Chemical analysis of mineral trioxide agregate mixed with hyaluronic acids as an accelerant.

ABSTRACT:

Materials and method

Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has many clinical applications in dentistry; the main drawback is the long setting. The main objective is to investigate and compare the chemical effect of using two commercially available hyaluronic acid hydrogels (HA) instead of distilled water for mixing MTA as an accelerant of setting time. Test materials were divided into three groups; Group 1: (control) mixing MTA with distilled water supplied by the manufacturer; Group 2: mixing MTA with a hybrid cooperative complex of high and low molecular weight HA (Profhilo®); Group 3: mixing MTA with High molecular weight / non-cross-linked HA (Jalupro®). Mixing time, and setting time (initial and final) were determined, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, Energy-dispersive X-ra
