Article Synopsis
  • - This study examines the effectiveness of three endodontic sealers—Adseal, Proseal, and AH26—in reducing microleakage during root canal treatments, which is crucial for preventing treatment failure.
  • - A total of 48 extracted teeth were disinfected, prepared, and treated with the three sealers using a specific method, with their sealing abilities assessed through a dye-penetration technique.
  • - The results showed no significant difference in microleakage among the three sealers, but all performed significantly better than the control group, indicating effective sealing ability overall.

Due to the widespread use of MTA in dentistry and various brands of this product, we decided to compare the three brands available in the country market by their biocompatibility. We divided 20 male Wistar rats into four groups. After local anesthesia and washing, we made two incisions on both sides (4 incisions in total).

Introduction: Apical transportation changes the physical shape and physiologic environment of the root canal terminus. The aim of the present experimental study was to determine the extent of apical transportation after instrumentation with hand K-Flexofile and K3 rotary instruments by means of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Methods And Materials: Forty mesiobuccal root canals of maxillary first molars, with 19-22 mm length and 20-40(°) canal curvature, were selected and assigned into two preparation groups.
