Abstract:
Root biomodifiers help in removing the smear layer following mechanical debridement. In this context, we evaluated and compared the in vitro efficacy of MTAD, MTAD+I-PRF, and phosphate-buffered saline-conditioned dentin surfaces by examining the distribution of the fibrin network using scanning electron microscopy. It was concluded that MTAD can serve as a potentially useful root conditioner/biomodifier. Further, the adjunct of MTAD+I-P resulted in more fibrin network linkage on the dentinal surface when compared to MTAD alone which can be of great utility in Advanced Regenerative Therapy.
