Introduction The aim was to compare the solubility, radiopacity, and setting times of a
tricalcium silicate–containing (BioRoot RCS; Septodont, St Maur-des-Fossés, France) and a …

Aim Even after a complete root canal therapy, reinfection may occur as a result of incomplete
seal and activation of residual bacteria. Thus, antimicrobial activity is an important …

Background: Sealing ability is one of the most important features of endodontic sealers. The
purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the sealing ability of a resin-based sealer with …

MATERIALS AND METHODS Direct contact test with agar diffusion was used in this in vitro
study. The freshly mixed sealers were AH26, Apexit and pure ZOE. They were prepared …

Introduction A number of sealers with different chemistries are badged as Bioceramic,
implying biological activity, but have dissimilar properties, which has implications on the …

The antibacterial effects of various types of widely used endodontic sealers have not been
compared systematically on facultative or obligate anaerobic endodontic pathogens. The …

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of five different root-
canal sealers (RoekoSeal, Ketac-Endo, AH Plus, Sealapex, Sultan). With the use of …

Objective To compare the antimicrobial effect of different irrigation solutions against
Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) and Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) planktonic …

Objectives This study aimed to analyse the effect of using phosphate buffer solution (PBS)
on the solubility, pH changes, surface structure, and elemental composition of a new …

Purpose The sealing of wide-open apex roots is still a challenge and requires the use of
apical barrier techniques. The aim was to evaluate ex vivo the sealing and the apical …
