Article Synopsis
  • The study compared two sealing materials (Adseal and Sealapex) for root canal treatments, assessing both in vitro and in vivo outcomes.
  • In vitro results showed Adseal had significantly lower dye penetration (0.82 mm) compared to Sealapex (1.23 mm), indicating better sealing capability.
  • Clinically, Adseal also led to better healing outcomes, with 80% of patients showing improvement in the periapical index after 6 months versus only 56.7% for Sealapex, and fewer failures in tooth healing for the Adseal group (13.3% vs. 40%).

Maintaining the original trajectory of the root canal is a major challenge in endodontic therapy, especially in narrow and curved root canals. The present study aims to assess the shaping capacity of three endodontic systems made of different nickel−titanium alloys on simulated curved root canals. Thirty-six endodontic resin blocks (Ref.

The aim of the present study is to compare the efficacy of three root canal preparation systems in the shaping of 3D-printed root canal replicas of single rooted teeth. : Sixty 3D-printed root canal replicas were produced and divided into three groups, each consisting of twenty samples. Each group was shaped with a different instrument: Reciproc Blue R25/08 (VDW GmbH, Munich, Gemany), WaveOne Gold Primary 25/07 (Dentsply Sirona, Ballaigues, Switzerland), and ProTaper Gold F2 25/08 (Denstply Sirona).
