The flow of two zinc oxide-eugenol-based endodontic sealers

The flow of two zinc oxide-eugenol-based endodontic sealers.

BACKGROUND/AIM Endodontic sealers (ES) for obturation are usually prepared with a slight variation of their components both on purpose or unintentionally. Considering that fact, as well as a frequent use of compaction techniques with the applied force to gutta-percha and ES of 1-3 kg, the aim of this study was to investigate the flow of two zinc-oxide eugenol ES in regard to the applied force a...

Radiopacity and flow of different endodontic sealers.

The present study evaluated the radiopacity and flow of different endodontic sealers: AH Plus, Endo CPM, MTA Fillapex, Sealapex, Epiphany, and Epiphany SE. For the radiopacity test, six specimens measuring 10 mm in diameter and 1 mm in thickness were fabricated from each material. They were radiographed on an occlusal film alongside an aluminum step wedge. Radiographs were digitized to determin...

A Spectro Photometric Comparative Evaluation of Apical Sealing Ability of Three Different Sealers; Calcium Hydroxide Based, Resin Based and Zinc Oxide Eugenol Based Sealers

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to quantitatively analyze the amount of dye leakage with AH26, Sealapex and Tubliseal sealers in endodonticaly treated teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 36 extracted mandibular molar specimens were divided into three groups; Group I: Sealapex, Group II: Tubliseal, Group II: AH26 with 12 samples in each group. Standard access cavity and biomechanical ...

Setting Reaction of Zinc Oxide and Eugenol !

Zinc oxide-eugenol mixtures have been used in dentistry for a number of years. The setting mechanism of these mixtures was investigated.
