background & aim: antibacterial effect of the sealers which are used in root canal therapy is a factor which increases the rate of success in root canal therapy. the aim of this study was to compare the antibacterial effect of three sealers (zoe, ah26, dorifill) on two bacterial species, staphylococcus aureuse and streptococcus mutans immediately after mixing and one week after mixing. methods ...

introduction: optimal radiopacity is one of the properties required for a root canal sealer that helps the distinction between the sealer and surrounding anatomic structures and evaluation of the quality of root filling. so, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the radiopacity of six root canal sealers at different focal distances. materials and methods: in this in vitro study, six endodon...

An in vitro study evaluated the effects of barrier materials on mechanical properties of a visible light-cured composite restorative. The composite was cured and aged over a widely used cavity liner (Dycal), various cements (Fleck's, Durelon, Vitrabond, ZOE B & T) and free eugenol and tested at seven and 28 days. The properties of interest were tensile stress (strength) at rupture, compressive ...

BACKGROUND The introduction of different interocclusal recording materials has put clinicians in dilemma that which material should be used in routine clinical practice for precise recording and transferring of accurate existing occlusal records for articulation of patient's diagnostic or working casts in the fabrication of good satisfactory prosthesis. In the era of developing world of dentist...
