Antibacterial Evaluation

Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is an ideal yet costly endodontic sealer material. Tricalcium silicate-white Portland cement (TS-WPC) seems to have similar characteristics to those of MTA. This work aims to characterize a modified TS-WPC and evaluate its antibacterial properties as a potential endodontic sealer material. The modified TS-WPC was synthesized from a 4:1 mixture of sterilized Indocement TS-WPC and bismuth trioxide using a simple solution method with 99.9% isopropanol. The mixture was stirred until it was homogenous, centrifuged, and dried. The material was then characterized using infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and electron microscopy and subjected to antibacterial evaluation against Enterococcus faecalis using a Mueller–Hinton agar inhibition test. The results showed that the material was characterized by main functional groups of hydroxyls, silicate, bismuth trioxide, and tricalcium silicate, like those of a commercial MTA-based sealer, both tested after hydration. Modified TS-WPC before hydration showed similar powder morphology and size to the commercial one, indicating the ease of manipulation. Both materials exhibited antibacterial activity due to calcium dihydroxide’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide, which is essential for the anaerobic E. faecalis, with minimum inhibitory effect and bactericidal concentrations of 12,500 ppm and 25,000 ppm, respectively. The modified TS-WPC has the potential to become a cost-effective alternative endodontic sealer material.

Fourteen root perforations were performed for microscopic evaluation of the repair of interradicular tissue in dogs' teeth. These perforations were accomplished at low-speed with a STP 58 bur at the cervical third of the mesial root toward the furcation under irrigation with saline solution, followed by immediate sealing with ProRoot MTA, MTA-Angelus and white Portland cement. The dogs were killed after 90 days, revealing good results. The Kruskal-Wallis test did not demonstrate any statistically significant difference. It was concluded that the three materials showed good sealing in mineralized tissue, with complete closure, and they were free of inflammation in most teeth.

Tricalcium silicates cement known as Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) was one of the influential materials in endodontics. At recent, MTA in dental application play an essential role in endodontics treatment due to its potential to regenerate tertiary dentine, apexification, and seal perforated root. However, MTA for dental application is still expensive. Portland cement has similarities with the MTA, especially portland cement fabricated in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to investigate the composition and functional groups of tricalcium silicate from portland cement that fabricated in Indonesia. The Indonesian grey portland cement powder/portland cement type I (SNI-15-7064-2014) was used as a sample and commercialized MTA from Tehnodent (Rootdent) was used as a control for comparison. Powder and control samples were evaluated using X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) for composition test and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) for functional group analyses. The XRF evaluation showed that the composition and concentration of Indonesian grey portland cement powder almost has similarity with commercial MTA. Moreover, the Indonesian grey portland cement powder has higher Calcium and Silicon ions compared to MTA. The FTIR analyses revealed that the calcium silicate groups were detected. In conclusion, the Indonesian grey portland cement powder has high similarity to MTA, therefore, it has a possibility to be used as tricalcium silicate cement for MTA substitution. Further study is awaited based on this initial finding found in this study.

Pulp capping has been suggested as one treatment of choice after pulp exposure. Calcium hydroxide [Ca (OH)2] recognized as gold standard of direct pulp capping matter for some decades. Throughout the time, a new cement known as mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has developed into a prominent alternative. A recent study found that matter as the most effective pulp capping material. Despite the fact, MTA is an expensive material. Several studies in different country show that portland cement has highly similarity chemical composition with MTA. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the chemical composition of white portland cement that fabricated in Indonesia compared to MTA. White portland cement fabricated in Indonesia was used as a sample in this study and commercial MTA as a control. Samples and control were assessed using X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) to figure out chemical composition and concentration. Investigating the wavelength of the functional group using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The results show that composition, concentration, and functional group either Indonesian white portland cement and MTA has highly similar. Hence, it has a chance to use Indonesian white portland cement for dental pulp capping material as MTA substitution.
