Comparitive Evaluation of Novel Desensitising Agents on Dentinal Tubule Occlusion-A Scanning Electron Microscopic Study

Comparative evaluation of NovaMin desensitizer and Gluma desensitizer on dentinal tubule occlusion: a scanning electron microscopic study

PURPOSE In this study, the effect of calcium sodium phosphosilicate (NovaMin) desensitizing agent, which is a powder-based system, and hydroxyethyl methacrylate and glutaraldehyde (Gluma desensitizer), which is liquid-based system, on dentinal tubule occlusion was analyzed by scanning electron microscope. The effects of the above two along with one control group were compared to determine the m...

Scanning electron microscopic evaluation of dentinal tubule penetration of Epiphany in severely curved root canals

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare the depth of dentinal tubule sealer penetration in the apical thirds of severely curved root canals obturated with Resilon/Epiphany self-etch (SE) or gutta-percha/AH Plus using scanning electron microscopy. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 34 extracted human mandibular molars with 25-40° curvature of the mesial root canal were selected for th...

Effects of desensitizing agents on dentinal tubule occlusion.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the features of dentinal tubules occlusion following application of three commercially available desensitizing agents: potassium oxalate-based / Oxa-Gel (OX), HEMA and glutaraldehyde-based / Gluma Desensitizer (GD) and acidulated phosphate fluoride-based / Nupro Gel (AF). Buccal cervical areas of twenty-four extracted human third molars were smoothed and we...
