Abstract: ABSTRACT Aim: The adhesion ability of filling materials to the root canal wall can be affected by the intracanal medicaments. The present study investigated the effect of pretreatment with nano-calcium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide on the bond strength of Endoseal mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) to root canal dentin. Methods: Fifty maxillary incisor teeth were randomly divided into two experimental groups ( n = 20) and a control group ( n = 10) after decoronation near the cementoenamel junction and root canal instrumentation according to the type of intracanal medicament (calcium hydroxide and nano-calcium hydroxide). Each experimental group was divided into two subgroups based on manual and ultrasonic drug removal methods. After removing intracanal medicaments and irrigating them, all the groups were obturated with gutta-percha and Endoseal MTA sealer. Then, the samples were sectioned into cross-sections with a thickness of 2 mm using a diamond disc, and the push-out bond strength test was performed on them. Results: The results showed no significant difference in the mean Endoseal MTA bond strength in terms of the type of intracanal medicament and the method used to remove it from the canal ( P > 0.05). Conclusion: Using the ultrasonic method compared to the manual method in removing intracanal medicament resulted in no significant difference in the strength of the Endoseal MTA bond. Furthermore, the effect of nanoparticle calcium hydroxide on Endoseal MTA bond strength was not different compared to the conventional type of this medication.
