Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of 3 different mixing methods on push-out bond strength of white tooth-colored mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA).

Methods: Sixty 2-mm-thick root sections were prepared from 60 single-rooted human teeth and filled with MTA. The samples were randomly divided into 3 groups (n = 20) of MTA mixed by ultrasonic, trituration, or conventional methods and then allowed to set for 72 hours in a synthetic tissue fluid environment. Push-out bond strength values of the specimens were measured by a universal testing machine and examined under a stereomicroscope at × 4 to determine the nature of the bond failure.

Results: The means of push-out bond strength values of white MTA in the ultrasonic, conventional, and trituration groups were 105.67 ± 12.79, 118.95 ± 12.76, and 99.60 ± 14.27 MPa, respectively. The differences between the 3 groups were not statistically significant.

Conclusions: On the basis of the results of this study, it can be concluded that different mixing methods have no significant effect on push-out bond strength of white MTA.

The CRTS (China Railway Track System) II slab ballastless track is widely utilized in high-speed railway construction owing to its excellent structural integrity. However, its interfacial performance deteriorates under high-temperature conditions, leading to significant damage in structural details. Furthermore, the evolution of its performance under these conditions has not been comprehensively studied.

Adhesion within endodontic obturation material and root canal walls improves the efficacy of the endodontic treatment by establishing a barrier that inhibits reinfection and entombs residual bacteria. This study evaluates the push-out bond strength (POBS) of calcium silicate sealers compared to an epoxy-resin-based sealer. A total of 36 extracted mono-radicular teeth were prepared with Pro Taper Ultimate and irrigated with 5.

This study evaluated the bond strength (BS) of conventional, anatomized, adjustable, and CAD/CAM fiberglass post systems. Forty maxillary canine roots were weakened, endodontically treated, and divided into four groups (n=10). A slice from each of the three sections (cervical, middle, apical) of the root canal was subjected to the push-out test and the failure pattern was subsequently analyzed.

This study compared the effects of different final irrigation protocols on the mechanical properties and structural integrity of root dentine. One-hundred eight teeth were instrumented and irrigated with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) using conventional irrigation (CI). Teeth were distributed into four groups based on final irrigation protocols: Control Group (CG): 17%EDTA/CI + H2O; G1: 2.
