTA Plus® exhibited better qualitative pathological features than MTA Angelus after one week and nearly similar features after one month and three months of repair. CONCLUSION NeoMTA Plus® has a better early biocompatibility than MTA Angelus after one week of delayed furcation perforation repair and a similar late biocompatibility after one month and three months.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A novel 2-part varnish system containing chitosan nanoparticles (part 1) and chitosan-grafted hydroxyapatite precursor nanocomplex (part 2) was developed to condition the root-end dentin using the principle of biomineralization while rendering both antimicrobial efficacy and bioactivity. This in vitro study aimed to characterize and assess the effectiveness of the chitosan nanoparticles and chitosan-grafted hydroxyapatite precursor nanocomplex containing self-mineralizing antibacterial tissue repair varnish to condition as well as seal root-end dentin during endodontic microsurgery. METHODS In phase 1, the antibacterial properties and cellular response of the varnish were characterized. The antibacterial activity and cellular responses were evaluated using Enterococcus faecalis and periodontal ligament (PDL) fibroblasts, respectively. In phase 2, a resected root-end model was used to apply the 2-part varnish and examine the dentin-varnish interface using transmission electron microscopy. The percentage of root end sealed with time was determined using scanning electron microscopy (n = 6/time point). Statistical analysis was performed using 1-way analysis of variance where applicable. RESULTS The part 1 and 2 of the varnish displayed significant antibacterial activity and reduced bacterial adherence/survival (P < .01). The attachment and spreading of PDL fibroblasts on the varnish-conditioned dentin was enhanced compared with unconditioned dentin (P < .01). In the resected root-end model, the 2-part varnish displayed a biomineralized varnish layer with close interaction with the subsurface dentin. Root-end coverage with the biomineralized layer increased with incubation time (P < .01), reaching approximately 95% coverage after 24 hours. CONCLUSIONS The 2-part varnish system effectively conditioned/sealed the root end with a biomineralized layer while reducing bacterial load and promoting PDL fibroblast attachment. This therapeutic modification of root-end dentin could provide optimal conditions to enhance healing and improve prognosis in teeth with root-end cracks after endodontic microsurgery.

Assessment of apical seal obtained after irrigation of root end cavity with MTAD followed by subsequent retrofilling with MTA and Biodentine: An in vitro study. J Conserv Dent 2015; 18:132-5. [PMID: 25829692 PMCID: PMC4379653 DOI: 10.4103/0972-0707.153068] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2014] [Revised: 12/21/2014] [Accepted: 01/10/2015] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction: The present study is designed to assess the apical seal obtained after root end cavity irrigation with MTAD and retrograde filling with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Biodentine. Materials and Methods: Sixty extracted maxillary central incisors were instrumented and obturated. Apical 3 mm of all the roots were resected and retrograde preparations of 3 mm were made in all the teeth using ultrasonic tips. Thirty root end preparations were irrigated with MTAD for 5 min (Group 1), while 30 were irrigated with saline for 5 min (Group 2). Each main group was subdivided into two subgroups containing 15 samples each. Samples under each subgroup were then filled either with MTA (1A and 2A) or Biodentine (1B and 2B). The amount of microleakage was assessed using a UV spectrophotometer. Results: Statistical analysis suggest a significant difference (P < 0.005) between group 1A and 2A and between the groups 1B and 2B (P < 0.1). There was a significant difference (P < 0.005) between group 1A and 1B and also between group 2A and 2B. Conclusion: Irrigation with MTAD significantly improved the apical seal of Biodentine, but it increased the microleakage in MTA-filled root end cavities. Also the apical seal obtained with Biodentine was superior to that obtained with MTA.

Healing after root-end microsurgery by using mineral trioxide aggregate and a new calcium silicate-based bioceramic material as root-end filling materials in dogs. J Endod 2015; 41:389-99. [PMID: 25596728 DOI: 10.1016/j.joen.2014.11.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 79] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2014] [Revised: 09/28/2014] [Accepted: 11/04/2014] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to compare healing after root-end surgery by using grey mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and EndoSequence Root Repair Material (RRM) as root-end filling material in an animal model. METHODS Apical periodontitis was induced in 55 mandibular premolars of 4 healthy beagle dogs. After 6 weeks, root-end surgeries were performed by using modern microsurgical techniques. Two different root-end filling materials were used, grey MTA and RRM. Six months after surgery, healing of the periapical area was assessed by periapical radiographs, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), micro computed tomography (CT), and histology. RESULTS Minimal or no inflammatory response was observed in the majority of periapical areas regardless of the material. The degree of inflammatory infiltration and cortical plate healing were not significantly different between the 2 materials. However, a significantly greater root-end surface area was covered by cementum-like, periodontal ligament-like tissue, and bone in RRM group than in MTA group. When evaluating with periapical radiographs, complete healing rate in RRM and MTA groups was 92.6% and 75%, respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant (P = .073). However, on CBCT and micro CT images, RRM group demonstrated significantly superior healing on the resected root-end surface and in the periapical area (P = .000 to .027). CONCLUSIONS Like MTA, RRM is a biocompatible material with good sealing ability. However, in this animal model RRM achieved a better tissue healing response adjacent to the resected root-end surface histologically. The superior healing tendency associated with RRM could be detected by CBCT and micro CT but not periapical radiography.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate: 1) the apical root surface, gutta-percha interface, and preparation time of root-end resections made with burs, ultrasound, or laser; and 2) the thickness of surrounding dentin after laser or ultrasonic root-end cavity preparation. STUDY DESIGN 1) Thirty root-filled teeth were resected as follows: Zekrya bur in group I, Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) ultrasonic tip (9.5107-8) in group II, and ErCr:YSGG (Waterlase) in group III. The preparation time was recorded. Replicas of the resected root-ends were examined under a scanning electron microscope (SEM). 2) Thirty root-filled teeth were submitted to apicectomies and root-end cavities were prepared by using: CVD (6.1107-6) ultrasonic retrotips (group IV), EMS (DT-060) ultrasonic retrotips (group V), and ErCr:YSGG laser tips (group VI). Replicas of the root apices were examined under a SEM. RESULTS There were no fissures or fractures on root-end surfaces. The bur produced the smoothest surface (P < .05). Group I had the lowest preparation time (P < .05). The best adaptation between the filling and the root canals walls was observed in group III, but it was not significantly different from group II (P < .05). No resected root-ends had cracks after preparation. Group VI showed the least minimum dentin thickness (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS The 3 methods evaluated did not cause any injury to the root-end surface, but they harmed the apical adaptation. Laser tips removed more dentin than ultrasonic retrotips and should be used with care to avoid overpreparation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The potential of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) to enhance bone healing following endodontic surgery was tested. The pattern and timing of de novo bone formation and cementum regeneration, and the potential for root resorption and ankylosis to accompany bone formation were evaluated. STUDY DESIGN Pulpal infections were induced in maxillary and mandibular incisor teeth in young adult Cynomolgus monkeys. The teeth received conventional endodontic treatment immediately followed by surgical root resection. In a randomized split-mouth design, contralateral apical bone defects received rhBMP-2 in absorbable collagen sponge (ACS) carrier or served as sham-surgery controls to provide histological and radiographic evaluations following 1 (mandibular incisors) and 4.5 (maxillary incisors) month(s) postsurgery. RESULTS At 1 month postsurgery trabecular bone filled the apical bone defects. The newly formed bone appeared considerably more mature and had assumed characteristics of the contiguous resident bone at 4.5 months postsurgery. The resected root tips were almost completely covered by new cementum with a maturing functionally oriented periodontal ligament. Localized inflammatory infiltrates were associated with the filled root canals and extruded root-filling material. Root resorption and ankylosis were not observed. There were no apparent differences in healing patterns between sites implanted with rhBMP-2/ACS and those serving as sham-surgery controls. CONCLUSIONS Under conditions where the influence of infectious elements and irritation caused by root filling material are minimized, bone formation and cementum regeneration appears rapid following endodontic surgery. rhBMP-2/ACS did not offer an obvious benefit above and beyond that of the native osteogenic potential in this animal model.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the periapical tissue responses and cementum regeneration in response to three widely used root-end filling materials, amalgam, SuperEBA, and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA). These materials were placed using modern microsurgical techniques on endodontically treated dog premolars and molars. After 5 months, the cell and tissue reactions of surface-stained un-decalcified ground sections were evaluated by light microscopy and statistically analyzed. The major difference in the tissue responses to the three retrofilling materials were the degree of inflammation and types of inflammatory cells, number of fibrous capsule formations, cementum neoformation over these materials, osseous healing and resulting periodontal ligament thickness. MTA showed the most favorable periapical tissue response, with neoformation of cemental coverage over MTA. SuperEBA was superior to amalgam as a root-end filling material.

Abstract
The capacity to bond to dental tissues, especially to dentine, their long-term fluoride release and their biocompatibility make glass ionomer cements (GICs) advantageous for use in endodontics, as well as in restorative dentistry. This review provides information on the basic properties of GICs, such as adhesion, antimicrobial effects and biocompatibility, particularly as they relate to use in endodontics. Indications for the use of GICs in endodontics are orthograde root canal sealing, root-end filling, repair of perforations and root resorption defects, treatment of vertical fractures and maintenance of the coronal seal. The paper includes a review on each of these indications. It is concluded that in spite of the critical handling characteristics and the inconclusive findings regarding sealing ability and antimicrobial activity, there is substantial evidence to confirm their satisfactory clinical performance. Both soft tissue and bone compatibility make them suitable for use during endodontic surgery.

Abstract
This study investigated the effect of doxycycline irrigation on wound healing and the apical seal of three filling materials. Part 1: 220 extracted teeth received root canal therapy followed by root resection (2 mm) and ultrasonic root end preparations (3 mm). Groups of 20 were irrigated with saline, citric acid, or doxycycline and filled with amalgam, Super EBA, or MTA. Leakage was measured (mm) after decalcification and clearing. Part 2: two defects were made on each side of the mandible of 10 New Zealand rabbits. On each side, one defect was irrigated with saline and one with either citric acid or doxycycline. The animals were killed in groups of five at 9 and 18 days. Sections of each defect were stained with hematoxylin and eosin for evaluation of healing and bone fill. Super EBA and MTA leaked significantly less than amalgam, regardless of irrigant. Leakage after irrigation with doxycycline compared to citric acid or saline was not significantly different for Super EBA or MTA but was lower for amalgam. There was no significant difference in healing or bone fill among irrigants at 9 or 18 days.

Abstract
AIM The objective of this study was to evaluate on a comparative basis the potential for mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Diaket to promote periradicular tissue regeneration when used as surgical root-end filling materials. METHODOLOGY Seven dogs weighing between 15 and 25 kg were anesthetized prior to having the root canals of their mandibular premolars accessed, cleaned, shaped and obturated. Coronal access cavities were restored with IRM. Surgical access to the root ends was established and the root ends were resected and prepared with ultrasonic tips. Root-end fillings of either MTA or thickly mixed Diaket were randomly assigned to the preparations. Reflected tissues were repositioned and sutured with 4-0 vicryl sutures. Sixty days postsurgery, the animals were killed, perfused with 10% neutral buffered formalin and the third and fourth premolars removed in block sections. The specimens were demineralized and sectioned at 6-microm intervals for histological assessment. Sections were stained with either haematoxylin and eosin or Gomori's one step trichrome stain and examined under the light microscope. All evaluations were made by two calibrated examiners and gradings were scored based on established criteria. The raw data was evaluated statistically using anova after adjusting for the animal block effect. RESULTS Statistical evaluation indicated that there were no statistical differences between the observed regenerative responses of the tissues to the two root-end filling materials. CONCLUSIONS Both Diaket and MTA can support almost complete regeneration of the periradicular periodontium when used as root-end filling materials in periradicular surgery on noninfected teeth.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of smear layer and direction of dentinal tubules on osteoblast adhesion to human dentin tissue in vitro. Dentin disks were made from human premolars extracted for orthodontic reasons. Dentin disks were cut either perpendicularly to the long axis of the tooth or at 45 degrees to the long axis of tooth. The smear layer was removed by 34% phosphoric acid gel from half of the dentin disk surface. Human osteoblast-like Saos-2 cells were grown in RPMI medium with 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% antibiotic/antimycotic cocktail under standard cell culture conditions. Cells were seeded into Nunc four-well culture plates at 1.5 x 10(5) cells per well with dentin disks in the bottom of each well. After 1 day in culture the dentin disks along with cells grown on their surface were examined with a scanning electron microscopy. Osteoblasts attached and spread on the dentin surface and formed a monolayer in the presence and absence of a smear layer. Cells spread over the dentinal tubules despite their direction. These results suggest that cell adhesion and spreading of osteoblasts is not influenced either by the existence of a smear layer or the direction of the dentinal tubules on the dentin surface.

Abstract
AIM To analyse the healing response to gutta-percha and Diaket when used as root-end filling materials in periradicular surgery. METHODOLOGY Periradicular surgery was completed using the mandibular second, third and fourth premolar teeth from nine male mongrel dogs. The six roots on one side of the mouth were randomly allocated to one of the following groups: group A: a resected root end and a burnished gutta-percha root filling; group B: cavities were prepared to a depth of 4.0 mm, using ultrasonic root-end preparation and filled with Diaket. The response was evaluated histologically at 55 (nine specimens) and 150 (three specimens) days post operatively. RESULTS The data for the 55-day period was analysed statistically using Wilcoxon's Signed Ranks test. No statistical analysis was carried out on the 150-day group due to the small number of specimens. The level of significance was set at P < 0.05. No statistical significance was observed in the healing response between Diaket and gutta-percha in the following categories at 55 days: inflammatory response, angiogenesis, root-end resorption, and cementum deposition. Statistically significant differences were observed in the healing categories: bone apposition (P < 0.05) and periodontal ligament formation (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS At both time intervals, Diaket had a better healing response that was characterized by hard tissue formation adjacent to the root-end filling material bordered by occasional multinucleated giant cells. The nature of both the hard tissue formation and the adjacent cells, however, remains undetermined. Diaket displayed the best healing of either material used in this study.

Abstract
It was recently shown that application of enamel matrix derivatives (EMDs) on denuded root dentin promotes periodontal regeneration. EMD is shown to adhere to the etched dentin, but its adherence to root-end filling materials is not known. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the adherence of a commercially available EMD product to root-end filling materials. Dentin sections were embedded in blocks made of acrylic resin. Cavities were prepared in similar acrylic resin blocks and were filled with amalgam, IRM, or composite resin. EMD was labeled with radioactive iodine and applied to the surfaces of the dentin sections, freshly made fillings, or acrylic resin controls. The specimens were rinsed, and the amount of radioactive iodine was determined in a gamma counter. Substantial amounts of EMD adhered to dentin sections. EMD adherence to amalgam and IRM was significantly less than to dentin or composite resin.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare two implantation sites--the mandible and the femur of the rabbit--for testing in vivo intraosseous biocompatility. Twenty-two new Zealand rabbits were anesthetized, and the mandibular and femur bones were exposed. A hybrid glass ionomer cement or zinc oxide eugenol cement was loaded into silicone carriers and inserted into the two bones after drilling the two cortical plates. Eleven rabbits were killed 4 wk after implantation, and 11 rabbits were killed after 12 wk. The mandibles and femurs were prepared using standard histological procedures; tissue reactions were graded from none to severe. At 4 wk, no statistically significant difference was found between the two implantation sites. After 12 weeks, bone healing was statistically better in the mandible than in the femur. The mandible seems to be a better implantation site in the case of intraosseous implantation tests. The intraosseous biocompatibility of Vitremer was similar at 4 wk and superior at 12 wk to that of Super-EBA.

Abstract
The purpose of this in vivo study was to evaluate root-ends for cracks after root resection and again after ultrasonic root-end preparation in patients undergoing endodontic surgery. Endodontic surgery was performed on 25 roots from 20 patients. In vivo vinyl polysiloxane impressions were made after root resection and again after ultrasonic root-end preparations. Epoxy resin casts were made from the impressions and scanning electron micrographic examination of the root-end replicas was performed. There was no evidence of cracks after root resection. One incomplete canal crack was evident after ultrasonic root-end preparation.

Abstract
The cytotoxicity of three root-end filling materials (amalgam, IRM, and Super-EBA) was evaluated in cultures of human periodontal ligament cells and human osteoblast-like cells. Ten-millimeter-long plastic test tubes were filled with 3 mm of freshly mixed root-end filling materials at one end (1.5 mm diameter). The opposite end was sealed and attached by heat to a 35-mm cell culture dish. Human periodontal ligament cells and human osteoblast-like cells were seeded in the dishes. The size of cell-free zones around the root-end filling materials and the total cell number per dish were calculated after 3 and 7 days. Empty test tubes used as controls did not influence the growth and distribution of the cultured cells. Cell density increased in all groups in the test period. Amalgam had a larger cell-free zone, compared with IRM and Super-EBA and showed a reduction in total cell number per dish for both tested cell types. IRM and Super-EBA also had a cell-free inhibition zone for both cell types, but no significant reduction in total cell number per dish. This study showed that amalgam had a higher cell toxicity to human periodontal ligament cells and human osteoblast-like cells than IRM and Super-EBA.

Abstract
AIM The objective of this study was to evaluate the healing of the periradicular tissues when exogenous growth factors were delivered to the respected root-end. The healing response was compared with that when Diaket was used as a control. METHODOLOGY Non-surgical root canal treatment was performed on mandibular teeth in mongrel dogs. Surgical treatment followed and included root-end resection and root-end cavity preparation. Insulin-like growth factor in combination with platelet-derived growth factor, or fibroblast growth factor alone, were then placed in the root-end preparations on a polylactic acid carrier (Atrisorb) with or without the incorporation of the carrier tetracalcium phosphate. The healing was evaluated at 60 days with regard to presence of inflammatory response, bone regeneration, periodontal ligament formation and cementum formation. RESULTS Osseous regeneration in the excisional would and periodontal formation were significantly greater when Diaket was used as the root-end filling material. Likewise, cementum deposition occurred significantly more frequently in the Diaket group (P < 0.05). The polylactic carrier Atrisorb remained in the surgical sites for the duration of the study. CONCLUSIONS The use of specific growth factors, FGF and a combination of IGF/PDGF, delivered to the prepared root end in a collagen carrier did not initiate the desired periradicular tissue response of regeneration. Diaket, as used in this study, did stimulate a periradicular tissue response compatible with regeneration.

Abstract
Surgical root canal treatment often includes the placement of a root-end filling material. New materials have recently emerged to challenge the long-standing position of amalgam as the root-end filling material of choice. This review discusses several of the commonly used root-end filling materials, with emphasis on indications and contraindications for the use of each.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study compared the surface topography of roots resected with #57, Lindeman, and Multi-purpose burs. Further comparisons were made after refinements with either a multifluted carbide or an ultrafine diamond finishing bur. STUDY DESIGN Three groups of single-rooted human teeth were resected with each resection bur, and resin replicas of the root ends were made. Root ends from each resection bur group were finished with either a multifluted carbide or an ultrafine diamond finishing bur, and the root ends were replicated. All replicas were evaluated at a magnification of x20 for smoothness and surface irregularities. Data analysis was done with the Wilcoxon signed rank test and the chi-square test at a significance level of p < 0.05. RESULTS The Multi-purpose bur produced a smoother and more uniplanar surface than the #57 bur and caused less damage to the root than either the #57 or the Lindeman bur. The multifluted carbide finishing bur tended to improve the smoothness of the root end, while the ultrafine diamond tended to roughen the surface. CONCLUSIONS The Multi-purpose bur produced the smoothest and most uniplanar resected root-end surface with the least root shattering. The multifluted carbide finishing bur produced a smoother surface than the ultrafine diamond bur.

Abstract
The short-term tissue responses to two potential root-end filling materials, a light-cured glass ionomer cement (Vitrebond) and a reinforced zinc oxide-eugenol cement (Kalzinol), were compared with that to amalgam using a previously devised experimental model. In 24 premolar teeth of beagle dogs (47 roots), a collection of endodontic pathogenic bacteria was first inoculated into the root canals to induce periradicular lesions. On each root, an apicoectomy was performed and root-end cavities prepared to receive fillings of each material. The teeth and surrounding jaw were removed after 2 weeks (23 roots) and 1 week (24 roots); they were then prepared for histological examination. The tissue response to amalgam fillings after 2 weeks and 1 week was marked by moderate or severe inflammation on all roots, and extended to < or = 0.5 mm or > 0.5 mm in 15 out of 16 roots. In contrast, after 2 weeks, the majority of roots filled with Kalzinol showed little or moderate inflammation, while the tissue response to Vitrebond was the best of the three materials, and was also the least extensive. After 1 week, the overall best tissue response was with Vitrebond, followed by Kalzinol. The differences between materials for both time periods with either none or few inflammatory cells when compared with that with either moderate or severe inflammation were not statistically significant (P < 0.02). However, the differences between materials for both time periods with no inflammation or inflammation extending < 0.2 mm when compared with that with inflammation extending > 0.2 mm (< or = 0.5 mm or > 0.5 mm) were statistically significant (P < 0.01). Apart from amalgam, in which healing was marked by the persistence of a localized focus of inflammation adjacent to the root-end filling, even though there were intersample variations, there was little overall difference in the temporal and qualitative healing response to Vitrebond and Kalzinol. Both Vitrebond and Kalzinol have potential as root-end filling materials, as the tissue response was considerably more favourable than that to amalgam even in the short-term.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the ability of methylene blue solutions of different concentration, pH, and time exposure to remove the smear layer from resected root-ends. STUDY DESIGN Resected root-ends were treated with either 2% methylene blue dye for intervals of 5 to 11 minutes or 1% methylene blue for 7 to 9 minutes and examined with a scanning electron microscope for smear layer removal. Two minute applications of saline solution and 50% citric acid served as controls. RESULTS All methylene blue solutions were found to be ineffective in removing the smear layer at all time intervals tested. An experimental solution of 1% methylene blue in 50% citric acid was found to predictably remove the smear layer during a 2 minute application and retained all the favorable staining characteristics of the dye. Fifty percent citric acid solutions applied for 3 minutes appeared to overdemineralize the root-end and gave poorer results than 2 minute applications. CONCLUSIONS Smear layer removal was pH dependent. Methylene blue solutions are clinically unsuitable for smear layer removal.

Abstract
Many clinicians use ultrasonics for root-end preparations. The purpose of this study was to evaluate resected root-end surfaces of bilaterally matched human teeth for cracks before and after ultrasonic root-end preparation. Twenty matched pairs of extracted single rooted teeth were divided into two experimental groups. In group 1, root-end resection was performed on uninstrumented teeth. In group 2, root-end resection was performed after the canals were instrumented and filled with gutta-percha. All teeth in both groups received root-end preparations using ultrasonic instrumentation at low power. Two examiners evaluated the root-ends after root-end resection and again after root-end preparation using zoom magnification of 20x to 63x. The number, types, and location of cracks were mapped. There were no significant differences when gutta-percha filled roots were compared to uninstrumented roots with regard to the number or type of cracks after root-end resection or root-end preparation. In addition, there were no significant differences in the number or type of cracks following root resection and ultrasonic root-end preparation when compared to teeth with root resection alone.

Abstract
Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) has been shown in a number of experiments to be a potential root-end filling material. The purpose of this study was to examine the periradicular tissue response of monkeys to MTA and amalgam as root-end fillings. The pulps were removed from all the maxillary incisors of three monkeys. The root canals were prepared and filled with laterally condensed guttapercha and sealer, and the access cavities were restored with amalgam. Buccal mucoperiosteal flaps were raised, and root-end resections were performed before root-end cavity preparation with burs. The root-end cavities in half of the teeth were filled with MTA, while amalgam was placed in the other cavities. After 5 months the periradicular tissue response was evaluated histologically. The results showed no periradicular inflammation adjacent to five of six root ends filled with MTA; also five of six root ends filled with MTA had a complete layer of cementum over the filling. In contrast, all root ends filled with amalgam showed periradicular inflammation, and cementum had not formed over the root-end filling material, although it was present over the cut root end. Based on these results and previous investigations, MTA is recommended as a root-end filling material in man.

Abstract
Intermediate Restorative Material (IRM) has been advocated as a root-end filling material based primarily on reports of clinical success and various leakage studies. The objectives of this study were to determine the excisional wound healing responses of the periradicular tissues to IRM root-end filling material and to compare this with the wound healing responses to amalgam and orthograde gutta-percha root-end filling materials. Mandibular premolars in dogs were obturated, root-ends resected, and the healing responses associated with root-end fillings of IRM, amalgam, and orthograde gutta-percha were evaluated microscopically and radiographically at postsurgical intervals of 10 and 45 days. The excisional wound healing responses associated with IRM root-end fillings were normal at both postsurgical intervals. There was no evidence of inhibition of dentoalveolar or osseous wound healing associated with IRM, amalgam, or orthograde gutta-percha. Statistical analysis showed no difference in wound healing between the 3 root-end filling materials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine and compare osseous regeneration associated with three guided tissue regeneration membrane types (expanded polytetrafluoroethylene, dense polytetrafluoroethylene, and an absorbable polylactic acid/citric acid ester base) and removal forces required for expanded and dense polytetrafluoroethylene membranes. STUDY DESIGN Bilateral osseous defects were created in 30 adult rat calvaria; one defect was covered with a test membrane and the other received no membrane (control). After 2 or 4 weeks, forces required for membrane removal from the tissues were electronically determined, and the calvaria removed and decalcified. Sections through the defects were stained and evaluated electronically and microscopically. Data were analyzed statistically. RESULTS Microscopic evaluation with Mann-Whitney U test revealed that dense polytetrafluoroethylene was associated with significantly greater bone formation than expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (p = 0.02) at 2 weeks and absorbable polylactic acid/citric acid ester base (p = 0.004) at 4 weeks. Electronic evaluation of the linear degree of fill with one way ANOVA and Tukey's test found no significant difference (p > 0.05) among the experimental or the control groups. In addition, the Mann-Whitney U test indicated that removal forces required for dense polytetrafluoroethylene were significantly less than for expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS The use of dense polytetrafluoroethylene as a membrane barrier deserves further investigation as it allows osseous regeneration, it is easier to remove from healing soft tissues, and it is inexpensive. A study with larger sample sizes should be conducted.

Abstract
The healing of the periradicular tissues was evaluated when the polyvinyl resin Diaket with and without tricalcium phosphate was used as surgical root-end filling material. Non-surgical root canal treatment was performed on 56 mandibular premolar roots in mongrel dogs. Following root-end resection, root-end cavity preparations were filled with Diaket, the comparative material, or Diaket in combination with tricalcium phosphate, the experimental material. Postsurgically, healing of the tissues adjacent to the filling materials and in the surrounding surgical site were evaluated at 30 and 60 days. There was virtually no statistically significant difference between the experimental and comparative group at or within the 30- or 60-day period with regard to inflammation, connective tissue formation, root-end encapsulation, cementum formation, or bone apposition. Findings suggest that cementogenesis occurred over both materials. The overall healing of the periradicular tissues was favourable.

Abstract
In the roots and root analogs of mammalian teeth a narrow zone of highly calcified tissue occupies the junction between cementum and dentin. This zone is referred to as "intermediate cementum," despite evidence that it is not a product of cementogenesis (or of dentinogenesis). Studies conducted on teeth of human and nonhuman primates indicate that the intermediate cementum layer contains enamel matrix proteins and is likely a product of Hertwig's epithelial root sheath. The available evidence regarding the development (origin), structure, and composition of intermediate cementum is reviewed, and the potential functions of this layer are assessed to include a possible role in wound healing.
