Abstract This study aimed to evaluate, in vitro and vivo, the biocompatibility of experimental methacrylate-based endodontic sealers containing α-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) or nanostructured hydroxyapatite (HAp). Experimental dual-cure with addition α-TCP HAp, at 10%wt were formulated compared AH Plus (AHP). Cell viability was assessed by 3-(4,5-dimethyl-thiazoyl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bro...

Bioceramics are materials which include Alumina, Zirconia, Bioactive glass, Glass ceramics, Hydroxyapatite, resorbable Calcium phosphates, among others. They have been used in dentistry for filling up bony defects, root repair materials, apical fill materials, perforation sealing, as endodontic sealers and as aids in regeneration. They have certain advantages like biocompatibility, non toxicity...

Background and aims. With availability of hydrophilic sealers, drying of the canals before endodontic obturation is still a matter of debate. The aim of this study was to compare the apical micro-leakage of AH26, Excite DSC, MTA Fillapex, and ZOE sealers in dry and moist root canals. Materials and methods. This experimental study was performed on 90 extracted maxillary central incisors. Rotary ...

OBJECTIVE Our goal of the study was to evaluate the antibacterial properties of endodontic sealers against the E. faecalis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Six millimeters wells were made for each material in all the preinoculated petri plates. Then, the petri plates were incubated for 24 h. The zones of inhibition appeared were measured, and the measurements were put to statistical analysis. RESULTS...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to compare the subcutaneous tissue responses of freshly mixed or set endodontic root canal sealers ( i.e. roekoseal, ah26, ah plus) in wistar albino rats. materials and methods: seventy-two male albino rats weighing 200-250g were used. the animals were randomly divided into six groups of 12 rats each. root canal sealers were implanted in subcutaneous ...

Abstract New methodologies using micro-CT to evaluate solubility besides dimensional and morphological changes of endodontic materials are proposed. However, there is no standardization in the methods. The aim this study was assess effect different dimensions test samples on volumetric change evaluation materials. AH Plus, FillCanal Sealapex root canal sealers, Biodentine, IRM MTA root-end fill...
