Effect of heat application on the physicochemical properties of new endodontic sealers: an in vitro and SEM study.

Understanding the properties of endodontic sealers is vital for treatment planning. Calcium silicate-based sealers are important in modern endodontics. This study investigates the effect of heat on the physicochemical properties of new calcium silicate sealers, addressing concerns raised by clinicians seeking to combine their benefits with the gutta-percha obturation technique.

The Pushout Bond Strength of Three Calcium Silicate-based Materials in Furcal Perforation Repair and the Effect of a Novel Irrigation Solution: A Comparative Study.

Aim: To evaluate the pushout bond strength of three calcium silicate-based materials used as furcal perforation repair materials and the effect of root canal irrigants on the pushout strength of the tested repair materials.

Materials And Methods: Furcal perforations measuring 1.3 mm in diameter were made in the center of the furcation area of 90 extracted human mandibular molars.

Shaping ability of a new heat-treated NiTi system in continuous rotation or reciprocation in artificial curved canals.

The purpose is to evaluate canal transportation of a new heat-treated NiTi system, the Endostar E3 Azure operated in continuous rotation or reciprocation. 40 resin blocks were divided into two groups. The first was shaped in continuous rotation while the second in reciprocation.

Sealing Ability of Calcium Silicate-based Materials in the Repair of Furcal Perforations: A Laboratory Comparative Study.

Aim: To assess the sealing ability of two calcium silicate-based materials in the treatment of iatrogenic furcal perforations using a dye-penetration leakage model.

Materials And Methods: Furcation perforations were performed using a size 12 round burr on the pulp chamber floor of 20 first mandibular molars. The teeth were then randomly divided into two groups, two additional molars served as negative controls.

Guided Endodontic Treatment of Calcified Lower Incisors: A Case Report.

A 52-year-old female patient was diagnosed with chronic periapical periodontitis associated with severely calcified lower central incisors. Radiographic examination revealed no visible root canal in the coronal-third of the root. After choosing the guided endodontic treatment, an intraoral scan (Trios, 3shape, Copenhagen, Denmark), in conjunction with a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan, was taken in order to design and fabricate a printed guide.
