ABSTRACT

The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the physicochemical properties of gray and white structural and nonstructural Portland cement, gray and white ProRoot MTA and MTA BIO. The water/powder ratio, setting time, solubility and pH (hydrogen-ion potential) changes of the materials were evaluated. Tests followed specification #57 from the American National Standard Institute/ American Dental Association (2000) for endodontic sealing materials and pH was determined by a digital pHmeter. The test results were statistically analyzed by variance analyses for global comparison and by the complementary Tukey's test for pairwise comparisons (5%). Considering the water/powder ratio, no significant difference (p>0.05) was observed among the cements. MTA BIO (33.10±2.30) had the lowest setting time (p<0.05), gray Pro- Root MTA (10.10±2.70) had the highest (p<0.05). White nonstructural Portland cement (2.55±0.08) had the highest solubility (p<0.05), while gray ProRoot MTA (1.03±0.12) had the lowest (p<0.05), although all materials showed solubility values in compliance to ANSI/ADA. No difference (p>0.05) was observed among materials when considering pH evaluation. The pH levels were highly alkaline immediately after immersion in solution, remaining stable throughout the test period. The authors conclude that the cements had similar water/powder proportions. MTA BIO had the shortest setting time and gray ProRoot MTA had the lowest solubility. All cements had similar behavior in the pH analysis.


A proposta desse trabalho foi de avaliar as propriedades fisicoquimicas dos cimentos Portland cinza e branco estrutural e nao estrutural, do ProRoot MTA cinza e branco e do MTA BIO. Foram avaliadas a proporcao po-liquido, tempo de endurecimento, solubilidade e variacao do pH dos cimentos. Os testes seguiram as normas que determinam a especificacao numero 57 da ANSI/ ADA para cimentos obturadores e a variacao de pH foi analisada por meio de pHmetro digital. Os resultados dos testes foram analisados estatisticamente por meio de teste de analise de variancia e pelo teste de Tukey para comparacao entre pares, com nivel de significancia de 5%. Nao foram evidenciaram diferencas estatisticamente significantes (p>0,05) entre os cimentos no que se refere a proporcao po-liquido. O MTA BIO (33,10±2,30) mostrou os menores valores de tempo de endurecimento (p<0,05), enquanto o ProRoot MTA cinza (102,10±2,70) mostrou os maiores resultados (p<0,05). Todos os materiais mostraram valores de solubilidade dentro dos padroes da ANSI/ADA, sendo que o cimento ProRoot MTA cinza (1,03±0,12) apresentou a menor solubilidade (p<0,05) e o Portland branco nao estrutural (2,55±0,08), a maior (p<0,05). No que se refere a variacao do pH, nao foram determinadas diferencas significantes entre os materiais (p>0,05). Os niveis de pH mostraram-se altamente alcalinos, imediatamente apos a imersao em agua, mantendo-se estavel ao longo do periodo de teste. Concluiu-se, que os cimentos estudados tiveram proporcoes po-liquido similares. O MTA BIO apresentou tempo de endurecimento mais curto e a menor solubilidade foi apresentada pelo ProRoot MTA cinza. Todos os cimentos tiveram comportamento semelhante na analise do pH.
