Abstrakt: Introduction: Mixing mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) with different proportions of propylene glycol (PG) improves its handling property. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of PG on MTA-dentin push-out bond strength.
Methods: Seventy-five 2-mm-thick midroot sections were prepared from single-rooted human extracted teeth. The lumen of each slice was enlarged with Gates-Glidden burs. The slices were randomly divided into 3 groups (n = 25). In each group, 0.3 mL of the liquid was mixed with 1 g MTA (Angelus, Londrina, Brazil). The liquid vehicles used in groups 1-3 were 100% distilled water (DW), 20% PG-80% DW, and 100% PG, respectively. After incubation, the push-out strength of the samples was measured using a universal testing machine. The samples were then cut in halves and examined under a stereomicroscope to determine the failure pattern. One-way analysis of variance followed by the Tukey post hoc test was used to compare the push-out strength among groups.
Results: There were statistically significant differences between groups (P < .001). The push-out strength in group 1 (DW) was significantly lower than groups 2 and 3 (P < .001 and P = .022, respectively). However, there was no significant difference between groups 2 (DW-PG) and 3 (PG).
Conclusions: Mixing MTA with PG increased its push-out bond strength to dentin. In the present study, the most suitable ratio was 80% DW-20% PG.
