Aim: This study was designed to investigate the effect of different final irrigation protocols on apical sealing ability bioceramic and epoxy resin-based sealers.
 Materials methods: Thirty human single-rooted mandibular premolars were instrumented using ProTaper Next rotary files. Teeth randomly divided into three groups according regimen; Group I: 5 ml 0.2% CNPs/3 min, II: 2.5 CNPs/1.5 m...

INTRODUCTION The aim of the present study was to evaluate the physicochemical properties of a bioceramic root canal sealer, Endosequence BC Sealer. Radiopacity, pH, release of calcium ions (Ca(2+)), and flow were analyzed, and the results were compared with AH Plus cement. METHODS Radiopacity and flow were evaluated according to ISO 6876/2001 standards. For the radiopacity analysis, metallic ...
