Abstract
PURPOSE The study aimed to evaluate temporary fillings using Biodentine™ in asymptomatic deep carious lesions after 12, 24, and 36 months in school children from the remote village of Kerung, Nepal. METHODS From November 2018 to November 2019, 91 temporary fillings were placed using Biodentine™ (a hydraulic calcium silicate cement) in permanent molars with deep carious lesions of schoolchildren in the remote district of Kerung, Nepal. These restorations were performed after selective caries removal in a non-dental setting with hand instruments and cotton roll isolation, as electric motors and saliva ejection systems were unavailable. In total, 78 single-surface and 13 multi-surface fillings were placed. Clinical and radiographic follow-up periods encompassed 12, 21, and 33 months, respectively. RESULTS After 12 months, all single-surface fillings (100%) survived, whilst all multi-surface fillings were partially or entirely lost. The survival rate of single-surface restorations after 21 and 33 months was 67.6% and 50%, respectively. Radiographically, no pathology was observed. CONCLUSION This study showed that Biodentine could be used in deep carious lesions as a temporary filling in single-surface lesions for at least up to 1 year and in a substantial number of cases for up to 21 and 33 months.

[PMID: 38007432 PMCID: PMC10676601 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-023-04550-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2023] [Accepted: 09/21/2023] [Indexed: 11/27/2023] Open
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.

J Int Soc Prev Community Dent 2023; 13:493-499. [PMID: 38304536 PMCID: PMC10829285 DOI: 10.4103/jispcd.jispcd_68_23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2023] [Revised: 11/12/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 02/03/2024] Open
Abstract
Aim Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is a relatively new versatile dental material. MTA has many advantages as well as disadvantages. To reduce most of the drawbacks of MTA, a premixed bioceramic MTA, NeoPutty MTA, was introduced in 2020. In this study, we assessed the antimicrobial activity of the newer MTA, NeoPutty MTA. We modified NeoPutty MTA and compared both against Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli. Materials and Methods Using the agar diffusion method, NeoPutty MTA was tested for antibacterial activity against the above-mentioned microorganisms. A base layer of Petri plates was done using Muller-Hinton agar for S. aureus, E. coli, and P. aeruginosa and brain heart infusion agar for E. faecalis. A total of 32 plates were employed; the plates were divided randomly into four test groups having eight plates each, so microorganisms were tested eight times. Three cavities were made in agar and filled with freshly mixed materials after 24 h. A pour plate seeded the microorganisms. The plates were pre-incubated for 2 h at room temperature and incubated at 37°C for 24 h. An independent observer measured the inhibition zone diameters. Results NeoPutty MTA, when tested alone, did not show much antibacterial activity against E. faecalis, S. aureus, and E. coli but had significant antimicrobial activity against P. aeruginosa when used at different concentrations. Modified NeoPutty (NeoPutty with antibiotics added individually) showed significant antibacterial activity against these microorganisms, as seen by the zone of inhibition of these bacteria. Conclusion Modified NeoPutty with antibiotics has a better antimicrobial effect than NeoPutty MTA.

Comparative Evaluation of the Physical and Antimicrobial Properties of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate, Biodentine, and a Modified Fast-Setting Mineral Trioxide Aggregate Without Tricalcium Aluminate: An In Vitro Study. Cureus 2023; 15:e42856. [PMID: 37664390 PMCID: PMC10473445 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.42856] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 08/02/2023] [Indexed: 09/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Tricalcium aluminate, one of the major constituents of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), has been shown to have cytotoxic properties. Mineral trioxide aggregate has moderate to low antimicrobial activity against the most common endodontic pathogen, Enterococcus faecalis. Aim To assess the physical and antimicrobial properties of a newly modified formulation of mineral trioxide aggregate. Materials & methods The final setting time, compressive strength, and antimicrobial properties were tested for three groups of materials. The material used for Group 1 was mineral trioxide aggregate (white MTA, Angelus, Londrina, Brazil); the material for Group 2 was Biodentine (Septodont, Saint Maur des Fossés, France); and for Group 3, a modified MTA formulation was used. Results Group 1 had the longest setting time, and Group 2 had the shortest setting time. Group 3's material was set at 83.65 ± 0.28 minutes. This difference among the groups was statistically significant (p < 0.05). The highest mean compressive strength during all the time periods was seen in Group 2, followed by Group 3, and the least in Group 1. This difference in compressive strength was statistically significant (p=0.001). The largest zone of inhibition against Enterococcus faecalis, Candida albicans, and Streptococcus mutans was seen in Group 3, followed by Group 2 and Group 1. Conclusion Under the limitations of the present study, the newly modified MTA could serve as an alternative to the conventional MTA in terms of faster setting, higher strength, and better antimicrobial properties.
