OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the efficacy of Endosolv-R and Xylene in softening epoxy resin based sealer after 1 to 2 min exposure. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty Teflon molds (6 mm × 1.5 mm in inner diameter and depth) were equally divided into 3 groups of 20 each. AH 26 (Dentsply/De Trey), AH Plus (Dentsply/De Trey), Adseal (Meta-Biomed) were manipulated and placed in the molds allotted to ...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the cytotoxicity of a new nano zinc-oxide eugenol (NZOE) sealer on human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) compared with Pulpdent (micro-sized ZOE sealer) and AH-26 (resin-based sealer). METHODS AND MATERIALS The Pulpdent, AH-26, and NZOE sealers were prepared and exposed to cell culture media immediately after setting, and 24 h and one we...

Received:31 October 2008 Accepted:11 March 2009 Abstract: Objective: The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the coronal microleakage between Streptococcus sanguis per se and a mixture suspension of E. faecalis and C. albicans in root canals filled with Gutta-percha and either AH 26 or AH Plus sealer. Materials and Methods: One-hundred and ten extracted human teeth were decoronated to a s...

INTRODUCTION This study aimed to compare the cytotoxicity of MTA Fillapex, AH-26 and Apatite root canal sealers at different times after mixing. METHODS AND MATERIALS In this in vitro study, MTA Fillapex, AH-26 and Apatite root canal sealer were spilled uniformly by 40 µm mesh in a 96-well plate. Then, human fetal foreskin fibroblast cell line (HFFF2) were added to each sealer cell culture me...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of different root canal filling techniques on the bond strength of epoxy resin-based sealers. Sixty single-rooted canines were prepared using ProTaper (F5) and divided into the following groups based on the root filling technique: Lateral Compaction (LC), Single Cone (SC), and Tagger Hybrid Technique (THT). The following subgroups (n = 10) were ...

 Place Duration of Study: Armed Forces Institute Dentistry, Rawalpindi Pakistan, from May to Nov 2019.
 Methodology: Three hundred eighty-eight patients either gender, ranging age 20 45, presenting in OPD for root canal treatment wer...

introduction: this study aimed to compare the cytotoxicity of mta fillapex, ah-26 and apatite root canal sealers at different times after mixing. methods and materials: in this in vitro study, mta fillapex, ah-26 and apatite root canal sealer were spilled uniformly by 40 µm mesh in a 96-well plate. then, human fetal foreskin fibroblast cell line (hfff2) were added to each sealer cell culture me...

introduction: the purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the antimicrobial effects of two antibiotics added to ah 26 sealer against enterococcus faecalis (ef). materials and methods: the antimicrobial effects of two antibiotic (amoxicillin and doxycycline) that were added separately to ah 26 sealer was evaluated by using the agar diffusion test and in vitro human root inoculation method...

To study the adhesion of epoxy resin based endodontic sealers by determining the tensile bond strength and evaluating the effect of smear layer removal on the adhesion of the endodontic sealers. Root canals of freshly extracted mandibular first premolar teeth with single root canal, were instrumented by using rotary instrument The roots were prepared for adhesion by splitting them and embedding...
