Effect of MTA particle size on periapical healing.
International Endodontic Journal 2017 December
AIM: To examine the effect of reduction in MTA particle size on dento-alveolar and osseous healing in dogs.
METHODOLOGY: Root canals of 24 mandibular premolars in four 2-year-old beagles were prepared and filled with gutta-percha and sealer. Two to four weeks later, during periapical surgery, the root-end cavity preparations in these teeth were filled with either grey ProRoot MTA or modified (reduced particle sizes with faster setting time) MTA. The animals were sacrificed 4 months later. Degrees of inflammation, type of inflammatory cells, fibrous connective tissue adjacent to the root-end filling materials, cementum formation over the resected roots and root-end filling materials and bone healing were examined. Data were analysed using the McNemar test.
RESULTS: No significant differences in healing of periapical tissues were found when comparing ProRoot MTA to a modified MTA containing reduced particle sizes.
CONCLUSION: Reducing the particle sizes of MTA did not impact its biological properties.
