Background This study aimed to evaluate and compare the abrasive and erosive wear resistance of Cention N and titanium dioxide (TiO) nanoparticle-enriched Cention N after three years of brushing simulation. Methodology A total of 48 freshly extracted mandibular molars were mounted in acrylic blocks and divided into two groups of 24 molars based on the type of restorative material used to restore them. Cavities of a standardized size were prepared.

Aim This study aimed to assess and compare the mechanical properties, including compressive strength, diametral tensile strength, flexural strength, fracture resistance, microhardness, and microleakage, between Cention N (Ivoclar Vivadent, Gurugram, India) and Cention N enriched with titanium dioxide (TiO) nanoparticles. Methodology A total of 120 samples were involved in the study, which were split into two experimental groups. For evaluation of each mechanical property, 20 samples were included, of which 10 samples were used for evaluating the properties of Cention N and 10 samples were used for TiOnanoparticles-enriched Cention N.

Introduction Root canal morphology tends to be complicated by nature and dealing with this intricacy can be challenging because it makes it difficult to completely disinfect the root canal space. The success of root canal therapy is also determined by the biomechanical preparation of the canal with the application of instruments and irrigating solutions. Due to the fact that the root dentin surface continues to interact with the irrigating solution during preparation, it's critical to evaluate the mechanical characteristics and smear layer removal.
