INTRODUCTION The retreatability of recent calcium silicate or mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) sealers has not yet been assessed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the removal of 2 MTA-based sealers (MTA Fillapex [Angelus Soluções Odontológicas, Londrina, PR, Brazil] and MTA Plus [Prevest-Denpro, Jammu City, India]) using a rotary retreatment system, considering an epoxy resin sealer (AH Pl...

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı son zamanlarda kullanıma giren mineral trioksit agregat (MTA) esaslı bir kök-kanal dolgu materyali olan MTA Fillapex’in radyo-opasitesinin dört farklı kök-kanal dolgu materyali ile dijital görüntüleme yöntemi kullanılarak karşılaştırılmasıdır. Yöntemler: Çalışmada kök-kanal dolgu maddesi olarak MTA Fillapex, Adseal, AH Plus, Endomethasone ve güta-perka kon kullanılmışt...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to compare in vitro the antimicrobial activity of different root canal sealers against Enterococcus faecalis, prior and subsequent to setting. MATERIAL AND METHODS Agar diffusion test (ADT) was used for evaluating the antibacterial activity of non-set sealer while the direct contact test (DCT) was used for after setting. RESULTS ADT: Except for To...

The aim of this study was to establish the degree of tooth crown staining by commonly used endodontic sealers. Crown discolorations by tooth canal sealers [AH Plus (Dentsply DeTrey Gmbh, Konstanz, Germany); Endofill (Produits Dentaires SA, Vevey, Switzerland); Apexit (Dentsply DeTrey Gmbh, Konstanz, Germany); and MTA Fillapex (Angelus, Londrina, Brazil)] were tested on extracted human premolars...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the bond strength of Photo-Activated Disinfection (PAD) system to dentin with different root canal sealers by using a push-out test design. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 30 extracted mandibular premolar teeth with single and straight roots were used. The crowns were removed and the root canals were prepared by using ProTaper rotar...

Introduction: Optimal radiopacity is one of the properties required for a root canal sealer that helps the distinction between the sealer and surrounding anatomic structures and evaluation of the quality of root filling. So, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the radiopacity of six root canal sealers at different focal distances. Materials and Methods: In this in vitro study, six endodo...

Objective: The purpose of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness various root canal sealers in reducing postoperative pain and need for analgesics. Methods: asymptomatic necrosis apical periodontitis 60 single-rooted teeth were studied by randomly assigning them 2experimental groups (n=30) according sealer: AH Plus MTA Fillapex. Two appointments needed complete endodontic treatment, ca...

This study evaluated the cytotoxicity, antimicrobial and physicochemical properties of root canal sealers incorporated with phytotherapic Uncaria tomentosa (UT). Unmodified AH Plus (Dentsply, DeTrey, Germany) MTA Fillapex (Angelus, Londrina, Brazil) were used as controls. UT was into Fillapex, at concentrations 2% 5% total weight these (w/w). Flowability, setting time, solubility following ISO ...

UNLABELLED Some manufacturers have recently added specific components to improve the ease of handling and insertion material properties of MTA in order to create MTA-based sealers. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the healing of periapical lesions in canine teeth after a single session of endodontic treatment with MTA Fillapex® compared with Sealapex® or Endo-CPM-Sealer®. MAT...
