Objective: To compare the effect of Maleic acid and Irritrol (combination Chlorhexidine & Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) irrigation on sealing ability Biodentine when used as root-end filling material. Material Methods: Thirty single-rooted human premolars were subjected to standardized root canal instrumentation irrigated with 2.5% Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl) after each instrument change. Ap...

Within the limitations of this study, our results indicate that microtomography, with proposed semi-automatic algorithm, is a useful tools for three-dimensional quantitative evaluation of dental root canal fillings. In canals filled with thermoplastic gutta-percha and Tubli-Seal, voids at the interface between the filling and canal dentine deserve special attention due to of their periapical lo...

BACKGROUND The study was aimed to evaluate the microleakage of Biodentine using two different manipulation methods by dye penetration. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 60 single-rooted human maxillary permanent teeth were cleaned and obturated with gutta-percha using lateral condensation method. Standardized root-end cavities were prepared after apical resection. All teeth were divided random...

AIM To compare the apical seal of lateral condensation technique, thermafil and one-step by using this model. MATERIALS AND METHODS A two-chamber bacterial microleakage model using E. faecalis as microbial marker was used for evaluation of the leakage. Bacterial penetration was monitored over a 60-day period. Leakage was recorded when turbidity was observed in the lower chamber. RESULTS Aft...

there is some concern that root resection may alter the seal of the previously set orthograde material. the aim of this study was to evaluate the apical sealing ability of orthograde mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) and calcium enriched mixture (cem) plugs after resection of the roots.the fluid filtration method was carried out on a total of 51 roots in three experimental (n=15) and two control...

BACKGROUND Moisture control is very important in restorative procedures in dentistry. Use of hemostatic agents helps control moisture; however, they might result in changes on enamel and dentin surfaces, affecting composite resin bond quality. The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the marginal microleakage of two different composite resins with the use of three different hemostatic age...

PURPOSE Composite restorations are more frequently being placed with margins apical to the cementoenamel junction. However, margins within dentin are prone to microleakage. The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate various restorative procedures in terms of their ability to reduce microleakage in posterior composite restorations with gingival margins within dentin. We also examined the...

GIC, microleakage, Miracle Mix, MTA, root-end filling. Abstract The main objective of a root end filling material is to provide an apical seal that prevents the movement of bacteria and the diffusion of bacterial products from the root canal system into periapical tissues. The aim of this study was to compare the microleakage of three root end filling materials Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA),...
