| Summary: | Objective:
To compare the sealing ability, bond strength, and antimicrobial properties of BioRoot root canal sealer (RCS), TotalFill Bioceramic (BC), EndoSeal Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA), and AH Plus in endodontic therapy.
Methods:
Eighty single-rooted human teeth were divided into four groups (n = 20). Sealing ability was assessed via dye penetration, bond strength with push-out tests, and antimicrobial properties using agar diffusion tests against Enterococcus faecalis. Statistical analysis involved one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s Honestly Significant Difference (HSD) tests (P < 0.05).
Results:
BioRoot RCS showed the best sealing ability, highest bond strength, and largest antimicrobial zone. AH Plus had the poorest performance.
Conclusion:
BioRoot RCS is a superior endodontic sealer. |
