Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of bioceramic sealers versus AH Plus® sealers in terms of how well they penetrate dentinal tubules and their ability to fight bacteria.
- A systematic review and meta-analysis of 54 eligible studies revealed no significant differences in penetration capacity or antimicrobial activity between the two types of sealers across various tooth regions.
- The findings suggest that both bioceramic and AH Plus® sealers are equally effective and can be used effectively in clinical dental practice, with the studies showing a low risk of bias.
The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis (SRM) was to assess postoperative pain (PP) after endodontic treatment with bioceramic root canal sealer compared to AH Plus® sealer. This SRM was carried out in accordance with the items on the PRISMA 2020 checklist and Cochrane guidelines and registered in PROSPERO (CRD42021259283). Only randomized clinical trials (RCTs) were included.

Background: Although photodynamic therapy associated with photosensitizers can promote microbial reduction, studies evaluating the consequences of two photodynamic therapy sessions associated with different photosensitizers on the bond strength of glass-fiber posts to endodontically treated intraradicular dentin are scarce. This in vitro study aimed to investigate the influence of two photodynamic therapy sessions using methylene blue or curcumin photosensitizers on the bond strength of glass-fiber posts to intraradicular dentin in different root thirds.
Methods: Seventy-two teeth were divided into 9 experimental groups according to photosensitizer type, concentration and light-activation: Control - deionized water; Methylene blue 50 mg/L; Methylene blue 50 mg/L + laser; Methylene blue 100 mg/L; Methylene blue 100 mg/L + laser; Curcumin 500 mg/L; Curcumin 500 mg/L + LED; Curcumin 1000 mg/L; and Curcumin 1000 mg/L + LED.
