A Comparison Study of Periapical Repair in Dogs' Teeth Using RoekoSeal and AH Plus Root Canal Sealers: A Histopathological Evaluation

Periapical Repair in Dog Teeth: Root Canal Adhesive Filling by Using the Resilon System

“…This trial was also in compliance with the International Guiding Principles for Biomedical Research Involving Animals, on the basis of the protocol recommended by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO 7405-1994: Biological evaluation of dental materials) (23). The operatory procedures were similar to previous studies (19,24). Two 1-year-old healthy beagle dogs weighing between 25 and 30 kg from the same litter were selected.…”

“…In casual disagreements, the examiners came to a consensus. The 10 histologic parameters evaluated (Tables 1 and 2) were based on previous studies (14,19,24).…”

Physical Properties and Interfacial Adaptation of Three Epoxy Resin–based Sealers

“…One of these sealers is AH Plus (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland), which has been extensively evaluated for its physicochemical properties and biological response (8,9). There are other epoxy resin-based sealers commercially available.…”

Contemporary Methacrylate Resin–based Root Canal Sealers Exhibit Different Degrees of Ex Vivo Cytotoxicity When Cured in Their Self-cured Mode

“…Although root fillings are designed to be contained within the canal spaces (3), sealers may be expressed into the periradicular tissues during procedural errors or with the adoption of certain filling techniques, resulting in tissue irritation and delayed healing (4). Contemporary root canal sealers exhibit a variable degree of cytotoxicity depending on the conditions under which they were tested (5,6).…”
