title: Effect of super-EBA as a root end filling on healing after replantation.
abstract: The effect of Super-EBA cement as a root-end filling placed in teeth before replantation was examined in eight molar roots in monkeys. After extraction, root ends were resected, the canals contaminated with oral bacteria, root-end cavities prepared, and fillings of Super-EBA placed before replantation. After 8 wk, the jaws were removed and prepared for histological examination. The tissue response to Super-EBA was very mild, with only a few inflammatory cells being observed at the root end of 3 of the 8 roots filled. Previous work showed a similarly mild response to Intermediate Restorative Material and a very much more severe response to amalgam. It is concluded that the tissue response to Super-EBA as a root-end filling is acceptable and considerably more favorable than that to amalgam.
