RESUMEN
The aim of this study was to measure the shear bond strength (SBS) of different adhesive systems to calcium silicate-based materials (Biodentine and RetroMTA). Eighty cylindrical acrylic blocks, with a hole (5.0 mm diameter, 2.0 mm height) in each, were prepared. The holes were filled with Biodentine (BD) and RetroMTA (RMTA), and the specimens were divided into 2 groups. Each group was classified into 4 subgroups: Clearfil™ SE (CSE) ; AQ bond (AQ) ; All bond universal Self-etch (ABU-SE) ; and All bond universal Total-etch (ABU-TE). After the application of different adhesive systems, composite resin (Z350) was applied over BD and RMTA. The SBS was measured using a universal testing machine, and the data were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis test and the Mann-Whitney test. The highest and lowest values of SBS were observed for BD-ABU-SE and RMTA-AQ, respectively. No significant differences were found in the SBS between ABU-TE and ABU-SE and between ABU-TE and CSE to BD and RMTA. According to the data, BD showed a higher SBS than did RMTA when BD and RMTA are compared in the same adhesive agents. Further, among all groups, composite resin with ABU-SE showed better bond strength to BD and RMTA.

Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) provides a very good sealing, acceptable biocompatibility, dentin bridge formation and osteo-inductive effect. However, MTA has a few drawbacks. RetroMTA including calcium-zirconia complex has been developed to overcome drawbacks of MTA, especially long setting time and difficult handling characteristics. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of RetroMTA on biocompatibility, osteogenic differentiation and mineralization in MC3T3-E1 cells compared with conventional MTA. Cytotoxicity was assessed by WST-1 assay. The gene expression of osteogenic markers was detected by real-time PCR. ALP activity and mineralization behavior were evaluated using ALP and alizarin red staining. There was no statistically significant difference between ProRoot MTA and RetroMTA with material extracts at dilutions of 1/4, 1/10 and 1/50 in cell viability assay. Expression of osteogenic markers in both ProRoot MTA and RetroMTA groups was significantly higher than in control group. In the mineralization assay, RetroMTA showed significantly higher formation of mineralized nodules than in control. In conclusion, RetroMTA promotes osteogenic differentiation and potential mineralization. It appears to be a potential alternative to ProRoot MTA as a root-end filling material.
