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...

Pulpal necrosis of an immature permanent tooth with an open apex poses a challenge for the clinician. The conventional apexification technique using calcium hydroxide has yielded short-term success, but this technique has inevitable shortcomings. Hence, this case series aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of using bioceramics (iRoot BP) or mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) for partial pulpotomie...

The present study investigated the effect of iRoot Fast Set root repair material (iRoot FS) on the proliferation, migration and differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). The hDPSCs were treated with eluates of iRoot FS at concentrations of 0.2 and 2 mg/mL, referred to as FS0.2 and FS2, respectively, and Biodentine (BD; Septodont, Saint Maur des Faussés, France) eluates at the co...

AIM This randomized clinical trial evaluated clinical sign/symptoms as well as histological pulp reactions in terms of inflammation and mineralized bridge formation after partial pulpotomy of sound human premolars and placement of a bioceramic paste (iRoot BP) or tooth-colored ProRoot MTA as pulp-covering biomaterials. METHODOLOGY Twenty-four human sound premolars were randomly allocated into...

Biomaterials have evolved over the past three decades and are relatively specialized, highly biocompatible, but low-strength dental materials. Bioactive materials can interact with living tissues or systems. The newly emerging bioactive category of has expanded clinical uses in restorative dentistry endodontics. Examples Calcium Silicate containing Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (Portland cement); ...

Background Recently a new generation of endodontic sealers has been developed based on calcium silicate as MTA Fillapex, Endoseal MTA, Total Fill BC Sealer, EndoSequence BC Sealer, iRoot SP, Endo CPM sealer, MTA-Angelus and ProRoot Endo Sealer. A review of literature was conducted to discuss the composition, physicochemical properties, and clinical perspectives of calcium silicate based sealers...

introduction: this study compared the apical sealing ability of a bioceramic based root canal repair filling material (iroot fs) with mineral trioxide aggregate (mta). methods and materials: forty single-canal teeth were prepared and randomly divided into two experimental groups ( n =18) and two control groups ( n =2). teeth in experimental groups were retrofilled with either mta or iroot fs. a...
