OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare the push-out bond strength and dentinal tubule penetration of root canal sealers used with coated core materials and conventional gutta-percha. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 72 single-rooted human mandibular incisors were instrumented with NiTi rotary files with irrigation of 2.5% NaOCl. The smear layer was removed with 17% ethylenediaminetet...

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 This in-vitro study aimed to compare the push-out bond strength of composite to prepared and unprepared intracanal dentin using a 5th generation bonding agent in primary anterior teeth after etching for seven and 15 seconds. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty primary anterior teeth were randomly divided into four groups. In groups one and two, intracanal dentin remained intact while in gr...

Introduction Titanium and its alloys have excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility. In the field of dentistry, smooth surfaced titanium implants inserted into the facial bones perform very well. After implantation, well-fixed dental implants, which are not subjected to weight loading during some period after implantation, exhibit direct contact with bone without intervening fibrous ...
