Perforation Repair Potential of Resin Modified Calcium Silicate Cement Material

Abstract

This study compared the biological and physical properties of three different calcium silicate materials. The materials compared were MTA angelus, Biodentine and TheraCal. The biological property compared was biocompatibility. The compared physical properties were solubility and Adaptability. The methods used to evaluate biocompatibility are inflammatory response and Radiographic evaluation. The method used to evaluate the solubility was the ISO standard method. Solubility was evaluated after one week. As for adaptability SEM was used to compare the adaptability of the tested materials. The Biocompatibility was evaluated using two parameters inflammatory cell count in response to the tested materials, and Radiographic evaluation of presence or absences of radiolucency, when they are used to repair furcation perforation of dog teeth. The periods of evaluation were after one month and three months. After one month, TheraCal showed the highest inflammatory response and highest frequent distribution of radiolucency presences followed by Biodentine and MTAangelus. After three months same result obtained TheraCal showed the highest inflammatory response and highest frequent distribution of radiolucency presences followed by Biodentine and MTAangelus. The different in frequent distribution between groups was statistically significant.
