Effect of incorporation of a new antimicrobial nanomaterial on the physical-chemical properties of endodontic sealers.

Objectives: The objective of the study is to incorporate the nanostructured silver vanadate (AgVO) decorated with silver nanoparticles at endodontic sealers AH Plus, Sealapex, Sealer 26, and Endofill, at concentrations of 2.5%, 5%, and 10%, and to evaluate physical-chemical properties.

Materials And Methods: The study was to evaluate the radiopacity using digital radiography ( = 5), the tooth color change in 48 incisors ( = 3) for 7, 30, 90, and 180 days in a spectrophotometer, and the topographic distribution in a confocal laser ( = 5).
