Effect of sintering temperature on the physiochemical properties, microstructure, and compressive strength of a bioceramic root canal sealer reinforced with multi-walled carbon nanotubes and titanium carbide.

Aim: Bioceramic root canal sealers like BioRoot RCS have received significant attention for use in endodontics. The addition of a nanophase material like multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and titanium carbide (TC) to its matrix combined with pressureless sintering might have the potential for improved physiochemical, microstructure, and compressive strength properties.

Method: ology: MWCNTs and TC nanomaterials were added at a percentage of 1 wt% to a definite weight of pristine BioRoot RCS.
