Comparative Analysis of Antimicrobial Properties and Physical Properties of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate Mixed With Distilled Water, Chlorhexidine, and Sodium Hypochlorite Solutions: An In Vitro Study
MTA mixed with 0.2% CHX provides superior antimicrobial properties, making it suitable for enhanced microbial control in endodontic treatments. Conversely, MTA mixed with 0.12% CHX offers optimal long-term compressive strength. These findings guide selecting MTA formulations to maximize performance based on clinical needs.
