The purpose of this study was to determine the sealing ability of three different sealers and to compare the sealing ability of three sealers. Thirty single rooted mandibular first premolar teeth were used. The crowns were removed at the cemento -enamel junction and root canals were prepared to a # 35 K-file. The teeth were randomly divided into three groups, A, K and R. Each group consisted of...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this ex vivo study was to determine the releasing characteristics and doxycycline dentinal diffusion of AH26 sealer-doxycycline combination from apical 3mm of tooth root and apical foramen. MATERIALS AND METHODS One-hundred and two recently extracted single-rooted human teeth were decoronated and prepared with #3 and #4 Gates-Glidden drills and rotary Mtwo files. S...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of different solutions used for final irrigation on sealer penetration into dentinal tubules. METHODS Thirty-two recently extracted human mandibular premolar teeth were treated with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) irrigation. The samples were divided into 4 groups according to the final irrigation solution used: (1) the EDTA group...

large number of clinical cases in endodontics, however, cytotoxicity of such sealers must be tested before their validation as fi lling materials. the aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxic effect of a new copaiba oil-based root canal sealer (biosealer [bs]) on osteoblast-like osteo-1 cells. materials and methods: the experimental groups were formed according to the culture medium cond...

introduction: retreatment is performed in teeth with unsuccessful root canal therapy or persistent apical lesion. the most important factor for achieving successful retreatment is thorough cleaning and reshaping. niti files and rotary instruments are widely used for the removal of obturatants. this study compared the ability of mtwo and d-race retreatment systems to remove residual gutta-percha...

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...

It is an "in vitro" study to evaluate the sealing ability of 3 root canal sealers using a dye leakage/clearing method. 40 lower incisors were instrumented by step-back technique and divided into 4 groups. The teeth filled with lateral condensation guta-percha varying sealer. Fill Canal, Sealer 26, N-Rickert tested compared control group in which guttapercha cones no seater used. Linear penetrat...

Successful final restoration is important for the long term success of root canal treatment. A lack of adhesion in a final restoration could result in apical or coronal leakage that causes problems in the root canal treatment. Endodontically-treated teeth frequently require extensive restorations with post-core system. ABSTRACT The Influence of AH-26 and Zinc Oxide-Eugenol Root Canal Sealer on ...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to compare the subcutaneous tissue responses of freshly mixed or set endodontic root canal sealers ( i.e. roekoseal, ah26, ah plus) in wistar albino rats. materials and methods: seventy-two male albino rats weighing 200-250g were used. the animals were randomly divided into six groups of 12 rats each. root canal sealers were implanted in subcutaneous ...

introduction: the aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxicity of a new nano zinc-oxide eugenol (nzoe) sealer in comparison with ah-26 and pulpdent root canal sealers. methods and materials: the l929 mouse fibroblast cells were cultivated and incubated for 24, 48 or 72 h with different dilutions (1/1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 and 1/32) of culture media previously exposed to either of the test ...
