Introduction: Obturation with a fluid tight seal has a direct impact on the success of root canal treatment; therefore, sealer bonding and adaptability are critical parameters.Aim: This in-vitro study compared two different root canal sealers with two different obturation techniques in terms of adaptability and push-out bond strength.Materials and methods: Forty extracted single rooted lower premolars were prepared. The samples were divided into two groups (n=20). Group I was obturated with well-Root ST sealer and group II was obturated with ADSEAL sealer. Each group was subdivided into two subgroups (n=10). Subgroup A was obturated with single cone technique and subgroup B was obturated with cold lateral compaction technique. Each subgroup was divided into two subdivisions (n=5). Subdivision 1 for adaptability evaluation and subdivision 2 for push-out bond strength evaluation. Specimens were then sectioned horizontally. Adaptability was evaluated using scanning electron microscope and push-out bond strength was assessed using universal testing machine.Results: Well-Root ST showed higher push-out bond strength and better adaptability than ADSEAL. Cold lateral compaction technique showed higher push-out bond strength than single cone technique, while no significant difference was found between the two techniques regarding adaptability. Middle and apical sections showed higher push-out bond strength and better adaptability than coronal sections. Conclusion:Within the limitation of this study, bio-ceramic sealers are promising root canal sealers. Cold lateral compaction technique improves the push-out bond strength of the root canal sealer; however, technique of obturation showed no significant effect on adaptability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
