Abstract

I. Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate, histologically, healing in the periodontal tissue after mechanical furcation perforations using Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (PRO ROOTMTA). II. Materials and Methods These experiments were carried out on mandibular and maxilla premolars and molars obtained from 12 dogs more than one year old and which had clinically healthy periodontia. A total of 34 perforations were made. These were divided into Control(9), MTA(25) groups respectively. A sterile round bur (1mm in diameter) was used to create a mechanical perforation in the furcal floor.(omitted)
