Objective: This study aimed to assess the coronal-sealing ability of two different root canal obturation materials: gutta-percha with AH Plus and Resilon with Epiphany SE between radiated and nonirradiated groups.

Materials And Methods: Fifty-six extracted premolar teeth were randomly divided into two main groups according to the presence or absence of radiotherapy. Specimens were divided into two equal groups. In the radiotherapy group, a total dose of 60 Gy was delivered with 1.8 Gy/d fractions, 5 days a week, for 35 days. The root canals were obturated with either gutta-percha/AH Plus or Resilon/Epiphany SE canal sealer. The samples were then evaluated for the coronal-sealing ability using a centrifuging dye penetration test at 3000 rpm for 5 min in a 2% Rhodamine B solution. The degree of dye penetration was evaluated with a stereomicroscope.

Results: Although the sealing ability of both groups was not affected in radiotherapy, the coronal leakage values of Resilon/Epiphany SE slightly increased when radiation was applied (P > 0.05).

Conclusion: Radiotherapy does not significantly affect the coronal-sealing ability of root canal obturation materials, gutta-percha/AH Plus and Resilon/Epiphany SE.

Article Synopsis
  • The review analyzes the effectiveness of zinc oxide-based materials versus glass-ionomer cement as temporary fillings during endodontic treatment, focusing on their sealing properties in extracted teeth.
  • Seven clinical trials were examined, revealing variability in sealing ability, with glass-ionomer cement performing better for single-rooted teeth, while zinc oxide materials also showed good results.
  • Although zinc oxide materials have advantages such as consistent application, concerns about dye penetration tests not fully capturing bacterial leakage risk highlight the need for more clinical research.

Aim: To compare the sealing ability of three different materials when used as postendodontic restoration barriers to coronal microleakage in root-filled teeth.

Materials And Methods: In the present study, 60 single-rooted mandibular premolars with single canals were selected. After endodontic treatment was done with protaper files, they were divided into three groups of 20 teeth each, which were restored with Zirconomer (Group I), Hi-Dense (Group II), and Surefil composite (Group III), respectively.

Objectives: To investigate in vitro effects of a nanoparticle bioceramic material, iRoot BP Plus, on stem cells from apical papilla (SCAP) and in vivo capacity to induce pulp-dentin complex formation.

Materials And Methods: The sealing ability of iRoot BP Plus was measured via scanning electron microscopy (SEM). SCAP were isolated and treated in vitro by iRoot BP Plus conditioned medium, with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) conditioned medium and regular medium used as controls, respectively.

Aim: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the bacterial micro-leakage of three different materials, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC), and flowable composite, as a coronal barrier against Enterococcus faecalis.

Materials And Methods: A total of 100 human extracted single-rooted teeth were selected. Access opening done, working length determined, and canals were cleaned and shaped with ProTaper F3 and obturated with AH26 and gutta-percha (GP) using lateral condensation technique.
