Abstract Introduction: Thickness of a coronal seal barrier is an important factor for preventing microleakage. The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the sealing ability of two different thicknesses of calcium Enriched Mixture (CEM) cement as a coronal seal barrier.   Methods: A total of 40 canals of extracted maxillary central incisors were instrumented and obturated using lateral compa...

Background: Prompt L-Pop is a self-etching dentin adhesive, which is recommended to use with both compomers and composite resins. The aims of this investigation were to determine and compare the microleakage, shear bond strength, and shear push out strength of composite and compomer to dentin with application of Prompt L-Pop as adhesive system. Methods: After application of Prompt L-Pop on the ...

Introduction: Despite the advanced formulations of resin composites, microleakage is still among commonest causes clinical failure these restorations. We evaluated effect surface coating and laser pretreatment on Class V composite restorations in primary teeth. Methods: Sixty extracted molar teeth having intact lingual or facial surfaces were randomly allocated into control, G-Coat Plus coating...

introduction: the purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the sealing ability of the readymade temporary filling and hand mixed materials by assessing coronal microleakage. materials & methods: standardized access cavities were prepared in 80 intact human permanent premolar teeth. they were divided randomly into four experimental groups (n=20). the teeth were restored using one of the te...

Aim: To comparatively evaluate various Intra-Orifice barriers (IOB) namely; Cention N (Ivoclar Vivadent), Biodentine (Septodont), Light Cured GIC (GC Gold Label 2LC) and Tetric Flow Vivadent) for their effects on the microleakage of endodontically treated teeth.
 Study Design: In-vitro study.
 Place Study: Department Endodontics conservative dentistry, Himachal dental college, Sundarn...

INTRODUCTION Coronal leakage is one of the constant concerns in routine dental practice. It is one of the factors responsible for the failure of root canal therapy. Permanent restorations should be given as soon as possible after the completion of root canal therapy. If unavoidable, provisional restoration should be given in such a way that it maximally reduced the leakage of microorganisms and...

introduction: the purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate coronal microlenkage in anterior weakend teeth after root canal therapy, reinforced with different tooth-coloured material and frc post. methods and materials: a total 48 extracted intact central incisor were randomly divided into four experimental groups (n=12). all specimens were endodontically treated using lateral condensat...
