an important factor that interferes with the bonding between the root canal wall and resin cement is the root canal sealer remnant. there is controversy about the effect of eugenol-containing sealers on the bond strength between resin cements and fiber post. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the type of endodontic sealer on the bond strength of frc posts cemented with resin ce...

Caries is the most popular problem affecting teeth and this is the reason why so many temporary dental filling materials are being developed. An example of such filling is zinc oxide paste mixed with eugenol, Thymodentin and Coltosol F®. Zinc-oxide eugenol is used in dentistry because of its multiplied values: it improves heeling of the pulp by dentine bridge formation; has antiseptic propertie...

introduction: the aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxicity of a new nano zinc-oxide eugenol (nzoe) sealer in comparison with ah-26 and pulpdent root canal sealers. methods and materials: the l929 mouse fibroblast cells were cultivated and incubated for 24, 48 or 72 h with different dilutions (1/1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 and 1/32) of culture media previously exposed to either of the test ...

Zinc oxide-eugenol mixtures have been used in dentistry for a number of years. The setting mechanism of these mixtures was investigated.

Aim: The purpose of the study was to compare the apical seal produced by Zinc oxide eugenol sealer, calcium hydroxide based sealer (Metapex), Glass ionomer root canal sealer (Ketac Endo) and epoxy resin root canal sealer (AH Plus). Materials and methods: Biomechanical preparation using step back technique and irrigation with 5.25% sodium hypochlorite was done on 120 extracted, single rooted, no...

The aim of this study was to assess the uniaxial tensile strength after thermal cycling in replicas of CeraOne abutments (abutment and coping sets), using four types of cements (n = 10). A zinc phosphate cement (Fosfato de Zinco/ SSW), a resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RelyX luting / 3M-ESPE), a zinc oxide-eugenol cement (ZOE/ SSW) and a zinc oxide cement without eugenol (TempBond NE/ KERR...

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the outcome of eugenol-free and eugenol-containing cements on the bond strength of resin cement. MATERIALS AND METHODS Dentin was exposed in five groups of extracted teeth (20 specimens each). In Group 1, specimens were not given temporary cementation. In Groups 2 and 3, specimens were given temporary restoration fixed with eugenol-free ...

The response of the dental pulp to calcium hydroxide or zinc oxide and eugenol cement was investigated histopathologically, using the germ-free and conventional rats. The upper first molar pulp was exposed with a p1/2 round bur through the mesial surface of the teeth and covered with the capping agents. The observation period was 1, 2, 4, 7, 10, 14 and 28 days postoperatively. The results obtai...

This in vitro study aims to evaluate the sealing ability of gutta percha root filling used with mineral trioxide aggregate [MTA], and zinc-oxide eugenol as sealer. Thirty freshly extracted single-roote teeth were selected, decoronated and then instrumented. Samples were randomly divided into five experimental groups. In group 1, root canals were filled using single cone gutta percha technique, ...

The choice of luting agents contributes a significant role in retention of cement retained implant restorations and their precise tensile behaviour needs to be investigated further. The aim of present study is to estimate and compare the difference in tensile bond strength between implant abutments and all ceramic restorations luted with four luting agents. An experimental, single blinded, in-v...
