A comparative evaluation of efficacy of root surface biomodification using MTAD, MTAD+I-PRF on adhesion of fibrin clot to dentin sem study

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.
