Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has been shown to possess excellent sealing ability when tested with dye, bacteria, and a fluid filtration technique. Endotoxin, a component of the cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria, has been proposed to play a role in the pathogenesis of periradicular lesions. This study used a modified Limulus Amebocyte Lysate test for the presence of endotoxin as a tracer and compared the sealing ability of Super-EBA, IRM, amalgam, and MTA. The results showed that MTA permitted less endotoxin leakage than IRM and amalgam at 1, 2, 6, and 12 wk (p < 0.05), and leaked less than Super-EBA at 2 and 12 wk (p < 0.05).
当采用染料、细菌和流体过滤技术进行测试时,三氧化矿物凝聚体(MTA)已被证明具有出色的封闭能力。内毒素是革兰氏阴性菌细胞壁的一种成分,有人提出它在根尖周病变的发病机制中起作用。本研究使用改良的鲎试剂检测法来检测内毒素的存在作为示踪剂,并比较了Super-EBA、IRM、银汞合金和MTA的封闭能力。结果显示,在1周、2周、6周和12周时,MTA的内毒素渗漏比IRM和银汞合金少(p<0.05),在2周和12周时,其渗漏比Super-EBA少(p<0.05)。
