Comparative Evaluation of Novel Intracanal Medicaments on the Sealing Integrity of the Root Canal System: An In Vitro Study.

Aim And Objective: This study aims to evaluate and compare the sealing integrity of endodontically treated teeth after the placement of novel nanoparticle-based intracanal medicaments through dye penetration.

Materials And Methods: Total samples (n=56) with different experimental intracanal medicaments group 1: nano calcium oxide (nCaO) + propylene glycol (PPG) 400, group 2: nano zinc oxide (nZnO) + PPG400, group 3: nano magnesium oxide (nMgO) + PPG400, group 4: metapaste (control) were randomly divided for qualitative (n=28) and quantitative (n=28) analysis to determine the sealing integrity. The statistical analysis was performed using ANOVA, student t-test, and IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 20 (Released 2011; IBM Corp.

Pedodontist's Role in Managing Speech Impairments Due to Structural Imperfections and Oral Habits: A Literature Review.
