The purpose of this systematic review was to determine whether smear layer removal
reduces leakage of obturated human teeth in vitro. PubMed was searched for articles …

One of the recent trends in endodontics has been the development of bonded obturating
materials, in an effort to provide a more effective seal coronally and apically. Materials …

The purpose of this study was to compare bacterial leakage using Streptococcus mutans
and Enterococcus faecalis through gutta-percha and a thermoplastic synthetic polymer …

Aim To study the structure of the apical region of human teeth with emphasis on dentinal
tubules and their branches. Methodology This descriptive histological study employed …

Cavity configuration factor (C-factor) is the ratio of the bonded surface area in a cavity to the
unbonded surface area. In a box-like class I cavity, there may be five times more bonded …

Background The authors evaluated the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth
filled with either gutta-percha or a new resin-based obturation material. Methods The …

Endodontics is the prevention, diagnosis and management of diseases of the tooth pulp and
the tissues surrounding the root of a tooth. This new edition brings trainees up to date with …

INTRODUCTION: Four generations of methacrylate resin–based sealers have been
available commercially. Three of these were introduced during the last 5 years when the …

Aim To evaluate setting time, solubility and disintegration, flow, film thickness, and
dimensional change following setting in a dual‐cured resin root canal sealer EpiphanyTM …

New obturation biomaterials have been introduced over the past decade to improve the seal
of the root canal system. However, it is not clear whether they have really produced a three …
