BACKGROUND The aim of the present study is to evaluate and compare the cytotoxic effects of eight root canal sealers (BioRoot RCS, TotalFill BC Sealer, MTA Fillapex, Sealapex, AH Plus, EasySeal, Pulp Canal Sealer, N2) on immortalized human gingival fibroblasts over a period of 24, 48 and 72 hours. MATERIAL AND METHODS Immortalized human gingival fibroblast-1 HGF-1 (ATCC CRL-2014) were incubat...

Background. Maximum sealing ability or adhesion of endodontic sealers can be achieved after effective removal of the smear layer. Endodontic irrigants assist in adequate removal of the smear layer, improving the retention mechanism. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of two different root canal irrigation solutions (5.25% NaOCl followed by 17% EDTA and QMix) on the apical sealing ...

Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma revisão integrativa comparando a citotoxicidade dos cimentos MTA Fillapex e AH Plus aos tecidos periapicais. Métodos: Foram utilizados artigos na íntegra, nos idiomas português inglês, publicados durante os períodos de 2010 2017, selecionados base dados Scielo Pubmed, utilizando seguintes descritores: Plus, citotoxicidade. excluídos, trabalhos ...

This study evaluated the cytotoxicity, antimicrobial and physicochemical properties of root canal sealers incorporated with phytotherapic Uncaria tomentosa (UT). Unmodified AH Plus (Dentsply, DeTrey, Germany) MTA Fillapex (Angelus, Londrina, Brazil) were used as controls. UT was into Fillapex, at concentrations 2% 5% total weight these (w/w). Flowability, setting time, solubility following ISO ...

Objective: The purpose of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness various root canal sealers in reducing postoperative pain and need for analgesics. Methods: asymptomatic necrosis apical periodontitis 60 single-rooted teeth were studied by randomly assigning them 2experimental groups (n=30) according sealer: AH Plus MTA Fillapex. Two appointments needed complete endodontic treatment, ca...

INTRODUCTION The aim of the present experimental study was to evaluate the push-out bond strength of Dorifill, Epiphany and MTA-Fillapex sealers to root canal dentin in presence and absence of smear layer (SL). METHODS AND MATERIALS Sixty human single-rooted teeth were selected and divided into six groups (n=10). The canal irrigation protocol in groups 1, 3 and 5 consisted of 2.5% NaOCl durin...
