Neutrosophic method for determining the prevalence of apical perforation sealing with Biodentine® and MTA

Abstract

An apical perforation is an abnormal communication between the canals and the external surface of the tooth of an iatrogenic or pathological nature. The use of Biodentine® and MTA are an example of how technology can intervene in accident management. The objective of this research is to develop a neutrosophic method using expert criteria to determine the prevalence and clinical results between Tricalcium Silicate (Biodentine®) and MTA. Based on the results obtained with the implementation of the neutrosophic method, both Biodentine® and MTA are materials used for the repair of apical perforations that have fulfilled their function. However, Biodentine® has proven to be better than MTA when it comes to application, handling and exposure time. The results indicate that Biodentine® is a novel material with properties that facilitate the operator's manipulation in difficult-to-access media, and allows correct therapeutics to be achieved in short periods of time, while MTA is a good material that helps with long-term recovery process.
