Does the biomineralization ability of mineral trioxide aggregate and Portland cement on dentin enhance the push-out strength?
It was concluded that the biomineralization process positively influenced the push-out bond strength of the cements, particularly the MTA groups.
Determination of fusion level by direct observation and palpation of the anatomic landmarks is not reliable in patients who have had or require decompressive procedures. A lateral radiograph should be routinely obtained for accurate identification of the level to be fused.
