Apical sealing ability of two novel root canal sealers: An ex-vivo study

Abstract: Objective:The objective was to compare the sealing ability of two root canal sealers viz.: Hybrid Root SEAL (Sun Medical, Tokyo, Japan) and iRoot SP (Innovative BioCeramix Inc., Vancouver, Canada). Materials and Methods: A sample of 60 permanent single rooted, human maxillary central incisors of similar sizes was selected for the study. The teeth were decoronated and randomly divided into two groups viz.: Group A and Group B, comprising of thirty teeth each. In Group A, Hybrid Root SEAL and Group B, iRoot SP w… Show more

“…The three-dimensional obturation of the root canal system has been widely accepted as one of the key factors for successful endodontic treatment. 1,2 Obturation with inadequate apical sealing can cause microleakage due to voids or gaps in the root canal which allow the entry of oral microorganisms, thus leading to endodontic treatment failure. 2,3 A frequently used obturation material that has become the standard material to date is gutta-percha in combination with a root canal sealer.…”
