Periradicular regeneration after endodontic surgery with calcium-enriched mixture cement in dogs.
INTRODUCTION The aim of this in vivo study was to compare the response of periradicular tissues to mineral trioxide aggregate ( MTA ) and calcium-enriched mixture ( CEM ) cement as root-end fillings and to analyze hard tissue healing after periradicular surgery . METHODS Intentional periradicular lesions were induced in 32 premolar teeth in 4 beagle dogs . The root canals were prepared , dried , and obturated with laterally condensed gutta-percha with sealer , and the coronal access cavities were filled with amalgam . After surgical exposure of the apices , 2 - 3 mm of the apical root was resected , and root-end cavities were ultrasonically prepared . The root-end cavities were r and omly filled with MTA or CEM cement . After 2 months , the animals were killed ; tissue blocks were removed and prepared for histologic examination . Hard tissue healing including cementum and new bone formation in addition to concentration and extent of inflammation were evaluated . RESULTS Eight sample s were excluded . The major finding was the cementum deposition adjacent to MTA in 11 of 12 sample s and CEM cement in 10 of 12 sample s. With one-way analysis of variance , no significant difference was observed between the periradicular tissue response to tested material s. CONCLUSIONS CEM cement and MTA were associated with regenerative periapical tissue response when used as root-end filling bio material
