재생적 근관치료는 치수 괴사를 보이는 미성숙 영구치 치료에 있어서 괴사된 치수를 치유하고 계속되는 치근의 발달을 유도할 수 있다. 그러나 여기에는 몇 가지 단점과 불리한 결과들이 있다. 이 중 재생적 근관치료에 가장 큰 임상적 부작용은 minocycline과 MTA에 의한 변색이다. 본 증례에서는 재생적 근관치료 후에 나타나는 치관 변색을 방지하기 위해 minocycline을 clindamycin으로 대체한 triple antibiotics와 칼슘 지르코늄 알루민산염 시멘트인 Retro MTA를 사용하였다. 치수 괴사된 미성숙 영구치에서 근관 와동 형성 및 근관 세척 후 수정된 triple antibiotics를 적용하고, 혈병 또는 콜라겐 스펀지를 스캐폴드(scaffold)로 하여 Retro MTA로 근관을 폐쇄하였다. 정기적인 검진 결과 미성숙 영구치의 치근 성장 및 정상적인 치아 주위 조직들이 관찰되었으며, 치관 변색 없이 모두 양호한 치유 결과를 얻었다.

Objectives: In recent in vitro study, it was reported that osteostatin (OST) has an odontogenic effect and synergistic effect with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) in human dental pulp cells. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate whether OST has a synergistic effect with MTA on hard tissue formation in vivo. Materials and Methods: Thirty-two maxillary molars of Spraque-Dawley rats were used in this study. An occlusal cavity was prepared and the exposed pulps were randomly divided into 3 groups: group 1 (control; ProRoot MTA), group 2 (OST 100 μM + ProRoot MTA), group 3 (OST 10 mM + ProRoot MTA). Exposed pulps were capped with each material and cavities were restored with resin modified glass ionomer. The animals were sacrificed after 4 weeks. All harvested teeth were scanned with micro-computed tomography (CT). The samples were prepared and hard tissue formation was evaluated histologically. For immunohistochemical analysis, the specimens were sectioned and incubated with primary antibodies against dentin sialoprotein (DSP). Results: In the micro-CT analysis, it is revealed that OST with ProRoot MTA groups showed more mineralized bridge than the control (p < 0.05). In the H&E staining, it is showed that more quantity of the mineralized dentin bridge was formed in the OST with ProRoot MTA group compared to the control (p < 0.05). In all groups, DSP was expressed in newly formed reparative dentin area. Conclusions: OST can be a supplementary pulp capping material when used with MTA to make synergistic effect in hard tissue formation.

Advancements in bio-ceramic technology has revolutionised endodontic material science by enhancing the treatment outcome for patients. This class of dental materials conciliates excellent biocompatibility with high osseoconductivity that render them ideal for endodontic care. Few recently introduced bio-ceramic materials have shown considerable clinical success over their early generations in terms of good handling characteristics. Calcium enriched mixture (CEM) cement, Endosequence sealer, and root repair materials, Biodentine and BioAggregate are the new classes of bio-ceramic materials. The aim of this literature review is to present investigations regarding properties and applications of CEM cement in endodontics. A review of the existing literature was performed by using electronic and hand searching methods for CEM cement from January 2006 to December 2013. CEM cement has a different chemical composition from that of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) but has similar clinical applications. It combines the biocompatibility of MTA with more efficient characteristics, such as significantly shorter setting time, good handling characteristics, no staining of tooth and effective seal against bacterial leakage.

매복치의 치료방법으로 교정적 견인, 발치 후 임플란트, 자가치아이식 등 다양한 치료 방법이 있다. 그 중에서도 자가치아이식은 성장하는 환자들에게서 이식치 고유의 치주인대세포의 보존 및 치조골 성장이 가능하다는 점에서 좋은 치료방법이라고 생각된다. 이 증례에서는 성장중인 청소년의 이소 매복 치아를 자가치아이식으로 치료한 두 개의 증례를 소개하고자 한다. 첫 번째 증례에서 이소 매복된 좌측 하악 제2소구치를 발거 후 정위치로 자가치아이식하였고 혈소판 농축 피브린(PRF)과 mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA)를 사용하여 재생 근관 치료를 하였다. 석회화 치성낭으로 인해 이소매복된 좌측 하악 제2대구치를 지닌 두 번째 증례에서 병소의 적출술을 시행하였다. Obturator를 3개월 간 장착하여 매복치아의 자발적 맹출을 기대하였으나 맹출 양상이 없어 자가치아이식한 후 MTA를 이용한 근관치료를 하였다. 두 증례 모두 자가치아이식술로 이소매복치를 간단하고 빠르게 치료하였다. 성장하는 환자에게서 이소매복치의 자가치아 이식술은 임플란트나 보철물 수복 대신 좋은 치료 방법이 될 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the response of periradicular tissues to amalgam, IRM, Ketac-silver and MTA(Mineral trioxide aggregate) used as a root end fillings. The lower third and fourth premolars of 5 mongrel dogs were used. Each root was resected, followed by root end fillings with experimental materials. The animals were sacrificed after 16 weeks and radiographic and histologic results were evaluated. The results were as follows : 1. Severe inflammation around apex and disruption of cortical were noted in relation to the amalgam. 2. With IRM, there was severe infiltration of inflammatory cells around filling material, but healing of cortical bone was noted. 3. With Ketac-silver, mild inflammation and thick band of fibrous connetive tissue around filling material were seen, with a cortical bone healing. 4. In case of MTA, complete regeneration of cortical bone was seen, and free MTA was surrounded with newly formed bone tissue.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the shear bond strength (SBS) of a self-adhering flowable composite (Dyad Flow) and a bulk-fill flowable composite (Smart Dentin Replacement [SDR]) to several pulp-capping materials, including MTA Plus, Dycal, Biodentine, and TheraCal. Materials and Methods: Eighty acrylic blocks with 2-mm-deep central holes that were 4 mm in diameter were prepared and divided into 2 groups (n = 40 each) according to the composite used (Dyad Flow or SDR). They were further divided into 4 sub-groups (n = 10 each) according to the pulp-capping agent used. SBS was tested using a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. Data were analyzed using 2-way analysis of variance. A p value of < 0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance. Results: A statistically significant difference (p = 0.040) was found between Dyad Flow and SDR in terms of bond strength to MTA Plus, Dycal, Biodentine, and TheraCal. Conclusions: Among the 8 sub-groups, the combination of TheraCal and SDR exhibited the highest SBS.

본 연구의 목적은 현재 치근단 역충전재로 널리 사용되고 있는 MTA와 새롭게 개발된 제품인 DB를 MG63 세포를 사용하여 비교하는 것이다. 치근단 역충전재료로는 MTA, DB, IRM을 사용하였고 대조군으로는 tissue culture plastic을 사용하였다. 각 재료를 혼합하고 혼합물의 경화가 일어나도록 24시간 동안 놓아두었다. MG63 세포를 각 군에 뿌려준 후 세포가 재료에 부착될 수 있도록 4시간 배양하였다. 치근단 역충전재를 세포에 접촉시킨 후 세포수준의 초기 반응을 관찰하였다. 12시간 더 배양한 후 세포가 각 재료에 붙어 있는 정도를 관찰하고, 각 재료가 골형성에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 ELISA를 이용하여 $TGF{\beta}1$, OC를 측정하였고 ALP의 양도 측정하였다. 결과는 일원배치분산분석법으로 통계처리하였다. 그 결과, 재료에 부착이 일어난 세포의 수 항목과 OC 항목에서만 MTA와 DB간에 통계적으로 차이가 없었다. 다른 항목들에서는 모든 군 간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. DB가 MTA와 완전히 같은 세포반응을 보이지는 않았지만 부착이 일어난 세포의 수는 재료의 생체적합성을 나타내며 OC는 골형성 정도를 나타내므로 DB가 역충전 재료로 사용된다면 MTA와 유사한 결과를 보일 것으로 예측된다.

Numerous materials such as amalgam, IRM, SuperEBA, dessicated ZOE, and Ketac-Silver have been used as a root-end filling material or to repair furcation perforations. But so far no material has been found to satisfy all of the requirements of an ideal restorative material. Recently, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has been suggested for use as a root end filling material and for the repair of furcation perforations. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of MTA on the proliferation of MC3T3/E1 osteoblastic cell, formation of bone nodule, alkaline phosphatase activity, and finally the tissue reaction of bone with those of amalgam, IRM, SuperEBA, dessicated ZOE, and Ketac-Silver. The following conclusions were drawn within the limits of the experimental results : 1. MTA showed a excellent proliferation of osteoblastic cell and Ketac-Silver showed moderate proliferation of osteoblastic cell. The rest of test materials showed no proliferation of osteoblastic cell. 2. Many of definite bone nodules were found in the MTA group. In contrast, Ketac-Silver group showed no definite bone formation but only showed mild sign of bone formation. 3. Alkaline phosphatase activity of Ketac-Silver and MTA showed similar results. But both of them showed higher activity than that of other materials (p<0.005). 4. The tissue reaction to implanted MTA in the calbarium of mouse was milder than that observed with other materials. The tissue reaction of dessicated ZOE showed the worst results among the test materials.

Objectives: This study evaluated the effects of Biodentine (BD), Bio-C Repair (BCR), and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) plug on the fracture resistance of simulated immature teeth with replacement root resorption (RRR) and in vitro-induced osteoclastogenesis. Materials and Methods: Sixty bovine incisors simulating immature teeth and RRR were divided into 5 groups: BD and BCR groups, with samples completely filled with the respective materials; MTA group, which utilized a 3-mm apical MTA plug; RRR group, which received no root canal filling; and normal periodontal ligament (PL) group, which had no RRR and no root canal filling. All the teeth underwent cycling loading, and compression strength testing was performed using a universal testing machine. RAW 264.7 macrophages were treated with 1:16 extracts of BD, BCR, and MTA containing receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL) for 5 days. RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation was assessed by staining with tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase. The fracture load and osteoclast number were analyzed using 1-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (α = 0.05). Results: No significant difference in fracture resistance was observed among the groups (p > 0.05). All materials similarly inhibited osteoclastogenesis (p > 0.05), except for BCR, which led to a lower percentage of osteoclasts than did MTA (p < 0.0001). Conclusions: The treatment options for non-vital immature teeth with RRR did not strengthen the teeth and promoted a similar resistance to fractures in all cases. BD, MTA, and BCR showed inhibitory effects on osteoclast differentiation, with BCR yielding improved results compared to the other materials.
