Endodontic Sealers Modified with Silver Vanadate: Antibacterial, Compositional, and Setting Time Evaluation.

The incorporation of nanoparticles into endodontic sealers aims at increasing antimicrobial activity of the original material. The aim of this study is to incorporate the nanostructured silver vanadate decorated with silver nanoparticles (AgVO, at 2.5%, 5%, and 10%) into three endodontic sealers and evaluate the antibacterial activity of freshly sealers, surface topography and chemical composition, and setting time.
