introduction: coronal leakage seems to play an important role in the failure of endodontic treatment. a double seal over root canal filling has been suggested as a means of improving the coronal seal. several restorative materials have been used in an attempt to produce a coronal barrier. the purpose of this study was to assess gray-coloured mineral trioxide aggregate (gmta), white-coloured min...

introduction: a coronal barrier in root-filled teeth is one of the most effective methods for prevention of coronal microleakage. the aim of this study was to compare coronal microleakage of three materials [light-cured glass-ionomer (gi), mineral trioxide aggregate (mta), and composite resin] as coronal barriers. materials and methods: a total of 188 intact maxillary incisors were used. after ...

Introduction: Cervical root resorption is one of the most important complications of intra coronal bleaching. A way of preventing this type of resorption is using a coronal barrier under the bleaching materials. The aim of this study was to compare the sealing ability of glass ionomer cement and Pro Root Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) as a coronal barrier in intra coronal bleaching. Materi...

background: this study was designed to assess the microleakage of glass-ionomer (gi), mineral trioxide aggregate (mta), and calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement as coronal orifi ce barrier during walking bleaching. materials and methods: in this experimental study, endodontic treatment was done for 70 extracted human incisors without canal calcifi cation, caries, restoration, resorption, or cr...

Abstract Introduction: Thickness of a coronal seal barrier is an important factor for preventing microleakage. The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the sealing ability of two different thicknesses of calcium Enriched Mixture (CEM) cement as a coronal seal barrier.   Methods: A total of 40 canals of extracted maxillary central incisors were instrumented and obturated using lateral compa...

introduction: coronal microleakage is the major cause of failure of root canal treatments. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the sealing ability of white mta, c&b; metabond and cavit against coronal microleakage of enterococcus faecalis for four months. methods and materials: ninety extracted single–rooted human teeth were selected. root canal instrument-tation and abturation with gutta...

INTRODUCTION Coronal leakage seems to play an important role in the failure of endodontic treatment. A double seal over root canal filling has been suggested as a means of improving the coronal seal. Several restorative materials have been used in an attempt to produce a coronal barrier.

This study evaluated the effectiveness of a dentin bonding agent as a barrier to prevent coronal microleakage and examined the effect of a eugenol-based sealer on the sealing ability of this resin adhesive. Fifty-one extracted human mandibular molars were incorporated in a model system using an oral streptococci as a microbial marker. Group 1 consisted of 15 teeth that were obturated with only ...

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the sealing ability of dentin bonding agents in root canals obturated with gutta-percha and MTA. Methods: Forty-five single rooted human premolar teeth were decoronated so that remaining root portions were 12 mm in length. The samples were divided randomly into three experimental (n=13) and two control groups (n=3). All teeth were instrume...
