Abstract Although mineral trioxide aggregates (MTA) have been adopted as an endodontic sealer because of excellent sealing effect and bioactive property modified with improvement its characteristics, the developed MTA sealers not yet satisfied all ideal requirements sealers. The aim this study was to assess characteristics elastin-like polypeptide (ELP)-incorporated for use compare them those c...

Background: It is difficult to identify a potential sealant with penetration depth until practically analyzed. A scanning electron microscopy (SEM) overview could better describe the internal picture of the materials sealed to the tooth surface on in vitro experimentation since it being a vital procedure for successful obturation. Hence, this study was undertaken to compare the penetration dept...

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı son zamanlarda kullanıma giren mineral trioksit agregat (MTA) esaslı bir kök-kanal dolgu materyali olan MTA Fillapex’in radyo-opasitesinin dört farklı kök-kanal dolgu materyali ile dijital görüntüleme yöntemi kullanılarak karşılaştırılmasıdır. Yöntemler: Çalışmada kök-kanal dolgu maddesi olarak MTA Fillapex, Adseal, AH Plus, Endomethasone ve güta-perka kon kullanılmışt...

to assess the effects of different final irrigants on the bond strength of bonded root filling materials, epiphany/resilon and epiphany self-etch (se)/resilon.the root canals of eighty single-rooted extracted human teeth were prepared. after the smear layer was removed using 17% edta, the samples were randomly divided into eight groups. in groups 1 and 2, no additional irrigant was used after e...

introduction: intrinsic tooth discolorations after endodontic treatment are principally attributed to the composition of necrotic pulp tissue, hemorrhage within the pulp cavity, endodontic medicaments and/or filling materials. residual sealer left in pulp chamber after obturation can cause discoloration. the objective of this in vitro study was to evaluate coronal discoloration created by ah26 ...

introduction: the aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of mta-based sealer (mta fillapex), eugenol-based sealer (dorifill) and an epoxy resin sealer (ah plus) on the bond strength of fiber posts cemented with a self-etch adhesive. materials and methods: the root canals of 72 maxillary incisors were prepared using the step-back technique after removing/cutting off the crowns. th...

AIM This study used a modified tooth-clearing technique to allow observation of accessory canals following filling with a warm gutta-percha technique and one of two endodontic cements. METHODOLOGY Ten extracted human maxillary molars with three roots were selected and divided into two equal groups of five teeth. Each group had 15 canals. Root canal preparation was performed with a modified do...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate influence ultrasonic activation (UA) on setting time and flow four endodontic sealers: AH Plus (AH), Sealer (SP), MTA Fillapex (MTAF), BioRoot RCS (BIO). Properties were evaluated as required by ANSI/ADA Specification N° 57 (2008); only size specimens modified. UA applied using a smooth tapered tip coupled piezoelectric device (30% power) freshly mix...
