“…one of the possible causes for gap presence among the three sealers BC, MTA Fillapex and AH Plus is the obturation technique used. The current results come in accordance with Demiriz et al 2016 (33); while on the other hand, it come contradict to other studies (34,35,36). Polineni et al (34) reported that MTA Fillapex has poor adaptation than BC while the other studies reported that BC has better adaptation than AH Plus in coronal and middle sections (35) or apical section (36).…”

“…Polineni et al (34) reported that MTA Fillapex has poor adaptation than BC while the other studies reported that BC has better adaptation than AH Plus in coronal and middle sections (35) or apical section (36). This difference may be attributed to different obturation technique (34,36), different core materials (34), sample preparation method (36), method of measurement (34) or to different canal preparation size (34,35,36). …”

Introduction: the aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate push-out bond strength and interfacial adaptation to dentine wall of EndoSequence BC (BC) and MTA Fillapex sealers compared to AH Plus sealer (AH+). Methods: sixty-six human extracted single rooted teeth with single root canal were selected and the crowns were removed at the level of CEJ to standardized the roots length (16 mm). Samples were instrumented using ProTaper universal NiTi rotary system up to size F5. After irrigation and smear layer removal samples were randomly divided according to tested sealer used into three groups of 22 sample each, and then obturated using lateral compaction technique and stored for 1 week before testing. Each group was subdivided according to test into two subgroups of 11 sample each, push-out test or interfacial adaptation. Data were statistically analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Tukay's post-hoc test (P≤0.05). Results: AH Plus has a statistically significant higher bond strength value than each of EndoSequence BC group and MTA Fillapex group. Regarding interfacial adaptation there was no statistically significant difference between the three sealers. Conclusion: EndoSequence BC bioceramic sealer, MTA Fillapex MTA based sealer showed their inferiority regarding push-out bond strength when compared to AH Plus resin based sealer. All of the three sealers showed different grades of gap width along the whole length of root canal wall.

“…The adaptation to root canal walls was evaluated using the marginal adaptation, interfacial gaps and void volume in cubic millimetres with mean percentages. The marginal adaptation [ 31 , 48 ] and interfacial gaps [ 39 , 53 , 55 ] were assessed using the Scanning Electron Microscope whereas void volume [ 30 , 41 , 42 , 47 , 51 ] was assessed by Micro-computed Tomography. Kim et al [ 30 ] stated that the voids in the root canal obturation might weaken the filling quality and serve as a hub for microbes by transporting contaminants along the root canal system.…”

Introduction: The aim of this systematic review is to analyse the effect of physico-chemical properties of calcium silicate-based sealers in comparison to epoxy resin sealers in permanent teeth using a single-cone obturation technique. Methods: The study was conducted according to the guidelines of Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Literature search was performed using the PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science, DOAJ, Open Gray with no language restrictions until October 2020. Two reviewers assessed the studies for eligibility. Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations (GRADE) was carried out to assess the evidence. Meta-analysis of the pooled data with subgroups was performed using the RevMan software (p < 0.05). Results: Results from the 28 included studies showed that the mean difference in adaptation to root canal walls (marginal adaptation, interfacial gaps and void volume) for both sealers were non-significant. However, void volume values showed a significant mean difference (p < 0.00001) favouring the calcium silicate-based sealers. The pooled meta-analysis reported statistically significant differences for apical microleakage (p = 0.0007) whilst there were non-significant mean differences for fracture resistance (p = 0.09) and push-out bond strength (p = 0.63). The heterogeneity among the included studies was 97% (I2). Conclusions: Within the limitations of this review, calcium silicate-based sealers demonstrated a similar or superior performance in comparison to resin-based sealers in terms of the physico-chemical properties.

“…The master cone X2 was coated with the sealer, and inserted in to canal to full working length; excess gutta-percha cone was cut off from the canal orifice using a heated condenser instrument; after completion of filling procedure. Then, the specimens were stored in sterile container in 100% humidity for 72 hours at 37 C to allow complete setting of root canal sealer (16) .…”

Aims:To compare the apical sealing ability of TotalFill BC, AH Plus Jet, and GuttaFlow Bioseal sealers. Materials and Methods: Thirty single rooted mandibular premolars were decoronated and standardized at 15mm. The specimens were chemo-mechanically prepared, and randomized into three experimental groups (n =10) according to the root canal sealer tested: TotalFill BC, AH Plus Jet and, GuttaFlow Bioseal. The specimens were filled using single cone technique. The specimens were decalcified, dehydrated, and cleared. The specimens were analyzed by stereomicroscope, and digital images were captured using stereomicroscope attached camera. The apical dye leakage depth was measured and evaluated using four grade scoring system at 10X magnification. The apical micro leakage data among experimental groups were statistically analyzed by one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test and Fisher's exact test at 5% significance. Results: Statistically, there was no significant difference in apical micro leakage among the experimental root canal sealers. (P>.05) Conclusions: In this study, no experimented root canal sealer had perfect sealing ability. The experimental root canal sealers were similar in their sealing ability at apical area of root canal.
