Aim: The objective was to evaluate the retrievability of bioceramic sealers in comparison with epoxy resin-based sealers assessed using microcomputed tomography.

Materials And Methods: Four reviewers independently conducted a systematic literature search in four electronic databases. The risk of bias was assessed using modified Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal tools for Quasi-Experimental Studies.

Results: Ten articles were included in this review and all had a moderate risk of bias. The results across the included articles were inconsistent with some indicating easier/difficult removal of bioceramic sealers, while others indicate no difference. The studies varied in terms of the type of bioceramic sealer used, root canal anatomy, and retreatment techniques followed. Due to heterogeneity, only a qualitative analysis was performed and no meta-analysis was conducted.

Conclusion: The quality of evidence is low and no definitive conclusion could be derived regarding the retrievability of bioceramic sealer/AH plus sealer from the root canals during retreatment procedures.

Root canal retreatment (Re-RCT) cases have shortcomings due to the ineffective removal of the root canal filling material, eventually leading to endodontic failure. This study aims to test the comparative efficacy of retreatment files in removing calcium silicate-based sealer and epoxy resin-based sealer. Thirty-two single-rooted teeth were decoronated at 15 mm and bio-mechanical preparation was performed.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the marginal adaptation of a cold ceramic (CC) sealer with the single-cone obturation technique with that of an AH-26 sealer with the lateral compaction technique in single-canal teeth.

Materials And Methods: In this in vitro experimental study, the root canals of 24 extracted single-rooted single-canal teeth were instrumented to F3 files by the crown-down technique and randomly assigned to 2 groups (n = 12). The root canals were obturated with a CC sealer and single-cone obturation technique with 4% gutta-percha in group 1 and with an AH-26 sealer and lateral compaction technique with 2% gutta-percha in group 2.

Introduction Endodontic re-infections primarily occur due to the ingress of bacteria and their toxins through an incomplete seal following obturation. A variety of sealers have been developed to achieve effective integration with the different obturation materials and dentinal tubules. To choose the right endodontic sealer and application for each clinical instance, one must be aware of the attributes of the various sealers commonly used in clinical practice.

This study evaluated the cytotoxicity and biocompatibility of a new strontium silicate-based root canal sealer (C-Root SP), in comparison with those of iRoot SP and AH plus. The sealer extract was diluted to the concentrations of 100%, 75%, 50%, and 25%. L929 cells were cultured for 24 h, and the absorbance value was determined.

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.
