The purpose of this investigation was to study, in vitro, the antifungal effect of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) using a tube-dilution test. MTA was tested freshly mixed and after 24 h set on Candida albicans. The tested MTA was incubated with C. albicans for 1 h, 24 h, and 3 days. Results showed that the freshly mixed MTA was effective in killing the tested fungi after 1 day of contact, whereas the 24-h set MTA was effective after 3 days of incubation. It was concluded that MTA (freshly…

Assessment of antifungal activity of Proroot mineral trioxide aggregate and mineral trioxide aggregate-Angelus
TLDR
MTA-angelus proved to be an effective antifungal agent compared to Pro root-end filling materials, ProRoot Mineral trioxide aggregate and MTA-Angelus, against Candida albicans using tube-dilution test.
ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF GREY MINERAL TRIOXIDE AGGREGATE (MTA) MIXED WITH DIFFERENT VEHICLES
TLDR
In conclusion, substituting 0.2% Chlorhexidine gluconate for water enhanced the antimicrobial activity of Grey MTA.
The effects of different concentrations of chlorhexidine gluconate on the antimicrobial properties of mineral trioxide aggregate and calcium enrich mixture
TLDR
The mixture of MTA and CEM with different concentration of CHX significantly increased the antibacterial activity and the antib bacterial activity of the materials increased through time.

TLDR
It was found that MTA and chlorhexidine inhibited the growth in agar of C. albicans within three days, while calcium hydroxide inhibited colony formation.

TLDR
The regular isolation of yeasts, also in pure culture, indicates that yeasts may have an important role in cases of apical periodontitis persisting after conventional treatment.
Clinical applications of mineral trioxide aggregate.
TLDR
Clinical procedures for application of MTA in capping of pulps with reversible pulpitis, apexification, repair of root perforations nonsurgically and surgically, as well as its use as a root-end filling material are described.
