Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Aim One of the essential materials required for root canal treatment is a sealer. This study aimed to assess the solubility, flowability, and setting time of a new endodontic sealer compared to a commercial sealer, AH Plus. Material and Methods In this in vitro study, the new endodontic sealer was prepared using various proportions of the materials and compared with the control group (AH Plus sealer). Standard methods were used to measure solubility, flowability, and setting time. Statistical analysis was performed using t-tests and GraphPad Prism 9 software. Results The new sealer demonstrated lower solubility, higher flowability, and longer setting time compared to AH Plus. Conclusion Given the favorable results of the new sealer in this study, it is recommended for use in future clinical studies.
