Overview: Different types of bacterial species, (), (), and (), cause pulpal and periradicular diseases. Hence, the antibacterial efficacy of endodontic sealers is of utmost importance from a clinical point of view.
Aim: The main objective of the study is to test the antibacterial efficacy of endodontic sealers against endo microflora belonging to , , and species.
Materials And Methods: The antibacterial effectiveness of five endodontic sealers (AH plus, Apexit, EndoRez, Endomethasone, and Tubliseal) was tested by means of the agar-diffusion test (ADT) and direct contact test (DCT). The bacterial suspension of individual microorganisms was applied separately onto the agar plates for ADT. Subsequently, freshly mixed and set sealer was applied on to the sterile discs. After 48 h of incubation, the inhibition zones were measured. For DCT, the sealers were put in 96-well cell culture plates and overlaid with bacterial suspension and brain heart infusion broth. The bacterial growth density of the liquid was tested by spectrophotometry at 0, 2, 4, 6, and 24 h.
Results: The data were analyzed using ANOVA and Turkey's test. The present study showed that Endomethasone and AH Plus had a good antibacterial effect.
Conclusion: In the ADT and DCT, Endomethasone showed the greatest antimicrobial effect against when compared to other endodontic sealers. In the ADT, Apexit had no antimicrobial effect on , whereas AH Plus had the greatest antibacterial effect on and . Whereas in DCT, EndoRez and Endomethasone showed the greatest effect against and .

Objective: Chemicals used during canal disinfection and endodontic sealers have a deleterious effect on dentin bond strength. The aim of this study was to evaluate a novel clinical sequence to improve the resin-dentin microtensile bond strength (μTBS) to endodontically treated teeth.
Materials And Methods: Twenty human molars were distributed in four experimental groups (n = 5, N = 20): C-control group without exposure to any endodontic chemical substances (2.

This micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) analysis in vitro study was designed to compare void volume in root canal fillings performed using the single-cone (SC) technique and the continuous wave condensation (CWC) technique with bioceramic (BC) sealer. Forty human-extracted, single-rooted mandibular premolars were cleaned, shaped, and divided into two groups (n = 20) based on the obturation technique. In the first group, obturation was performed using the CWC technique with TotalFill HiFlow BC sealer.

Introduction: This study aimed to assess the effect of cavity designs on instrumentation, obturation and fracture resistance for mandibular first premolars with Vertucci V canal.
Methods: Mandibular first premolars with Vertucci V canal were scanned with micro-CT. 20 teeth with moderately curved canal were prepared with conservative endodontic cavity (CEC/M) or traditional endodontic cavity (TEC/M), and 30 with severely curved canal were prepared with CEC (CEC/S), modified CEC (MCEC/S) or TEC (TEC/S).

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.

: Apical extrusion of debris can affect the success of endodontic treatments, and the specific performance of certain retreatment systems has not been studied yet. Therefore, the aim of this in vitro study was to quantitatively assess the amount of apically extruded debris produced during retreatment procedures using three rotary NiTi retreatment systems in mature non-resorbed straight roots. : Thirty extracted permanent human teeth with single straight roots were selected.
