The purpose of this study was to observe the influence of coronal leakage on the behavior of periapical tissues after root canal filling and post space preparation. Forty root canals of dogs' teeth were instrumented and filled by the lateral condensation technique with gutta percha points and the cements Sealer 26 and Roth. After post space preparation, the remaining filling material was either...

Introduction: This study aimed to compare the fracture resistance using a bioceramic sealer and an epoxy resin-based sealer. Materials Methods: One hundred maxillary central incisors were randomly assigned three experimental groups: AH Plus single-cone technique, lateral compaction SureSeal Root sealer, two positive negative control groups. Then of prepared tooth roots was determined. The data ...

Aim: To evaluate the maximum depth of sealer penetration into dentinal tubules at the coronal, middle, and apical third of root canals, following the use of different final irrigation solutions. Materials and methods: Eighty freshly extracted mandibular premolars were selected for the study. After decoronation, instrumentation of samples was done using Protaper universal rotary file system till...

Introduction Dentinal canal walls are in direct contact with endodontic sealers prior to post space preparation and luting cements after post space preparation. This direct contact may affect the bond strength of intraradicular posts to root dentin. This study aimed to assess the effect of three different sealers on the bond strength of fiber posts to root dentin. Methods and Materials The ca...

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate two commonly used gutta-percha solvents for their effectiveness in dissolving several types of root canal sealers. Seven different sealers (AH26, AH Plus, Diaket, Roekoseal, Sankin Apatite Root Sealer, Sealapex, and Sultan U/P) were used in this study. After mixing according to the manufacturers' directions, each material was syringed into 30 g...

The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the treatment outcome of root canal systems obturated with gutta-percha and Kerr Pulp Canal Sealer compared with Resilon and Epiphany sealer. One hundred three teeth treated in a private endodontic practice were included in the study. Clinical outcomes (healed versus nonhealed) were assessed by using the Periapical Index determination and ...

This study evaluated the ability of three materials--a resinous root canal sealer (Sealer 26) prepared in a thick consistence, a reinforced zinc oxide-eugenol cement (IRM), and a glass-ionomer cement (Fuji IX)--in preventing bacterial leakage. Retrofilled teeth were mounted in an apparatus and then challenged by human saliva. The number of days required for the bacteria from saliva to penetrate...

This study compared the microshear bond strength of three resin-based sealers to root dentin and assessed whether sealer cements behave differently in thin and thick films. Extracted maxillary premolars were sectioned buccolingually, and 45 root halves were randomly allocated for microshear bond testing with the three resin sealers in thin and thick films. The microshear bond strength was then ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the biocompatibility of sealers used in apical surgery in rat subcutaneous tissue. Sterile polyethylene tubes were filled with the following sealers: Sealapex, Sealapex with addition of zinc oxide, Sealer 26, Sealer 26 with thicker consistency (greater powder-to-resin ratio) and White MTA. The tubes were implanted in the dorsum of male rats and after 7, 21 ...
