Abstract The aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare between a newly- introduced bioceramic material (I Root BP) versus Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) as root-end filling materials. The two materials were compared regarding the following: Part I: (In-Vitro Study) to evaluate: 1- Sealing ability of bioceramic material (I Root BP) versus Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) at different time intervals when used as retrograde filling materials (in extracted human incisors using the dye extraction method). 2- Marginal adaptation of the two filling materials to the dentinal walls of the root-end cavity (using Scanning Electron Microscopic examination). Part II: (In-Vivo Animal Study): Histopathological evaluation of the intra-osseous biocompatibility of the two materials at three observation periods (2 weeks, 4 weeks and 8 weeks) in experimental rabbits. Part III: (Clinical Human Study): Clinical and radiographic assessment of the effect of (I Root BP) versus (MTA) on periapical bone healing acceleration when used as retrograde filling materials in selected endodontic clinical cases indicated for periradicular surgery. |
