introduction: the purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the sealing ability of the readymade temporary filling and hand mixed materials by assessing coronal microleakage. materials & methods: standardized access cavities were prepared in 80 intact human permanent premolar teeth. they were divided randomly into four experimental groups (n=20). the teeth were restored using one of the te...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the sealing ability of gray-colored mineral trioxide aggregate (gmta), white-colored mta (wmta), and resilon as root filling materials. materials and methods: sixty-six human maxillary central incisors were used in the present study. in the group a, 20 teeth were filled with gmta. in the group b, 20 teeth were filled with wmta and in the g...

objective: in a cavity prepared through endodontic surgery, application of a material to provide apical seal and prevent bacterial and tissue exudates is of great importance. the purpose of this study was to compare the sealing ability of biocalex with white mta, gray mta, and amalgam as root-end fillings. materials and methods: sixty-six single-rooted extracted human teeth were cleaned, shaped...
