Endodontic reparative materials use radiopacifiers containing metals in their composition allowing follow-up examination through imageology. These materials have different levels of solubility due to their hydraulic characteristic and a crucial concern is that a local migration of radiopacifying elements to the adjacent tissues from these materials has been reported to dentine and connect…
Reparative cements such as the MTA are widely used in endodontics in procedures that include sealing of perforations, pulp capping, apical surgeries, and apexifications. The composition of such cements includes the presence of bismuth oxide, as a radiopacifying agent. Bismuth ions are very reactive and interact chemically with dental structures, resulting in the deposition of a black prec…
The aim of the study is to evaluate the physical, chemical and antimicrobial properties of high plasticity calcium silicate-based cements (MTA HP, Biodentine and MTA Flow) and to purpose a novel high plasticity cement composed of tricalcium and dicalcium silicate, bismuth oxide, zinc oxide and in the liquid, distilled water and water-soluble polymer. The association of zinc oxide in MTA F…
Intracanal medications are used as adjuncts in the decontamination of root canals and to fill the spaces of the pulp cavity when endodontic treatment is not yet complete. The medication should have an alkaline pH, be biocompatible, and be able to penetrate dentinal tubules. These medications can be based on calcium hydroxide or calcium silicate. Given the importance of the vehicle in thes…
This study aims to analyze, through computerized microtomography, the efficacy of removing Bio-C Temp and UltraCal XS medications using ultrasonic insert, as well as comparing the behavior of these medications over different periods. The null hypotheses are that the choice of medication and the analysis period will not significantly influence the removal process. Monoradicular human teeth…

Calcium silicate-based sealers have a grainy consistency and require plasticizing agents, such as polymers, to ensure handling and flow throughout the entire dimension and ramifications of the root canals. Several polymers are questionable regarding their positive contribution to the physicochemical properties of bioceramic sealers and need to be better elucidated. Therefore, the aim of t…
Endodontic filling cements based on calcium silicate are currently proposed for endodontic treatment, which are commercially available in ready-to-use or powder/liquid formulas. Ready-to-use cements depend on ambient humidity to initiate the pressure reaction, while for powder/liquid cements, water is present in the formulation itself. Under clinical conditions, these materials must prese…
Calcium silicate-based repair endodontic cements are currently proposed for endodontic treatment, which are commercially available in ready-to-use or powder/liquid formulas. Ready-to-use cements depend on ambient humidity to initiate the setting reaction, while in powder/liquid cements, water is present in the formulation itself. Under clinical conditions, these materials must present bio…

Endodontic apical surgery is a procedure clinically performed after failed endodontic treatments or retreatments. This procedure usually involves the surgical exposure of the affected region, the removal of apical lesion by curettage, apicoectomy, root-end cavity filling using radio-opacified reparative materials aiming to obtain bone repair following this procedure. Different radio-opaci…
Conservative endodontic treatments allow the maintenance of teeth in functional conditions. Mineral trioxide aggregate is composed of tricalcium silicate, dicalcium silicate, and tricalcium aluminate phases, and bismuth oxide is used as a radiopacifier agent. The first commercially available formulation of this material was ProRoot MTA (Dentsply). Bismuth has been shown to migrate locally…
The aim of the study is to evaluate the phase, chemical and cristalline structure of high-plasticity cements (MTA HP, Biodentine, MTA Flow, MTA Flow + 5% ZnO and an experimental tricalcium silicate cement) using x-ray diffractometry (XRD). Hydrated and non-hydrated cements will be evaluated. The samples will be prepared in the Dental School of Piracicaba. For the analysis of the non-hydra…
The aim of the study is to perform the analysis of microstructure and elements of cements and dentin/cement interface. The evaluated cements will be: I - White MTA, II - Portland cement (PC), III - PC with 20% of zirconium oxide (ZO), IV - PC with 50% of ZO, V - PC with 20% of calcium tungstate (CT) and VI - PC with 50% of CT. The analysis of microstructure will be performed using the ene…
