The aim of this study was to asses the calcium release and pH of three root canal sealers. pH and calcium release of three root canal sealers Apexit, Sealapex and Vitapex, were assessed at 30 and 60 min, and 7 days after spatulation. After manipulation, the sealers were placed in tubes and immersed in sealed glass flasks containing 10ml of deionized water and stored at 37°C. Tubes were removed ...

INTRODUCTION Endodontic sealers are in direct contact with periradicular tissues and play a critical role in regeneration and pathogenesis of periradicular diseases. The aim of this study was to compare cytotoxicity of four different types of sealers including AH plus, Sankin, Tubliseal EWT and Apexit as well as their effect on cytokine release of L929 fibroblasts. MATERIALS AND METHODS In th...

UNLABELLED The goal of this in vitro study was to evaluate the relative biocompatibility of four endodontic sealers on the cell culture of the human fibroblast through cytotoxicity. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study four endodontics sealers was used GuttaFlow (Roeko)silicone based sealer, AH plus (De Tray-DENTSPLY) epoxy resin based, Apexit (Vivadent) calcium hydroxide based and Endorez (Ul...

Microbes are considered as the primary etiologic agents in endodontic diseases. The ways of reducing these agents are: root canal debridement, antimicrobial irrigants and antibacterial filling materials. But the complexity of the pulp canal system presents a problem for chemo mechanical preparation. One of the factors determining the success of endodontic treatment is the sealing material with ...

Background The aim of this study was to compare the in vitro effects of four different root canal sealers on the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth. Materials and Methods Seventy-five freshly extracted human mandibular premolars were used for the study. Teeth were divided into five groups based on type of root canal sealers used. Gutta-percha was used for all the samples: Gro...

Hinokitiol displays potent antimicrobial activity. It has been used in toothpaste and oral-care gel to improve the oral lichen planus and reduce halitosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of 3 different dental root canal sealers with hinokitiol (sealers+H) and their physical and biological effects. AH Plus (epoxy amine resin-based, AH), Apexit Plus (calcium-hydr...
