Push-out Bond Strength of Two Bioceramic Sealers after Using Various Final Irrigation Solutions: An In Vitro Study

AIM: This study assessed how different final irrigation solutions impact the push-out bond strength (PBS) of EndoSequence Bioceramic (BC) and cerafill BC sealers. METHODS: = 20) and subjected to the PBS test. Upon completion of this test, the dentin disks were scrutinized under a stereomicroscope to determine the mode of failure for each disk. RESULTS: The use of EndoSequence BC sealer in obturation led to the apple vinegar final irrigation group exhibiting significantly higher PBS than the GA and saline solution groups. Furthermore, when implemented with cerafill BC sealer, the EDTA final irrigation solution group displayed the greatest PBS, showing a significant difference compared with the GA and saline solution groups. CONCLUSION: Apple vinegar solution could be a potential alternative to EDTA as a chelating agent during root canal treatment, though further research is required. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Study.
