INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to evaluate the retreatability of root canals obturated with gutta-percha (GP) and three different endodontic sealers [iRoot SP (bioceramic sealer), MTA Fillapex (MTA-based sealer) and AH-26 (epoxy resin-based sealer)] using the ProTaper Universal Retreatment (PTR) system. METHODS AND MATERIALS Forty extracted single-rooted human teeth were prepared with...

INTRODUCTION The main goal of endodontic treatment is elimination of bacteria and their by-products from infected root canals. This study compared the antibacterial effect of two different sealers, AH 26 and MTA Fillapex, on 4 microorganisms 24, 48 and 72 h and 7 days after mixing. METHODS AND MATERIALS The microorganisms used in this study consisted of Lactobacillus acidophilus (ATCC 4356), ...

Aim: The aim of the study was to compare the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth obturated with gutta percha using four different root canal sealers (MTA Fillapex, AH plus, Real Seal SE and Tubli Seal). Materials and methods: Sixty freshly extracted single rooted human mandibular premolar teeth were used. After standardizing the root length to 14 mm, the teeth were chemo mechani...

This case report presents a 32 year old male with an oblique fractured maxillary right central incisor. The procedure used to repair the fracture included flap surgery with an intrasulcular incision and endodontic treatment. The root canal was filled with a root canal sealer and gutta-percha. After root canal obturation, fragments were luted with composite resin using a glass fibers post. After...

Successes of endodontic treatment depend on cleaning and shaping of root canal and adequately obturate the prepared root canal space. 1-3 Obturation has historically been achieved with gutta percha and a sealer. The root canal system has many variations in anatomy such as irregularly shaped canals, lateral and accessory canals, anastomoses between canals and a variety of fins. All this leads to...

We describe the successful use of a combination of nonsurgical root canal treatment and ultrasonic irrigation for collaborative management of a maxillary left lateral incisor with perforation of the apical third of the root. During the endodontic treatment procedure, the ultrasonically activated tip was used for intracanal irrigation. The area of perforation in the apical third of the root and ...

AIM The purpose of this study was to test a new root canal sealer (Epiphany) and 5 other root canal sealers (Diaket, Endomethasone, AH 26, Sealapex, Sultan) for their antimicrobial effect on Enterococcus faecalis. MATERIALS AND METHODS The antimicrobial effect of 6 root canal sealers was tested by the agar diffusion method. The freshly mixed sealers were placed in prepared wells of agar plate...

Objective: To investigate the influence of intraradicular moisture conditions on bond strength 3 different endodontic cements in coronal, middle, and apical thirds root canal. Materials Methods: 90 single-rooted teeth were instrumented with a reciprocal R#50 file randomly divided into experimental groups: Dry group: dry canals absorbent paper tips; Moist suction syringe capillary tip coupled to...

context this study aimed to provide an overview of the literature on the radiopacity of dental materials in order to emphasize its importance. evidence acquisition english-language literature was investigated using manual and electronic searches for the terms “radiopacity,” “dental material,” “cement,” “composite,” “ceramic,” “endodontic root canal sealer,” “bone graft,” and “acrylic resin” in ...

Context: Use of root canal solvents has increased the success rate endodontic retreatment and it made procedure faster simpler. Aims: During retreatment, a solvent facilitates removal obturation material sealer by softening it, so as to obtain free debris microorganisms. Hence an invitro study was done evaluate compare dissolving effect RC Solve, Eucalyptus oil G-sol on AH Plus Root Canal Seale...
