Overview
The purpose of this study is to compare the endodontic outcomes of Bio-MA and ProRoot MTA in pulpotomy, orthograde MTA apical barrier, root perforation repair, endodontic microsurgery.
Description
The patients were recruited at the Endodontic clinic, Faculty of Dentistry, Mahidol University, Thailand. Each treatment was provided following the standard protocol. The calcium silicate based material (Bio-MA or ProRoot MTA) was randomly selected and used in the treatment. The patients were periodically recalled at 6 to 12 months. The outcome of the three treatments based on the clinical and radiographic criteria was assessed by the calibrated examiners and interpreted as ''healed/healing" or ''disease.''
