Abstract
Introduction: The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the effect of incorporating silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) of herbal origin into mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) on the push-out bond strength (PBS) and compressive strength (CS) in simulated furcal area perforations.
Materials and methods: In this in vitro study, simulated furcal area perforations (1.3 mm in diameter and 2 mm in depth) were created in 40 extracted human lower molar teeth, which were divided into two groups (n=20): MTA alone and MTA combined with AgNPs (2% wt). Using a universal testing machine, PBS was evaluated by performing push-out tests, while CS was assessed using cylindrical specimens. The normal distribution of data was checked using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, and statistical analysis was performed using two-way ANOVA.
Results: The CS results showed no significant difference between the MTA group at 4 and 21 days (P=0.297), but a significant difference was observed in the nanosilver/MTA group (P=0.013). However, there was no significant difference in the push-out bond strength among the study groups (P>0.05).
Conclusion: The incorporation of herbal origin silver nanoparticles did not significantly affect the PBS or CS of MTA.
期刊介绍:
The Iranian Endodontic Journal (IEJ) is an international peer-reviewed biomedical publication, the aim of which is to provide a scientific medium of communication for researchers throughout the globe. IEJ aims to publish the highest quality articles, both clinical and scientific, on all aspects of Endodontics. The journal is an official Journal of the Iranian Center for Endodontic Research (ICER) and the Iranian Association of Endodontists (IAE). The Journal welcomes articles related to the scientific or applied aspects of endodontics e.g. original researches, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, review articles, clinical trials, case series/reports, hypotheses, letters to the editor, etc. From the beginning (i.e. since 2006), the IEJ was the first open access endodontic journal in the world, which gave readers free and instant access to published articles and enabling them faster discovery of the latest endodontic research.
