Popis: The presence of blood contamination could affect the chemical characterization of mineral trioxide aggregates as endodontic repair material during surgical approach. The aim of this study was to assess and compare the chemical characterization of two white mineral trioxide aggregates (ProRoot and Angelus) mixed with blood versus water. ProRoot and Angelus were mixed with either distilled water, fresh human blood, or diluted blood and analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The same materials were packed inside holes in dentin blocks for scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray. Gray Portland cement was used as a control. The infrared spectra of unhydrate powders showed an increase in alite in ProRoot and Angelus, belite in Portland cement, and calcium hydroxide in Angelus. Upon hydration, changes in these bands were detected. Energy-dispersive X-ray displayed significantly higher calcium, aluminum, and phosphorous in hydrated Angelus and silicon in hydrated ProRoot (p
