Considering the experience of our research group of more than twenty years with studies of properties and development of biomaterials, this project aims to develop tricalcium silicate repair biomaterial, and define protocols for dentin and gutta-percha treatment aiming at better sealing after using bioceramic root canal sealers. Material properties under different conditions will be also …
Our previous results from Research grant (Process: 2015 / 03437-6) lead us to the current proposal that aims to advance in the evaluation of the endodontic treatment procedures by using Computerized Microtomography, and in the development of repair materials. The proposed studies are divided into 5 subprojects that aim to evaluate new instruments, techniques and kinematics of root canal p…
Constant evolution is observed in the development of techniques and kinematics of root canal preparation using Nickel-Titanium instruments, the root canal filling and repair materials and obturation techniques. The proposed studies aim to evaluate the preparation of oval root canals using the rotating or reciprocating kinematic, filling techniques, and physicochemical and biological prope…

The bioceramic materials of Angelus are handled from the clinker, manufactured with different particle sizes. The aim of this study will be to evaluate the morphological, physicochemical and biological properties of clinker with different particle sizes (2 to 30 µm or less than 2 µm) and the new root repair cements (Bio-C Repair and Bio-C Pulpo) and root canal sealers (Bio-C Sealer) based…
Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) and analysis software have shown great evolution. The aim of this study will be to evaluate the quality of the obturation and dentinal thickness after root canal preparation and retreatment by CBCT using the analysis software e-Vol DX (CDT Software, Bauru, SP, Brazil) in comparison to micro-computed tomography (micro -CT). Subproject 1: oval root canal…
The immersion media could influence the evaluation of different bioceramic materials properties. This study will aim to evaluate the effect of immersion media on biocompatibility, bioactivity, and physicochemical properties of bioceramic materials. Different immersion media will be used: distilled water, phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and in vivo model in the subcutaneous tissue of rats…
Apicectomy is the resection of the root apical portion. The root surface should be regular after cutting, without changes in the adaptation of the filling material in the root canal. The aim of this study will be to evaluate the root surface and adaptation of the remaining root-end filling material after apicoectomy performed with a bur or ultrasonic tip. Twenty mandibular incisors will b…

The segmentation of dentomaxillofacial structures in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging is a challenging task, especially due to limited contrast resolution, presence of several types of artifacts, as well as the partial volume effect in CBCT images. Thus, artificial intelligence (AI)-driven algorithms have been proposed for automated segmentation of anatomical structures and te…
Subproject 1: This study aims to assess root fractures/cracks in CBCT images with and without metalstructures within and outside of the field of view using different devices. An anthropomorphicphantom covered with Mix-D material simulating soft tissue will be manufactured. Three sets willrepresent different clinical conditions: 1. Control group - human mandible free of metal andcontaining…
The aim of this study will be to evaluate the influence of different scanning parameters and analysis softwares, using microcomputed tomography (micro-CT), for evaluating the properties of repair materials. Maxillary premolars with two separate roots will be used. Following root-end resection and apical preparation, the teeth will be divided into three groups according to the following ro…
The aim of this study is to evaluate the chemical microstructure and sealing ability of four experimental MTA-based root canal sealers with nano and micro particles of zirconium oxide or niobium oxide in comparison to MTA Fillapex, Sealapex and AH Plus. Material characterization will be performed using a combination of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with X-ray energy dispersive (EDX…
