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...

handling of endodontic sealers is greatly dependent on their elasticity and flow ability. we compared the viscoelastic properties of three root canal sealers.ah plus (dentsply, de trey, konstanz, germany), endofill (dentsply hero, petrópolis, rio de janeiro, brazil) and ah26 (dentsply, de trey, konstanz, germany) were mixed according to the manufacturers' instructions. the resulted pastes were ...

to eliminate microorganisms that are responsible for pulpal and periapical infections and to prevent reinfection of the root canal system an effective chemomechanical preparation by irrigants with sustained antimicrobial activity is beneficial. hereby, we evaluated the residual antibacterial activity of mtad after canal obturation at different time intervals.a total of 120 human single-canalled...

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate two commonly used gutta-percha solvents for their effectiveness in dissolving several types of root canal sealers. Seven different sealers (AH26, AH Plus, Diaket, Roekoseal, Sankin Apatite Root Sealer, Sealapex, and Sultan U/P) were used in this study. After mixing according to the manufacturers' directions, each material was syringed into 30 g...

Background and Aim: Tubular penetration of root canal sealers prevents filling material displacement and overgrowth of microorganisms in dentinal tubules. The aim of this study was to compare the tubular penetration of AH26, EasySeal, and SureSeal sealers in single-rooted teeth using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Materials and Methods: Fifty human single-rooted teeth were included in thi...

statement of problem: adhesion to root canal dentin is one of the necessary characteristics of endodontic sealers. mta fillapex (angelus, londria, pr, brazil) is one of the recently introduced mta-based sealer. only a limited number of studies have evaluated the bonding of this sealer to the dentin, with conflicting results. objectives: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the bond strengt...
