calcium hydroxide is the most widely used intracanal medicament in endodontics, which should be removed prior to permanent root canal filling to minimize its intervention with the bonding of endodontic sealers. this ex-vivo study aimed to evaluate the effect of pretreatment with calcium hydroxide on the bond strength of resilon/epiphany self etch (se) to the radicular dentin after removing the ...

OBJECTIVE This study investigated the effect of different endodontic irrigant solutions and resin cement systems on the bond strength of cemented fiber posts. METHODS Sixty human single-rooted anterior teeth were sectioned transversely at 2 mm incisal to the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ). The roots were treated endodontically, and teeth were distributed into six groups: group A, includes 5.25...

OBJECTIVES Several adhesive systems are available for cementation of fibre posts into the root canal. The aim of the present study was to investigate the push-out bond strengths of quartz fibre posts to root dentin with the use of different total-etch and self-adhesive resin cements. STUDY DESIGN Ninety single-rooted human premolars were endodontically treated and standardized post-spaces wer...

To evaluate the effects of thermocycling (500 cycles, 5°C/55°C) on the push-out bond strength of calcium silicate based cements including WMTA, Nano-WMTA, and Bioaggregate to root dentin. Forty-eight dentin slices were prepared and divided into 3 groups (n = 16) and filled with Angelus WMTA, Nano-WMTA, or Bioaggregate. After incubation, half of the samples were thermocycled while the other half...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Correct proportioning and mixing are essential to ensure cements attain their optimum physical properties. PURPOSE The aim of this experimental study was to evaluate the influence of various mixing techniques including manual, mechanical mixing, and ultrasonic vibration on push-out bond strength of calcium enriched mixture (CEM). MATERIALS AND METHOD Ninety 2-mm-thi...

AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of chlorhexidine and ethanol application on the push-out bond strength and bond durability of fiber posts cemented with an etch-and-rinse adhesive system/resin cement to intraradicular dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-four bovine roots were shaped for the cementation of a fiberglass post and received the application of 37% phosphoric aci...

The aim of this study was to assess the influence of sealer and light-curing unit on regional bond strength of resin composite to the weakened roots. Ninety roots of incisors were experimentally weakened, subjected to biomechanical preparation and filled with either Endofill, AH Plus or MTA Fillapex The roots were desobturated e reinforced with resin composite and fiber post light-activated wit...
