OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the effect of an acidic environment on dislocation resistance (push-out bond strength) of EndoSequence Root Repair Material (ERRM putty and ERRM paste), a new bioceramic-based material, to that of mineral tri-oxide aggregate (MTA). MATERIALS AND METHODS One-hundred twenty root dentin slices with standardized canal spaces were divided into 6 group...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to analyze the ability of multiple compounds to seal the dental tubules using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and micro-computed tomogra-phy (micro-CT). MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-four single-root human mandibular premolars were selected and instrumented with nickel-titanium rotary file and the final file size was #40/06. They were then randomly all...

Objective. The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the long-term fracture resistance of simulated human immature permanent teeth filled with BioAggregate™ (BA), mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), and EndoSequence® Root Repair Material (ERRM). Material and Methods. 40 teeth, simulated to average root length of 13 ± 1 mm (Cvek's stage 3), were included in the study. The teeth were randomly ...

OBJECTIVE This study compared the push-out bond strength of EndoSequence Root Repair Material (ERRM) and Bioaggregate (BA), new bioceramic materials, to that of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) after incubation in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), a synthetic tissue fluid, for either 1 week or 2 months. MATERIALS AND METHODS One-hundred and twenty root sections were filled with ProRoot MTA, BA...

background: the aim of this study was to compare push-out bond strength of a new bioceramic endodontic sealer, endosequence bc sealer (brasseler usa, savannah, ga), used with gutta-percha in the presence or absence of phosphate-buffered saline solution (pbs) within the root canals. materials and methods: forty single-rooted human teeth were prepared and randomly divided into four groups. sample...
