Purpose: To assess the effects of adhesive resin cement, obturation material and dentin location on the retention of glass fiber-reinforced resin composite (FRRC) posts.
Methods: 60 root canals in single rooted teeth were obturated with three different protocols (n= 20), including no obturation material (Control), GuttaFlow and Gutta-percha. Spaces were prepared for glass (FRCR) posts. Subgroups of the roots (n=10) were allocated for receiving posts luted with RelyX Unicem or Calibra resin cements. The specimens were mounted in plastic molds using epoxy resin. They were sectioned transversely to obtain three 1 mm-thick coronal, middle and apical slabs. Post retention was measured using a universal testing machine. The push-out test was performed at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/minute until post dislodgement occurred. Dislodged posts were examined microscopically to evaluate the mode of failure. Data were analyzed using univariate tests to reveal the effects of dependent variables and their interactions on post retention. Tukey test was used to determine significant differences for post retention in obturation material and dentin location groups. P-values ≤ 0.05 were considered significant.
Results: The adhesive resin cement, obturation material, dentin location and cement obturation materials interaction affected post retention. The mean bond strength was higher for posts cemented with RelyX Unicem than for those cemented with Calibra resin cements. Post retention in coronal locations was significantly superior to middle or apical locations. The failure mode was primarily mixed.
Clinical Significance: When using RelyX Unicem cement for luting glass fiber-reinforced root canal posts, complete removal of all obturation materials from the post space significantly improves the retention. Although Calibra cement is less technique sensitive than RelyX Unicem resin cement, it produces notably lower retention of fiber-reinforced glass root canal posts.

Aim: This study aimed to investigate and compare the total and sectional bond strengths of three endodontic sealers when used with the single-cone obturation technique.
Materials And Methods: Forty-five human maxillary central incisors were prepared and divided into three groups according to the type of endodontic sealer: Group I (Gutta-percha/AH Plus Jet), group II (Gutta-percha/GuttaFlow 2), and group III (RealSeal/RealSeal SE). All canals were filled with the single-cone technique.

Background/purpose: The obturation of canals with irregular structures is still a challenge for single cone obturation technique (SC). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the presence and distribution of voids using SC with different sealer placement methods in the canal with a simulated band-shaped isthmus.
Materials And Methods: 3D-printed root canal models with band-shaped isthmuses were randomly divided into four groups according to different obturation methods.

Background/purpose: The impact of thermal behavior on the clinical performance of gutta-percha points (GP) is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the thermal behavior of three different types of GP and their temperature changes (TC) in a simulated clinical environment.
Materials And Methods: The GP tested were Conform Fit® Gutta-Percha Points (CF), Autofit™ Feathered Tip Gutta Percha (AF), and Gutta Percha Root Canal Points (GC).

Introduction: In children, polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is a commonly used material for fabrication of dental prostheses, such as obturators, removable space maintainers, habit-breaking appliances, removable orthodontic appliances, and removable partial and complete dentures. Regular cleaning of such prostheses is vital for maintaining the health of the oral tissues as well as the longevity of the prosthesis. The chemical method of disinfection, using different chemical cleansers, is commonly used for cleaning a dental prosthesis.

Aim To compare the quality of obturation using WVC (warm vertical compaction), CLC (cold lateral compaction), injectable (iFill), and Thermafil (GuttaCore) techniques, along with hydraulic condensation of bioceramic (BC) sealer, and evaluating the percentage of gutta-percha (GP), sealer, and voids in simulated internal resorptive lesions, using an advanced stereomicroscope with ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA). Methods and material In this study, 40 freshly extracted maxillary incisors were collected, and endodontic instrumentation was done to working length using hand K-files. Simulated internal resorption cavities were created in the middle-apical third of the roots after horizontal sectioning and were re-cemented.
