Eighteen cylindrical molds, similar to moulds that were used for the first part, were provided and divided into three groups of six (n=6). Bismuth oxide with a mean particle size of 10 μm (Sigma-Aldrich, 223891 CAS Number: 1304-76-3), 200 nm (Inframat Advanced Materials. Stock 83N-0801), and 120 nm (US Research Nanomaterials, Stock US3788) was added to ProRoot WMTA [Special edition, without radiopacifier], (DENTSPLY Tulsa Dental Specialties, Tulsa, OK) to create a CSC with 20% (wt%) nano-size bismuth oxide in each of the groups. After the addition of bismuth oxide to each group, WMTA was mixed with distilled water according to manufacturer instruction, placed inside cylindrical moulds by hand condenser and hand pressure, and set at 95% humidity for 48 hours.
Proroot wmta
Manufactured by Dentsply
Sourced in Switzerland, France
ProRoot WMTA is a calcium silicate-based dental restorative material. It is designed for use in endodontic procedures and as a pulp capping agent. The product's core function is to provide a biocompatible and sealing material for root canal and pulp treatments.

Simple randomization was performed for both the tooth and the biomaterial group depending on a set of randomized numbers generated with a computer using Matlab version 8.0 (https://nl.mathworks.com/products/matlab.html , accessed on 10 July 2021, The Mathworks Inc., Natick, MA, USA) software. The randomization list was concealed in a sealed envelope. The chosen tooth was randomly allocated by an independent individual (S.R) to one of the two groups: the Biodentine (Septodont, Saint Maur des Faussés, France) group or the ProRoot WMTA (Dentsply, Tulsa Dental, OK, USA) group. The other tooth was automatically allocated to the other group. All teeth were coded with an eight-digit code, where the first four digits were coded for the sheep number and the last four digits were coded for the tooth number and the biomaterial used. These unique codes ensured that the assessors (oral pathologists) were blinded to the type of treatment performed. A single precalibrated well-experienced operator (L.M) performed all the intervention and was blinded to the treatment group until the placement of the biomaterial.
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
