BACKGROUND Ultrasonic vibrations are used to remove a cemented post from a root canal requiring endodontic retreatment. Various results have been reported from the studies that evaluated the effect of ultrasonic instruments in removing the posts cemented with resin cements. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ultrasonic energy on the retention of prefabricated metal post cemente...

OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the effect of two different eugenol-based root canal sealers on the retention of prefabricated metal posts luted with adhesive resin cement. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty prefabricated ParaPosts randomly divided among three groups of 10 each were luted into extracted single-rooted teeth with adhesive resin cement. Two of the groups had been obturated with Gutta-P...

introduction: root canal preparation is an important process in endodontic therapy. nickel-titanium (niti) rotary file system can be used in single length technique (simultaneous technique) without early coronal enlargement, as well as in crown-down method. the purpose of this in vitro study was to compare single length with crown-down methods’ shaping ability using mtwo niti files . materials ...

AIM This study was undertaken to examine the effect of root canal (RT) sealers content and the cleaning procedure of RT walls on bond strength (BS) of a fiber reinforced composite (FRC) post cemented with resin-based or zinc phosphate cement. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty bovine roots were divided into 2 groups (n = 20) and obturated with gutta-percha points plus Sealer 26 sealer or gutta-perch...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of canal dryness on the push-out bond strength of two resin sealers (AH-Plus and Adseal) and a bioceramic sealer (Endosequence BC sealer) after canal irrigation with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and chlorhexidine (CHX). METHODS AND MATERIALS A total of 18 extracted human premolars were used. Canals were prepared and were di...

Introduction Dentinal canal walls are in direct contact with endodontic sealers prior to post space preparation and luting cements after post space preparation. This direct contact may affect the bond strength of intraradicular posts to root dentin. This study aimed to assess the effect of three different sealers on the bond strength of fiber posts to root dentin. Methods and Materials The ca...

In recent years, calcium silicate cements have been introduced. The purpose of this study is to analyze the main differences between silicate-based and epoxy resin-based cements, analyzing scientific literature last year highlight advantages for predictable clinical use. Data collected from included studies were used in order different features: chemical-physical properties, cytotoxicity cell m...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to compare the setting time and post-setting solubility, flow, film thickness and dimensional changes of AH26 root canal sealer with AH26-Antibiotic combination. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was performed according to British standard BS 6876 (2001) which tests the physicochemical properties of endodontic sealers. Three samples of each of tested ...
