Objective: To compare the sealing ability, bond strength, and antimicrobial properties of BioRoot root canal sealer (RCS), TotalFill Bioceramic (BC), EndoSeal Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA), and AH Plus in endodontic therapy.
Methods: Eighty single-rooted human teeth were divided into four groups (n = 20). Sealing ability was assessed via dye penetration, bond strength with push-out tests, and antimicrobial properties using agar diffusion tests against . Statistical analysis involved one-way ANOVA and Tukey's Honestly Significant Difference (HSD) tests ( < 0.05).
Results: BioRoot RCS showed the best sealing ability, highest bond strength, and largest antimicrobial zone. AH Plus had the poorest performance.
Conclusion: BioRoot RCS is a superior endodontic sealer.

Objective: Understanding the sealing ability of restorative materials to prevent microleakage and its consequent complications-such as secondary caries, postoperative sensitivity, and restoration failure-is imperative in clinical dentistry. This study aims to compare the microleakage performance of four restorative materials-bioactive composite resin (Activa Pronto), alkasite restorative (Cention N), compomer (Dyract Flow), and glass ionomer cement (Type 2 GIC)-in Class V cavities of extracted premolar teeth.
Materials And Methods: Forty non-carious, intact premolar teeth were selected and prepared with standardized Class V cavities.

Objective Proper seal achieved via placement of an effective intraorifice barrier curtails the occurrence of post-bleaching consequences and reinforces the cervical tooth structure. Hence, our present study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of three different light-cure biomaterials as an intraorifice barrier. Methodology Forty-eight sound human premolars were obtained, and root canal treatment procedures were accomplished according to the standard protocol.

Introduction: Furcation perforation is a common dental issue that can result in substantial tooth loss if not repaired with a material that effectively seals the area. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Biodentine have been previously studied for their sealing capabilities, but Bio-C Repair is a relatively new material that is yet to be evaluated. This study sought to compare and evaluate the sealing potential of MTA, Biodentine, and Bio-C Repair as furcation perforation repair materials using the glucose penetration method.
