A Comparison of Coronal Tooth Discoloration Elicited by Various Endodontic Reparative Materials

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate coronal tooth discoloration of ProRoot MTA, white ProRoot MTA, EndoSequence Root Repair Material, MTA-Angelus, and Biodentine when used in an ex-vivopulpotomy model. Methods: Freshly extracted mandibular third molars were collected and stored in 1%Chloramine-T solution. Teeth were randomly assigned into 6 groups (N=15) and stored individually in phosphate-buffered saline at 37C in 100% humidity. A standardized endodontic access was made in 5groups. A 3mm-thick increment of reparative material was placed on the pulpal floor, covered by glass ionomer, and restored with composite. Color (CIE L*a*b*) was recorded with the Vita Easy Shade spectrophotometer on the mid-buccal surface at baseline, and after access preparation, material placement, 1, 7, 30, and 60 days.
