The use of MTA cement (mineral trioxide aggregate) to solve endodontics treatment complications, like pulpar floor camera perforations during root canal treatment, as well as a retrograde obturation material of apicectomy treatment, was the purpose of this investigation. White MTA Angelus, (Industria de productos odontologicos Ltda. Londrina-PR-Brazil) was used wich has 10 – 15 minutes as initial and final hardening time. The radiopacity showed by the material was somewhat superior to that of the dentine and oseo tissues, making its visualization in control x-rays easier. Inmediate and sixty days postoperative radiographic and clinical controls were made to cases. The results showed that there was adaptation from the cement to the retroapical and perforation cavity walls, producing an apical and marginal seal. The tricalcic silicate, tricalcic aluminate, dicalcic silicate, and tetracal...

The purpose of the investigation was, to compare the marginal seal of direct restorations, carried out with the sandwich technique, after the removal of decayed tissue by means of papaine gel (Papacarie) and the conventional rotational method. So, 20 recently extracted human premolars were selected, with decay lesions that committed the oclusal and proximal surface. The sample was randomly divided in two groups: Group 1: the removal of decayed dentine was made, by means of the chemo mechanical technique using the gel Papacarie. Group 2: the removal of decayed dentine was made by means of the conventional technique, using rotational instruments. After the removal of decayed tissues by both techniques a direct restoration was placed using the sandwich technique, placement of glass ionomer modified by resin, adhesive system of a single step and micro hybrid composite resin. Then, after term...
