“…This behavior is probably because of the high solubility (22) and no presence of hydrophilic characteristics (26). However, with regards to physicalchemical properties, this sealer presented satisfactory results compared to other sealers (7,27).…”

“…Penetration of endodontic sealers also presents advantages because they are biologically beneficial, due to their antibacterial effects on the infected dentinal tubules (6). The flow of endodontic sealers is related to their physical-chemical properties as well as to a good root canal sealing at the moment of root filling (7). Some properties of root canal sealers are well known.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the filling effectiveness and dentinal penetration of the sealers AH Plus, Pulp Canal Sealer EWT, Sealapex and MTA Fillapex applied according to the vertical condensation technique using thermoplastic gutta-percha. Forty singlerooted teeth were selected. After chemical-mechanical preparation and root-canal filling, sections of the root (2, 4 and 6 mm from the apex) were obtained and analyzed by stereo microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy. Data were tabulated and statistically analyzed. With regard to the assessment of void spaces in the filling material at 2 mm from the apex, the sealers showed similar results, but at 4 and 6 mm from the apex, MTA Fillapex had inferior performance compared to AH Plus (at 4 mm), Pulp Canal Sealer EWT (at 4 and 6 mm) and Sealapex (at 6 mm) (p<0.05). With regard to the penetration into dentinal tubules at 2 mm from the apex, the sealers also showed similar results, but at 4 and 6 mm Pulp Canal Sealer EWT had an inferior performance compared to MTA Fillapex and AH Plus, respectively (p<0.05). All four sealers were found to be similar regarding adaptation of the filling material to the root canal walls, except the MTA Fillapex, which showed failures at 4 and 6 mm from the root apex. With regard to the ability to penetrate into the dentinal tubules, the sealers were found to be equivalent, except for the Pulp Canal Sealer EWT as it had poorer results at 4 and 6 mm compared to MTA Fillapex and AH Plus, respectively.

“…Another study showed no difference between the bond strength values of AH Plus and MTA Fillapex (28). Thus, considering MTA Fillapex, a paste-topaste sealer, two chemical reactions have been identified as being responsible for the setting and physical-mechanical properties of this material: the progressive hydration of orthosilicate ions occurs followed by a reaction between MTA and salicylate resin (21,27). This allows the formation of an ionic polymer containing calcium silicate particles, which reacts with water (7,29).…”

“…Water diffusion into sealers may result in the deterioration of their physical-mechanical properties, reducing the durability of the interfaces by hydrolysis and microcrack formation (30). However, water absorption could be beneficial because it promotes an expansion of the material, which may promote proper sealing (27). Therefore, the presence of moist conditions may have enhanced the chemical reactions between the sealer components.…”

“…Broon et al [12] encontrou um tempo de presa inicial para o MTA-Angelus de 14 minutos e para um específico cimento Portland Branco um tempo de 15 minutos. É necessário salientar que diferentes tipos de cimento Portland e cimento MTA possuem diferentes tempos de presa, assim como Vitti et al [13] estudando MTA Fillapex encontraram um tempo de presa inicial de 2 horas e 27 minutos.…”

ResumoEste estudo avaliou a influência da adição de um composto inorgânico radiopacificador sobre as propriedades do cimento Portland Branco, a fim de viabilizar sua utilização como cimento endodôntico, semelhante ao MTA. Primeiramente, cimento Portland Branco foi caracterizado por difração de raios-X, os resultados mostram que a amostra possui composição semelhante ao MTA, com exceção de bismuto na composição do material. O bismuto, segundo a literatura, é o agente radiopacificador presente no cimento endodôntico na base de MTA. Posteriormente foi selecionado um composto inorgânico, devido seu potencial radiopacificador para continuação do estudo, sendo este o Carbonato de Bismuto (Bi2(CO3)). Neste estudo foram avaliadas as seguintes propriedades; Tempo de presa inicial, compressão dimensional, solubilidade e alteração diametral, sendo todos os ensaios seguindo de acordo com a norma ISO 6878:2001. Para a realização destes ensaios, foram utilizadas amostras contendo 15% de Carbonato de Bismuto em sua composição. Comparando os resultados obtidos neste estudo, foi verificado de acordo com a literatura, que cimento Portland Branco acrescido de 15% de Carbonato de Bismuto possui propriedades semelhantes às do MTA, sugerindo assim, a viabilidade de sua utilização como alternativa menos onerosa aos demais materiais comercializados.

WHITE CEMENT EVALUATION PLUS BISMUTH CARBONATE AS A ROOT CANAL RESTORATIVE CEMENT AbstractThis study evaluated the influence of the addition of an inorganic compound radiopacifier on the properties of the white Portland cement, in order to facilitate its use as cement endodontic, similar to the MTA. First, Portland White cement was characterized by X-ray diffraction; the results show that the sample had similar composition the MTA, with the exception of bismuth in the composition of the material. Bismuth, according to literature, is the radiopacifier agent present in the sealer in the MTA base. Afterwards, an inorganic compound was selected due its potential radiopacifier for further study, which is the carbonate Bismuth (Bi2(CO3)). In this study the following properties were evaluated; Initial setting time, dimensional compression, solubility and diametrical alteration, all following tests according to ISO 6878: 2001. To achieve these tests, samples containing 15% bismuth carbonate in its composition. Comparing the results obtained in this study, it was proved, according to literature, that white Portland cement plus 15 % bismuth carbonate has properties similar to the MTA, suggesting the feasibility of its use as less costly alternative to other marketed materials.
