Int Endod J 2024; 57:713-726. [PMID: 38467586 DOI: 10.1111/iej.14054] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Revised: 01/12/2024] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 03/13/2024]
Abstract
AIM To evaluate the inflammatory reaction and the ability to induce mineralization activity of a new repair material, NeoPUTTY (NPutty; NuSmile, USA), in comparison with Bio-C Repair (BC; Angelus, Brazil) and MTA Repair HP (MTA HP; Angelus, Brazil). METHODOLOGY Polyethylene tubes were filled with materials or kept empty (control group, CG) and implanted in subcutaneous tissue of rats for 7, 15, 30, and 60 days (n = 6/group). Capsule thickness, number of inflammatory cells (ICs), fibroblasts, collagen content, and von Kossa analysis were performed. Unstained sections were evaluated under polarized light and by immunohistochemistry for osteocalcin (OCN). Data were submitted to two-way anova followed by Tukey's test (p ≤ .05), except for OCN. OCN data were submitted to Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn and Friedman post hoc tests followed by the Nemenyi test at a significance level of 5%. RESULTS At 7, 15, and 30 days, thick capsules containing numerous ICs were seen around the materials. At 60 days, a moderate inflammatory reaction was observed for NPutty, BC while MTA HP presented thin capsules with moderate inflammatory cells. In all periods, NPutty specimens contained the highest values of ICs (p < .05). From 7 to 60 days, the number of ICs reduced significantly while an increase in the number of fibroblasts and birefringent collagen content was observed. At 7 and 15 days, no significant difference was observed in the immunoexpression of OCN (p > .05). At 30 and 60 days, NPutty showed the lowest values of OCN (p < .05). At 60 days, a similar immunoexpression was observed for BC and MTA HP (p > .05). In all time intervals, capsules around NPutty, BC, and MTA HP showed von Kossa-positive and birefringent structures. CONCLUSIONS Despite the greater inflammatory reaction promoted by NeoPutty than BC and MTA HP, the reduction in the thickness of capsules, the increase in the number of fibroblasts, and the reduction in the number of ICs indicate that this bioceramic material is biocompatible Furthermore, NeoPutty presents the ability to induce mineralization activity.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the application of universal adhesive in the etch-and-rinse (ER) strategy with a manual brush (MB) or rotary brush (RB) in adhesion to dentin impregnated (WB) or not (NB) with bioceramic sealer, at 24 h and 1 year. Eighty-eight crowns of bovine incisors were divided into four groups (n=22): WB-MB, WB-RB, NB-MB, NB-RB. After the restorative protocol, dentin penetrability was evaluated by confocal microscopy. Bond strength was evaluated by microtensile test. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA/Tukey tests (α=0.05). NB-RB and WB-RB exhibited greater extensions of resin tags in dentin. At 24 h, WB-RB and NB-MB showed the highest and lowest values of bond strength, respectively. At 1 year, WB-MB and WB-RB demonstrated the highest bond strength values. The RB increases the formation of resin tags and residues of bioceramic sealer provides higher bond strength in the ER strategy.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effect on adhesive layer thickness, bond strength, and adhesive failure pattern of the application of universal adhesive (Scotchbond Universal) using either manual or rotary brush in dentin previously impregnated with bioceramic sealer (Sealer Plus BC) using a manual brush, at 24 h and 1 year. Eighty-eight bovine crowns were divided into four groups (n = 22) according to the intervention: (i) use of bioceramic sealer and adhesive application using manual brush, (ii) use of bioceramic sealer and adhesive application using rotary brush, (iii) use of resin sealer and adhesive application using manual brush, and (iv) use of resin sealer and adhesive application using rotary brush. Subsequently, specimens were restored with a composite resin (Filtek Z-250). Adhesive layer thickness was evaluated using confocal microscopy. Bond strength was assessed using the microtensile bond strength test, and adhesive failure pattern was evaluated under a stereomicroscope. Data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA/Tukey tests. Specimens where a rotary brush had been used exhibited lower adhesive layer thickness. Specimens treated with resin sealer and using a manual brush showed lower bond strength values and a higher occurrence of adhesive failures at 24 h and 1 year than specimens treated with bioceramic sealer and using rotary brush for adhesive application.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The focus of this triple-blind randomized study was to evaluate the biocompatibility of a new root canal filling sealer (RCFS) based on tristrontium aluminate and dodecacalcium hepta-aluminate in living tissue. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty-five Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) were divided into three groups: control (polyethylene), sealer (Bio-C Sealer, Londrina, PR, Brazil), and experimental (tristrontium aluminate and dodecacalcium hepta-aluminate). The tissues were analyzed under an optical microscope to assess different cellular events at different time intervals (7, 15, and 30 days). STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn (p < 0.05) tests. RESULTS In the initial period, a moderate inflammatory infiltrate was observed, similar between the endodontic cements groups (p = 0.725). The intensity of the infiltrate decreased with time, with no significant difference among the groups (p > 0.05). The number of young fibroblasts was elevated in all groups evaluated at 7 days. The experimental group showed the highest number of cells at all time intervals, but the difference with the sealer group at 7 (p = 0.001) and 15 days (p = 0.002) and the control group at 30 days was not significant (p = 0.001). Regarding tissue repair events, the amount of collagen fibers increased over the experimental intervals, with no significant difference between the sealer and control groups (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION The experimental RCFS based on calcium and strontium aluminates proved to be biocompatible for use in close contact with periapical tissue, inducing a low inflammatory reaction and favoring rapid tissue repair.

Abstract
Objectives The aim was to determine whether premixed calcium silicate-based root canal sealers have better biological properties than AH Plus. Materials and Methods Searches of studies published up to January 2023 were performed in the PubMed/MEDLINE and EMBASE and via other methods (databases of the International Endodontic Journal, Journal of Endodontics, and gray literature). The inclusion criteria were in vivo animal and in vitro studies that analyzed the response in the dorsal subcutaneous tissue of rats, cell viability, and genotoxicity. Systematic Review Centre for Laboratory Animal Experimentation Risk of Bias (RoB) tool for in vivo studies and modified CONSORT checklist for in vitro were appraised. Meta-analysis was performed using the Stata. Results Fifty-two studies were included. In the RoB, in vivo studies fulfilled 20%-50% of the items and in vitro 60%-100%. The studies included in the meta-analysis demonstrated better histocompatibility with the premixed calcium silicate-based sealers at 30 days and greater cell viability with these sealers when used in undiluted extracts in experimental period of 72 h and in extracts with 1:2 and 1:4 dilution in 24 and 72 h. In contrast, no difference between materials was found concerning genotoxicity. Conclusion Premixed calcium silicate-based root canal sealers have better histocompatibility and are less cytotoxic than the epoxy resin-based sealer AH Plus, demonstrating favorable biological behavior.

Abstract
This study aimed to review the considerations for choosing a suitable sealer according to various endodontic scenarios. An electronic search of PubMed, Scopus, and the Web of Science was undertaken for the keywords of 'sealer choosing', 'appropriate sealer', 'suitable sealer', 'sealer for clinical scenario', and 'sealer for clinical situations'. However, the literature review revealed a lack of studies with practical clinical recommendations regarding the choice of appropriate endodontic root canal sealers for particular clinical situations of root canal treatment. Therefore, a narrative review was undertaken under the basis of the characteristics of an epoxy resin-based sealer (ERS) versus a calcium silicate-based sealer (CSS). Based on the evidence found through the review, the choice of an appropriate sealer in a variety of clinical scenarios was proposed. An ERS is recommended for one-visit non-vital cases, teeth with periodontal involvement, cracked teeth, and internal root resorption without root perforation. A CSS is recommended for vital or non-vital cases in multiple visits, teeth with internal root resorption with perforation or internal approach for external cervical resorption, teeth with open apices, and teeth with iatrogenic aberrations.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to evaluate the toxicological action of AH Plus (AHP), Bio-C Sealer (BCS), and EndoSequence BC Sealer (ESB), using Drosophila melanogaster as the model organism performing in vivo and ex vivo analysis. D. melanogaster were exposed for 10 days to three concentrations (5 mg/ml, 10 mg/ml, and 20 mg/ml) of AHP, BCS, and ESB sealers mixed with 10 ml of standard diet. During this period, the mortality of flies was evaluated. On the 11th day, the locomotor activity test was performed and the flies were euthanized for oxidative damage analysis (reactive species and lipid peroxidation) and cell viability (resazurin reduction). For the mortality curves evaluation, the log-rank test (Mantel-Cox) was used. For the analysis of other data, a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was applied, followed by Tukey's post hoc test (α = 0.05). Regarding mortality, there were no significant differences. The locomotor activity was reduced, mainly in the two highest concentrations of AHP and BCS. Besides, reactive species generation was bigger in the AHP 20 mg/ml group. AHP induced a lipid peroxidation increase in all three concentrations tested, when compared to other sealers. Considering cell viability, the two highest concentrations of AHP reduced this parameter; while in other sealers, viability was reduced only in the highest concentration. AHP showed changes in oxidative markers that led to greater damage to the flies.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate and compare dentinal tubule penetration and push-out bond strength of BIO-C ION+, AH Plus and NanoSeal-S using Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM) and Universal Testing Machine (UTM). Materials & method Sixty human mandibular premolars were prepared using ProTaper Gold till F3. Samples were then divided into 3 groups: Group I (n = 20) BIO-C ION + sealer, Group II (n = 20) AH Plus and Group III (n = 20) NanoSeal-S sealer. Groups were then sub-divided into two sub groups: In Subgroup A (n = 10) samples were obturated using single-cone with 0.1 % Rhodamine B dye and in Subgroup B (n = 10) samples were obturated using single cone. The samples were then transversely sectioned into coronal, middle and apical segments, samples in subgroup A & B were then submitted to CLSM analysis and UTM respectively. Results The Bond Strength data showed following means (MPa): Group I Subgroup B: (BIO-C ION+) coronal (1.64), middle (1.25), apical (0.93); Group II Subgroup B: (AH Plus) coronal (2.20), middle (1.85) apical (1.38) and Group III Subgroup B: (NanoSeal-S) coronal (1.26), middle (0.94), apical (0.58). The dentinal tubule penetration data showed following means: (μm) Group I Subgroup A (BIO-C ION+) coronal (1184.69), middle (997.03), apical (637.26); Group II Subgroup-A AH Plus (864.14) and NanoSeal-S (495.64). Statistical analysis (two-way ANOVA, Tukey's Post Hoc Test) showed significant difference among sealers (p < 0.001) and root canal thirds (p < 0.001). Conclusion The results of the study concluded that BIO-C ION + sealer showed maximum dentinal tubule penetration and AH Plus demonstrated maximum push-out bond strength.

Odontology 2024:10.1007/s10266-024-00901-9.

Abstract
This scoping review aimed to map whether the use of sonic and ultrasonic methods to activate the endodontic sealer improves the sealer filling quality in the root canal, considering the bond strength and intratubular penetration to the root dentin as evaluation criteria. The study protocol was prospectively registered and is available online ( https://osf.io/x5fma/ ). Reporting was based on PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews. The search was performed in Embase, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. We selected studies without time and language restrictions that used sonic or ultrasonic methods to activate endodontic sealer, whose outcomes were bond strength and intratubular penetration. Three researchers independently selected the articles and collected data. Of 1422 articles, 19 were read in full and 13 studies were included. The vast majority of studies opted for direct activation of the endodontic sealer. The most investigated sealers were the epoxy resin-based sealers, and the ultrasonic activation method was the most explored. For the bond strength outcome, there was a trend toward higher values when the sealer was activated ultrasonically, but the findings seem to be divergent. The sonic activation was not effective for its intended purpose. For the outcome of intratubular penetration, the vast majority of studies indicate that the use of sonic and ultrasonic methods to activate the endodontic sealer is capable of increasing intratubular penetration. The use of sonic and ultrasonic methods to directly activate the endodontic sealer can increase the intratubular penetration of the sealer, but their benefits on the bond strength are uncertain.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The present study aimed to determine in silico toxicity predictions of test compounds from hydraulic calcium silicate-based sealers (HCSBS) and AH Plus and computationally simulate the interaction between these substances and mediators of periapical inflammation via molecular docking. MATERIALS AND METHODS All chemical information of the test compounds was obtained from the PubChem site. Predictions for bioavailability and toxicity analyses were determined by the Molinspiration Cheminformatics, pkCSM, ProTox-II and OSIRIS Property Explorer platforms. Molecular docking was performed using the Autodock4 AMDock v.1.5.2 program to analyse interactions between proteins (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and TNF-α) and ligands (calcium silicate hydrate, zirconium oxide, bisphenol-A epoxy resin, dibenzylamine, iron oxide and calcium tungstate) to establish the affinity and bonding mode between systems. RESULTS Bisphenol-A epoxy resin had the lowest maximum dose tolerated in humans and was the test compound with the largest number of toxicological properties (hepatotoxicity, carcinogenicity and irritant). All systems had favourable molecular docking. However, the ligands bisphenol-A epoxy resin and dibenzylamine had the greatest affinity with the cytokines tested. CONCLUSION In silico predictions and molecular docking pointed the higher toxicity and greater interaction with mediators of periapical inflammation of the main test compounds from AH Plus compared to those from HCSBS. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This is the first in silico study involving endodontic materials and may serve as the basis for further research that can generate more data, producing knowledge on the interference of each chemical compound in the composition of different root canal sealers.

[PMID: 38041883 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2023.106156] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2023] [Revised: 09/26/2023] [Accepted: 09/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/04/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION To develop a calcium silicate (CaSi)-based cement containing dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and cement deliver device for new root canal filling technique, and to assess the flow behavior, leakage, and root canal filling quality of CaSi containing DMSO. METHODS CaSi containing DMSO (CSC-DMSO) and CaSi containing PEG (CSC-PEG) were prepared, and the flow characteristics of both cements were compared in gypsum and resin channels using a high-speed camera. Eight root canals were obturated by CSC-DMSO or CSC-PEG using a cement delivery device, and root canal filling quality was assessed in terms of filling length using periapical radiographs. The filling length was evaluated by 'apico-coronal extension,' measuring length in reference to apical constriction. Microleakage was measured for thirty human molars that were randomly filled with CSC-DMSO, CSC-PEG, or gutta-percha and AH plus. Preliminary obturation of CSC-DMSO with cement delivery device in human teeth was analyzed in terms of filling length and void, using periapical radiographs. Statistical analysis was performed with the Kruskal Wallis test for simulated root canal fillings and one-way ANOVA for leakage test. RESULTS The flow speed of CSC-DMSO reduced in gypsum channels compared to resin channels, but CSC-PEG did not exhibit significant differences in the channels. The median absolute value of apico-coronal extension was significantly lower in CSC-DMSO compared to CSC-PEG (p < 0.05). Microleakage did not statistically differ between the groups (p > 0.05). In the preliminary obturation, the mean apico-coronal extension of CSC-DMSO was -0.297 ± 0.724 mm, while CSC-PEG was not feasible due to excess apical extrusions. CONCLUSIONS CSC-DMSO could be considered as an alternative filling material for root canal obturation.

Abstract
The effect of ultrasonic activation (UA) on marginal adaptation, intratubular penetration and bond strength provided by three calcium silicate-based sealers was evaluated. Ninety-six distobuccal root canals of maxillary molars were randomly divided into 8 groups (n = 12) according to the sealer and UA application: EndoSequence BC sealer (ESBC), Sealer Plus BC (SPBC) and Bio-C Sealer (BCS), using AH Plus (AH) as a control group. The specimens were sectioned at 2, 4 and 6 mm from the apex. The data were statistically analysed using Kruskall-Wallis, Dunn, Mann-Whitney and chi-squared tests. UA improved the marginal adaptation of ESBC (6 mm), SPBC (all levels), BCS (2/4 mm) and AH (4 mm) (p < 0.05); the bond strength of SBPC (2 mm) and BCS (6 mm) were also improved (p < 0.05). The UA of endodontic silicate-based sealers improved the marginal adaptation in all levels and the bond strength of SBPC and BCS sealer.

Abstract
We investigated three calcium silicate-based sealers with respect to their chemical characterization, cytotoxicity, and attachment to RAW264.7 cells. BioRoot RCS (BR), Bio-C Sealer (BC), and Sealer Plus BC (SPBC) were assessed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) (n = 4) for elemental characterization, and using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to evaluate cell morphology and adhesion. Cytotoxicity was determined at different dilutions (1:1, 1:2, and 1:5) using the succinate dehydrogenase activity (MTT assay). Statistical analysis was performed for normal distribution using the Shapiro-Wilk test and for homoscedasticity using Levene's test, and one-way ANOVA, Tukey's/Dunnett's post hoc tests for cell viability and XRF (α = 0.05). Calcium silicate hydrate and calcium hydroxide were detected by FTIR in all groups. EDX detected a higher calcium content for BR and SPBC and aluminum only in the premixed sealers. XRF detected the highest calcium release in BR (p < 0.05). The surface morphology showed irregular precipitates for all the sealers. SPBC at a 1:2 dilution resulted in the lowest cell viability compared to BR (p < 0.05) and BC (p < 0.05). The calcium silicate-based sealers produced a statistically significant reduction in cellular viability at a 1:1 dilution compared to the control group (p < 0.0001). All the sealers maintained viability above 70%.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study evaluated in vitro the effect of two different drying protocols on the dentin bond strength of two different bioceramic sealers (Sealer Plus BC [SP] and Bio C Sealer [BCS]). Bond strength and failure mode were evaluated according to the sealer, drying protocol, and root canal third. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty extracted human mandibular single-rooted premolars were selected after anatomical standardization. The crowns were sectioned and root canals were prepared. Roots were randomly divided into four groups (n = 15 each). Each group was assigned a combination of one of the evaluated sealers (SP or BCS) and one of the drying protocols: canals dried with paper points (PP) or irrigation with saline followed by aspiration with silicon cannulas (IA). Obturations were performed using a single-cone technique. The teeth were temporized and stored for 7 days (100% humidity, 37°C). Roots were cut to obtain 2 mm thick discs for each third (coronal, middle, and apical). Push-out tests were performed on a universal testing machine, and the bond strength (MPa) of each specimen was calculated by dividing the load (N) by the interface area. Failure type was assessed under ×4 magnification. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Data were statistically analyzed with a significance set at 5%. An analysis of variance test followed by the Games-Howell post-hoc test was used to compare the mean values between the groups and the interaction of the variables. RESULTS The predominant failure type was cohesive, followed by mixed failure and adhesive in all groups. The apical third presented the highest bond strength (p < 0.05) regardless of the group, followed by the middle and coronal thirds. Overall, the SP PP group had the highest mean bond strength (p < 0.01), but the SP sealer was negatively affected by the IA drying protocol in the coronal and middle thirds. The BCS presented similar results within the third stage, regardless of the drying protocol. CONCLUSIONS Sealer Plus BC had a higher bond strength than Bio C Sealer, but it was negatively affected by the irrigation-aspiration protocol in the coronal and middle thirds. For the apical third, there was no difference between the groups; thus, a similar bond strength was observed regardless of the drying protocol or sealer.

Abstract
Background/purpose The mineralized tissue-inductive ability and anti-inflammatory properties of hydraulic calcium silicate-based (HCSB) sealers have not been fully elucidated. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the HCSB sealers Bio-C sealer (BioC), Well-Root ST (WST), and EndoSequence BC sealer (BC), on osteoblastic differentiation/mineralization and proinflammatory cytokine synthesis by macrophages. Materials and methods Diluted extracts of set sealers or calcium chloride solutions of approximately equivalent Ca2+ concentrations were applied to a mouse osteoblastic cell line (Kusa-A1 cells) and lipopolysaccharide-stimulated mouse macrophage cell line (RAW264.7 cells). Expressions of osteoblastic markers in Kusa-A1 cells and proinflammatory cytokines in RAW264.7 cells were evaluated by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Mineralized nodules were detected by Alizarin red S staining. Cell proliferation was assessed by WST-8 assay and cell attachment on set sealers was examined by scanning electron microscopy. Results The three sealer extracts significantly upregulated osteocalcin and osteopontin mRNA, and promoted significant mineralized nodule formation in Kusa-A1 cells. The three sealer extracts significantly downregulated the mRNA expressions of interleukin (IL)-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and protein levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in RAW264.7 cells. Calcium chloride solutions induced osteoblastic differentiation/mineralization. AH Plus Jet (a control sealer) extract did not. The three HCSB sealers did not interfere with the growth and attachment of Kusa-A1 cells. Conclusion BioC, WST, and BC were biocompatible, upregulated osteoblastic differentiation/mineralization, and downregulated proinflammatory cytokine expression. Ca2+ released from HCSB sealers might be involved, at least in part, in the induction of osteoblastic differentiation/mineralization.

Abstract
Prolonged inflammation induced by orthopedic metallic implants can critically affect the success rates, which can even lead to aseptic loosening and consequent implant failure. In the case of adverse clinical conditions involving osteoporosis, orthopedic trauma and implant corrosion-wear in peri-implant region, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) activity is enhanced which leads to increased oxidative stress. Metallic implant materials (such as titanium and its alloys) can induce increased amount of ROS, thereby critically influencing the healing process. This will consequently affect the bone remodeling process and increase healing time. The current review explores the ROS generation aspects associated with Ti-based metallic biomaterials and the various surface modification strategies developed specifically to improve antioxidant aspects of Ti surfaces. The initial part of this review explores the ROS generation associated with Ti implant materials and the associated ROS metabolism resulting in the formation of superoxide anion, hydroxyl radical and hydrogen peroxide radicals. This is followed by a comprehensive overview of various organic and inorganic coatings/materials for effective antioxidant surfaces and outlook in this research direction. Overall, this review highlights the critical need to consider the aspects of ROS generation as well as oxidative stress while designing an implant material and its effective surface engineering.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the tissue repair capacity of four bioceramic endodontic sealers by quantifying type I and III collagen fibers. The following sealers were tested: EndoSequence BC Sealer (Brasseler, Brasseler, Savannah, USA), Bio C Sealer (Angelus, Londrina, Brazil), Bioroot RCS (Septodont, Santa Catarina, Brazil), and Sealer Plus BC (MKLife, Porto Alegre, Brazil). Polyethylene tubes 1.5 mm in diameter and 1 cm in length containing the endodontic sealers were implanted in the subcutaneous tissue of five rats (Rattus norvegicus albinus, Wistar lineage). After 14 days, the animals were euthanized, and collagen fibers were quantified from the histological tissue sections. Given a non-normal distribution of the data, a gamma regression with log link function was employed and implemented through the generalized linear models module, was used to test whether there was a significant difference between the sealers. The pairwise comparison was performed using Least significant difference. There were significant differences between the sealers for type I (p=0.001), type III (p=0.023), and total collagen (p=0.002). Overall, Bioroot sealer was statistically superior to the other sealers, except in the analysis of type III collagen, in which there was no difference between the Bioroot sealer and Bio C Sealer sealer and the control group (p>0.05). Bioroot RCS bioceramic endodontic sealer stimulates a greater production of collagen.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite formation on endodontic hydraulic calcium silicate cements (HCSCs) plays a significant role in sealing the root canal system and elevating the hard-tissue inductivity of the materials. This study evaluated the in vivo apatite-forming ability of 13 new-generation HCSCs using an original HCSC (white ProRoot MTA: PR) as a positive control. The HCSCs were loaded into polytetrafluoroethylene tubes and implanted in the subcutaneous tissue of 4-week-old male Wistar rats. At 28 days after implantation, hydroxyapatite formation on the HCSC implants was assessed with micro-Raman spectroscopy, surface ultrastructural and elemental characterization, and elemental mapping of the material-tissue interface. Seven new-generation HCSCs and PR had a Raman band for hydroxyapatite (v1 PO43- band at 960 cm-1) and hydroxyapatite-like calcium-phosphorus-rich spherical precipitates on the surfaces. The other six HCSCs with neither the hydroxyapatite Raman band nor hydroxyapatite-like spherical precipitates did not show calcium-phosphorus-rich hydroxyapatite-layer-like regions in the elemental mapping. These results indicated that 6 of the 13 new-generation HCSCs possessed little or no ability to produce hydroxyapatite in vivo, unlike PR. The weak in vivo apatite-forming ability of the six HCSCs may have a negative impact on their clinical performance.

In Vivo Assessment of the Calcium Salt-Forming Ability of a New Calcium Silicate-Based Intracanal Medicament: Bio-C Temp. Dent J (Basel) 2023; 11:dj11040091.

Abstract
Calcium salt precipitation induced by intracanal medicaments contributes to the formation of apical hard tissue during apexification. This study compared the calcium salt-forming ability of a new calcium silicate-based intracanal medicament (Bio-C Temp) with that of two commercial calcium hydroxide pastes (Calcipex Plane II and Vitapex) in a rat subcutaneous implantation model. Polytetrafluoroethylene tubes containing each of the three materials were subcutaneously implanted in 4-week-old male Wistar rats. After 28 days, the composition and amount of calcium salts formed at the material–tissue interface were assessed using micro-Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and elemental mapping. The tested materials produced white precipitates that had Raman spectra with peaks corresponding to hydroxyapatite and calcite. X-ray diffraction detected hydroxyapatite formation on Calcipex Plane II and Vitapex implants, as well as calcite formation on all three materials. Elemental mapping revealed that Bio-C Temp generated significantly smaller calcium- and phosphorus-rich calcified regions within the subcutaneous connective tissue than Vitapex. These results indicate that Bio-C Temp produced less calcium salt in rat subcutaneous tissue than Vitapex, although all materials formed hydroxyapatite and calcite in rat subcutaneous tissue. Bio-C Temp could be less effective than Vitapex in promoting apical hard tissue formation during apexification.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the biocompatibility, physical and chemical properties of three pre-mixed calcium silicate-based sealers and an epoxy resin-based material were assessed. Pre-mixed sealers supposedly obtain water from the root canal moist to hydrate and set. MATERIALS AND METHODS Polyethylene tubes were filled with the materials Bio-C Sealer Ion+, Bio-C Sealer, EndoSequence BC Sealer and AH Plus Jet, or left empty and surgically implanted in the subcutaneous tissue of Wistar rats. The animals were euthanised and the tubes and tissue were removed for histological analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy-dispersive spectrometry (EDS). Materials' surface chemical characterisation was assessed using Raman spectroscopy and SEM/EDS. Flow, setting time (in two conditions), solubility, radiopacity and pH were also analysed. ANOVA and Bonferroni correction were performed for comparisons (P < 0.05). RESULTS Inflammatory response observed in the tissues subsided from 7 to 30 days. Tungsten migration could be detected in the surrounding tissue following AH Plus Jet implantation. All calcium silicate-based sealers exhibited zirconium oxide (radiopacifier) and tricalcium silicate peaks before and after implantation. All materials exhibited flow values above 17 mm. An approximately tenfold difference was observed between the plaster- and metal-mould setting times of the calcium silicate cements indicating its sensitivity to moist variations and solubility above 8% was also observed for these materials. CONCLUSIONS Pre-mixed materials exhibited variable setting time and solubility with a decreasing inflammatory response. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The variable moist-dependant setting time with high solubility poses a concern for the clinical use of these pre-mixed sealers.

In vitro inflammatory modulation of bioceramic endodontic sealer in macrophages stimulated by bacterial lipopolysaccharide. Int Endod J 2023; 56:213-226. [PMID: 36314853 DOI: 10.1111/iej.13858] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2022] [Revised: 10/23/2022] [Accepted: 10/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022]
Abstract
AIM To evaluate the effects of AH Plus (Dentsply), Sealer 26 (Dentsply), and Sealer Plus BC (Produtos Médicos e Odontológicos) on cytotoxicity and inflammation in macrophage cultures exposed to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). METHODOLOGY After initial setting, the sealers were conditioned with serum-free culture medium for 24 h (1 ml/cm2 ). Macrophages from the RAW 264.7 strain were exposed to sealer extracts in a 1:16 ratio in a culture medium with or without LPS. Cell morphology, viability, mitochondrial activity, oxidative stress and gene expression of interleukin 1β (IL-1β) and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) were evaluated. Data on mitochondrial activity, oxidative stress and TNF-α were analysed using a two-way analysis of variance (anova) test, followed by the Student-Newman-Keuls post-test. IL-1β data were analysed using one-way anova, followed by SNK, and the t-test was used for intragroup comparison. The significance level was set at 5%. RESULTS In the absence of LPS, only AH Plus and Sealer 26 showed a reduction in cell density, while in the presence of LPS, Sealer 26 had the lowest density compared to the other groups. In terms of mitochondrial activity, at 24 and 48 h, Sealer Plus BC had significantly higher mean values than Sealer 26 and AH Plus (p < .05). Sealer 26 exhibited the lowest levels of oxidative stress and IL-1β and TNF-α expression, regardless of the presence of LPS (p < .05). CONCLUSIONS Although all sealers interfere with the response of macrophages to LPS, contact with epoxy resin-based sealers can impair cell activity in vitro, while bioceramic sealer seems to favour the inflammatory functions of these cells.

Clin Oral Investig 2023:10.1007/s00784-023-04866-x. [PMID: 36695972 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-023-04866-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2022] [Accepted: 01/13/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the percentage of marginal gaps and voids in oval-shaped canals obturated by using two warm compaction techniques with a Bio-C sealer and AH Plus Jet. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty canines with oval canals were scanned by microcomputed tomography (micro-CT), and root canal preparation was performed with an XP-endo Shaper system and irrigated with 5.25% sodium hypochlorite. Then, the specimens were paired into four groups (n=10) according to the root canal filling technique and endodontic sealer: Bio-C sealer and continuous wave of condensation, Bio-C sealer and Tagger's hybrid, AH Plus Jet and continuous wave of condensation, and AH Plus Jet and Tagger's hybrid. After root canal filling, a new scan was performed. The percentage of marginal gaps and voids was calculated with the ImageJ software, and the data were analyzed statistically using two-way ANOVA and Tukey tests, with a significance level of 5%. RESULTS The percentage of marginal gaps was significantly lower in the Bio-C sealer than in AH Plus Jet (p=0.021) regardless of the technique. However, no difference was found in the percentage of voids between root canal filling techniques and the endodontic sealer (p>0.05). CONCLUSION Both sealers and techniques demonstrated good quality of root canal filling. However, the use of the Bio-C sealer enhanced the filling ability by reducing marginal gaps, regardless of the root canal filling technique. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This study highlights the better performance of the Bio-C sealer in the quality of the root canal filling, reducing marginal gaps when compared to AH Plus Jet independent of the technique.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to evaluate the pH and calcium ions (Ca2+) release from two tricalcium silicate-based sealers (Sealer Plus BC and Bio-C Pulpecto) through roots of primary teeth. Methods Forty root canals of primary incisors were prepared and distributed into four groups according to the filling material: GPlusBC (Sealer Plus BC); GBioC (Bio-C Pulpecto); GUltra (Ultracal); and GC (no filled). pH measurement was performed with a digital pH meter, and the Ca2+ release was measured in an atomic absorption spectrophotometer at baseline, 24 h and 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks later. The data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc tests. Results The results did not reveal significant differences between the groups in terms of pH in 24 h, 1-, and 2-weeks' periods. After 4 weeks, there was a significant difference, with the highest mean pH values in GUltra, followed, respectively, by GPlusBC and GBioC. Regarding the Ca2+ release, the GUltra showed greatest mean values at all evaluated times, and the other groups showed no difference between them. Conclusion Both sealers were able to promote the elevation of the pH and Ca2+ release through roots of primary teeth, which brings favorable properties for their use as a filling material.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the biocompatibility and immunoinflammatory response of the Sealepox and Sealepox-RP, based on interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and CD5 immunolabelling. The ProRoot MTA (PRMTA) was used for comparison. Polyethylene tubes (1.0-mm internal, 1.6-mm external diameter, and 10.0-mm length; ISO 10993) with or without (control) materials were randomly implanted in the dorsum of 35 rats (4 per rat). After 7, 15, 30, 60, and 90 days (n = 7), the tubes were removed for histological and immunohistochemical analysis. The Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn's test for non-parametric data and, ANOVA and Tukey test for parametric data were used (P < 0.05). Hematoxylin and eosin staining revealed that the concentration of inflammatory cells decreased over time with no differences between groups in all periods (P > 0.05). Regarding IL-6 immunostaining, there was no difference at 7 days (P > 0.05); all groups decreased over time, being faster for the PRMTA group and also, with no differences between groups in the last period (P > 0.05). For TNF-α, at 7 days there was no difference between groups (P > 0.05); there was an increase at 15 days for PRMTA and, at 30 and 60 days, for PRMTA and Sealepox compared to the control (P < 0.05). At 90 days, Sealepox RP showed the lowest immunostaining being similar to the control (P > 0.05). Regarding CD5 cells, at 7 days, there was high immunostaining for PRMTA compared to the control (P < 0.05); and significant reduction over time with difference for all groups at 30 and 60 days. (P < 0.05); Sealepox was similar to the control in all periods (P > 0.05). Sealepox RP showed the highest immunostaining at 15 days, being different from the control and PRMTA (P < 0.05); in the other periods it was similar to the control (P > 0.05). It can be concluded that Sealepox and Sealepox-RP were biocompatible and demonstrated similar immunoinflammatory response regarding IL-6, TNF-α, and CD5 compared to PRMTA.

Bioactivity Potential of Bioceramic-Based Root Canal Sealers: A Scoping Review. LIFE (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 12:life12111853. [PMID: 36430988 PMCID: PMC9697500 DOI: 10.3390/life12111853] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2022] [Revised: 10/19/2022] [Accepted: 10/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bioceramic-based root canal sealers are novel materials with a bioactivity potential that stands out compared with conventional root canal sealers. However, the term bioactivity may be overused and is often misunderstood. Hence, the objective of this study was to synthesize and map key concepts related to the bioactivity analysis of bioceramic-based root canal sealers. METHODS The present scoping review is reported in accordance with the PRISMA-ScR Statement and is registered in the Open Science Framework. Two blinded reviewers carried out a comprehensive search in six databases up to January 10th, 2022: MEDLINE, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Lilacs/BBO. Eligibility was considered for in vitro and in vivo studies that evaluated the bioactivity potential of bioceramic-based root canal sealers. RESULTS A total of 53 studies were included in the qualitative synthesis. In vitro bioactivity was evaluated through the mineralization potential, formation of carbonated apatite on the surface, and the gene expression related to proteins involved in the mineralization process. Meanwhile, for in vivo studies, staining techniques associated with immunohistochemical tests were mainly used to detect mineralization on the material-host tissue interface. CONCLUSIONS According to the methodology used, the most prevalent methods to assess bioactivity in acellular form were the immersion of the material in Hank's balanced salt solution, followed by surface observation with scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray. In cell cultures, the chosen method was usually Alizarin Red staining, followed by the evaluation of alkaline phosphatase enzymatic activity and the use of molecular biology tests.

Braz Dent J 2022; 33:20-27. [PMID: 36477961 PMCID: PMC9733370 DOI: 10.1590/0103-6440202205100] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2022] [Accepted: 10/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the influence of ultrasonic activation (UA) on the physicochemical properties of hydraulic calcium silicate-based sealers. Nine experimental conditions were created based on the hydraulic calcium silicate-based sealers (Bio-C Sealer, Sealer Plus BC and Bio Root RCS) and the ultrasonic activation (no activation [NA], 10 seconds, and 20 seconds). Then the experimental groups were BC-NA, BC-10, BC-20, SPBC-NA, SPBC-10, SPBC-20, BR-NA, BR-10, and BR-20. Activation was performed with an ultrasonic insert 20/.01. The mold for the physicochemical analysis was filled and evaluated according to the ANSI/ADA specification nº. 57: initial and final setting time, flow, radiopacity and solubility. Tests were also performed to evaluate pH and calcium ion release with experimental periods of 1, 24, 72, and 168 hours with a pH meter and colorimetric spectrophotometer. Data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance and post-hoc Tukey tests. The significance level was set at 5%. The time of UA progressively delayed the initial setting time for all hydraulic calcium silicate-based sealers (p < 0.05). Twenty seconds of UA increased the mean flow values of Sealer Plus BC and Bio-C Sealer compared to NA (p < 0.05). UA did not influence the radiopacity and solubility of the tested sealers (p > 0.05). UA for 20 seconds enhanced the pH levels and the calcium ion release of Sealer Plus BC and Bio-C Sealer at 168h (p < 0.05). UA for twenty seconds interferes with some physicochemical properties of hydraulic calcium silicate-based sealers.

Abstract
Background The filling of the root canal system (RCS) is an important step in endodontic treatment and aims to obtain a three-dimensional sealing of the root canal spaces to prevent bacterial contamination. For this, the selection of an appropriate sealer must be performed synchronously with the choice of the root canal filling technique. This study aims, through an integrative review, to evaluate the quality of root canal filling by comparing thermoplastic and single-cone (SC) techniques.
Material and Methods The Medline/PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Virtual Health Library (VHL) databases were used to find articles published until November 2021. The eligibility criteria comprised articles that evaluating the quality of root canal filling comparing thermoplastic techniques with the SC technique using tricalcium silicate-based sealer. Studies that evaluated primary teeth, endodontic retreatment or perforations, different outcomes, and studies that considered artificial teeth or different sealer and material for obturation of different techniques were excluded. For articles that were not available for access, an additional contact with authors were considered. A total of 1699 articles were found. After duplicate removal, the title and abstract of 828 articles were screened. Sixteen articles were considered for full-text analysis, but only ten articles met the eligibility criteria. Data extracted from the studies were discussed and tabulated to allow the comparison of desired factors.
Results Concerning the formation of gaps/voids, the thermoplastic techniques showed better results than the SC technique in 3 articles. On the other hand, 2 articles reported no statistical difference between the tested techniques. In addition, about the penetration of tricalcium silicate-based sealer in the dentinal tubules, of the 5 articles selected, in 4 there was no significant difference between the tested techniques and only one study showed better penetration of the sealer when using thermoplastic techniques.
Conclusions The thermoplastic technique was better in most selected studies regarding gaps and voids, but regarding the penetration of the sealer into the tubules, both techniques were effective. Key words:Root canal filling, thermoplastic techniques, tricalcium silicate.

Abstract
Aim: Modern endodontics has advanced radically in the recent years, and recently, it has been focused on the concept of mini-invasive treatments. This study aimed to evaluate the sections of the root apices at 1 mm from the radiographic apex using a high-resolution CBCT. Materials and Methods: The current study was performed in three different dental centers. One hundred maxillary permanent premolars (50 first and 50 s premolars) were analyzed using measurement software of the CBCT radiographic pictures. The mesio-distal (M-D) and bucco–palatal (B-P) sections were measured at 1 mm from the radiographic apex of each root. The section of 0.3 mm or less, 1 mm from the anatomical apex of the upper premolars, was decided as the limit value. All values were statistically analyzed. Results: The mean value in the 304 sections analyzed was 1.03 (±0.37). Only 19 sections (6.3%) had measurements less than or equal to 0.3 mm. All these 19 sections were from first premolars (p = 0.002). Conclusions: Based on the data obtained, the authors recommend performing conservative shaping when endodontically treating first maxillary premolars, especially when a pre-operative CBCT to evaluate the actual apical dimensions cannot be acquired.

Abstract
Solubility, pH, ion release, cytotoxicity, and osteoclastogenesis inhibition in bone marrow-derived monocyte macrophages (BMMs) were evaluated in EndoSequence BC Sealer (END), Bio-C Sealer (BC), and Sealer Plus BC (SPBC). pH was determined after immersion of the sealers in deionized water (DW) and Minimum Essential Medium Alpha (α-MEM). Solubility was obtained by mass loss. Ion release was measured by using X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF). Cytotoxicity was evaluated by MTT assay. Inhibition of osteoclastogenesis was evaluated by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP). Data were analyzed using the t-test, ANOVA and Tukey/Dunnett's post-hoc tests (α = 0.05). END had the highest pH in DW (p < 0.05), and BC, in α-MEM (p < 0.05). Solubility in DW was the lowest for SPBC (p < 0.005). The highest calcium release was observed for BC in DW at 12 h (p < 0.05), and in α-MEM at 12 and 24 h (p < 0.05). The lowest toxicity was detected for END (p < 0.05). BC had the highest inhibitory effect on osteoclasts (p < 0.05). Overall, the highest solubility and pH values were found in DW. However, the calcium silicate-based sealer showed higher solubility than the ISO standards. Calcium release was the highest for BC. END showed the highest cell viability, and BC, the highest osteoclast inhibition.

Abstract
Background. This experimental study sought to assess the biocompatibility of Resil, an experimental epoxy resin-based sealer, in comparison with AH26 and AH-Plus sealers in rats. Methods. Twelve male Wistar rats weighing 400 to 500 grams were evaluated in this experimental study. Four polyethylene tubes containing Resil, AH-Plus, AH26 sealers, and an empty tube were implanted subcutaneously in rats. The degree of inflammation, type of inflammatory cells present, foreign body reaction, quality of connective tissue, and presence of fibrotic capsule were evaluated histopathologically at 7 and 30 days after implanting the tubes to assess the biocompatibility of sealers. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test. Results. At 7 days, the degree of inflammation in Resil group was almost similar to AH26 group, and 66.7% of rats showed moderate inflammation. AH-Plus group showed less inflammation than Resil and AH26 (50% of rats showed low degree of inflammation), At 30 days, the inflammatory status of all groups was the same, and 83.3% of rats showed very low degree of inflammation. The inflammatory response during the experiment decreased from day 7 to day 30 in all groups. The neutrophil count (P=0.00), fibrotic capsule (P=0.01) and the amount of granulation tissue (P=0.05) significantly decreased from day 7 to day 30 in Resil group. Conclusion. Resil sealer showed appropriate biocompatibility at 7 and 30 days after subcutaneous implantation in rats, comparable to AH26 and AH-Plus. Clinical studies are required to confirm these results.

Abstract
Biocompatibility, dimensional stability, radiopacity, flow, and low solubility are the characteristics of an ideal endodontic sealer. This study evaluated and compared in vivo and in vitro biological and physicochemical properties of calcium silicate-based sealers: Sealer Plus BC (BC), MTA Fillapex (MF); and resin-based sealers: AH Plus (AHP) and Sealer Plus (SP). Apical papilla cells were exposed to sealer extracts and subjected to MTT, SRB, scratch, alkaline phosphatase enzyme activity (ALP) and Alizarin red staining (ALZ) assays. Sealers were histologically evaluated in connective tissue of Wistar rats in different periods. Radiopacity, film thickness, flow, setting time, pH and element analyses were investigated. BC had better results compared to AHP and MF at hour 72 for MTT assay (p < .05), and the highest cell viability under SRB (p < .05). All sealers presented ALP activity. BC presented the highest mineralized deposition under ALZ (p < .05). BC and MF promoted wound healing. All sealers induced an initial inflammation reaction that decreased over time. Eosinophils were observed at day 7 in MF (p < .05). Despite MF did not present final setting time, the sealers properties were in accordance to ISO 6876/2012 and ASTM C266-08. All sealers presented cell viability and biocompatibility. BC presented higher pH values and bioactivity. The materials tested showed physico-chemical properties in accordance with standards, except for MF setting time.

[PMID: 34856212 DOI: 10.1016/j.joen.2021.11.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2021] [Revised: 11/19/2021] [Accepted: 11/20/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION This randomized controlled clinical trial compared the clinical efficacy and outcome of a sealer-based obturation technique (SBO) with calcium silicate sealers and a continuous wave of condensation technique (CWC) with a resin-based sealer. METHODS Root canals were prepared using rotary instruments and 2.5% sodium hypochlorite. At the next visit, patients were enrolled and randomly assigned into 2 groups on the basis of the obturation protocol: CWC with AH Plus sealer and SBO with Endoseal TCS. Patients were assessed for the level of postoperative pain using a numeric rating scale. The quality of root canal obturation was evaluated in terms of the sealer extrusion, root-filling voids, and level of root filling. The participants were recalled after at least 6 months. Healing of the teeth was determined as a decrease in Periapical Index score and resolution of symptoms. The results were statistically compared by using the χ2 test or Fisher exact test, followed by multivariate analysis with logistic regression. RESULTS A total of 74 teeth were included in the analysis (79% recalls), and the mean follow-up period was 17 months (6-29 months). Two groups expressed identical distribution of postoperative pain (P = .973) and similar quality of root canal obturation. The total success rates were 93.2% (CWC 92.3%, SBO 94.3%) by loose criteria and 60.8% (CWC 51.3%, SBO 71.4%) by strict criteria, with no significant differences between the 2 groups. The success rate by loose criteria in teeth with sealer extrusion was significantly lower than those in teeth without sealer extrusion (P = .049). CONCLUSIONS SBO using an Endoseal TCS could be a possible alternative to CWC using AH Plus. Sealer extrusion and postoperative pain were found to negatively impact prognosis of the endodontic treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The study aims as a pilot study to evaluate the effect of different treatment regimen and different types of endodontic sealers on pain and periapical radiographic changes was studied.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty patients in need of an endodontic root canal treatment on anterior teeth were selected and divided into two groups (20 patients each), according to the endodontic treatment protocol (single or multiple visits). Then, each group was subdivided into two subgroups according to sealer used 10 each (AH Plus Jet resin sealer, Total Fill Bioceramic Sealer). To record pain intensity of the patients at different intervals: 1, 2, 3, 7 days, a visual analog scale was used. Furthermore, patients were recalled after 1, 3, 6, 9 months to evaluate periapical radiographic changes.
RESULTS: Showed that as regard pain assessment both tested endodontic sealers, as well as single or multiple visits have no statistically significant difference between pain values of patients during all the observation period from immediately post-operative, after 4, 12, 24, 48, 72 h as well as after 7 days (p > 0.05). As regard lamina dura thickness, results showed that with both tested endodontic sealers as well as single or multiple visits, there was no statistically significant difference between lamina dura thickness of patients after 1 month, 3, 6 as well as after 9 months.
CONCLUSIONS: Neither number of visits of endodontic treatment nor type of sealer used for obturation affects post-operative pain and thickness of lamina dura.

Abstract
This study investigated the effect of three commercial calcium silicate-based materials (CSBM) on cytotoxicity and pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokines production in cultured human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs). Culture of hPDLSCs was established and characterized. Extracts of Bio-C Sealer (Angelus, Londrina, PR, Brazil), MTA Fillapex (Angelus, Londrina, PR, Brazil) and PBS Cimmo HP (Cimmo Soluções em Saúde, Pouso Alegre, MG, Brazil) were prepared by placing cement specimens (5 x 3 mm) in culture medium. Then, the extracts were serially two-fold diluted (1, 1:2, 1:4, 1:8, 1:16) and inserted into the cell-seeded wells for 24, 48 and 72 h for MTT assays. TNF-α and IL-10 cytokines were quantified by ELISA at 24h-cell supernatants. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey's test (α = 0.05). All CSBM exhibited some cytotoxicity that varied according to extract concentration and time of evaluation. MTA Fillapex presented the highest cytotoxic effects with significant reduction of metabolic activity/cell viability when compared to Bio-C Sealer and Cimmo HP®. TNF-α was significantly upregulated by the three tested cements (p < 0.05) while only MTA Fillapex significantly upregulated IL-10 in comparison to control. Taken collectively, the results showed that PBS Cimmo HP®, Bio-C Sealer and MTA Fillapex present mild and transient cytotoxicity and slightly induced TNF-α production. MTA Fillapex upregulated IL-10 release by hPDLSCs.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the filling ability of a new premixed bioceramic sealer in comparison with an epoxy resin-based sealer in curved root canals using different segmentation methods and voxel sizes in micro-CT images. Twelve curved mesial roots of mandibular molars with two separated canals were selected. All root canals were prepared by using HyFlex EDM files size 25/.08 and filled by the single cone technique and Bio-C Sealer or AH Plus (n = 12). The samples were scanned by micro-CT at 5 μm. The images were analyzed at 5, 10, and 20 μm for the volumetric analysis of voids in filling. Visual image segmentation was performed by two examiners, and the automatic segmentation was accomplished for comparison. Radiopacity of the sealers was evaluated by radiographic analysis. Data were submitted to the two-way ANOVA and non-paired t tests at a significance level of 5%. AH Plus had the highest radiopacity (p < .05). Root canals filled with AH Plus or Bio-C had similar low percentage of voids (p > .05). There was no difference interobserver, which had similar results to those obtained with automatic segmentation for all voxel sizes evaluated (p > .05). Bio-C Sealer had appropriate filling ability. Visual and automatic segmentation can be applied to micro-CT images with voxel sizes from 5 to 20 μm to evaluate the filling of sealers with adequate radiopacity. Automatic segmentation should be used as a faster method.

Abstract
Calcium silicate-based sealers were recently introduced as a new class of endodontic sealers, with potential further benefits due to their bioactivity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the biocompatibility of two new hydraulic calcium silicate-based sealers, TotalFill BC Sealer (FKG, La Chaux-des-Fonds, Switzerland) and TotalFill BC Sealer HiFlow (FKG, La Chaux-des-Fonds, Switzerland) through subcutaneous implantation in connective tissue of rats. Subcutaneous implantation was performed in 16 young Wistar rats. Four polyethylene tubes were implanted in each animal, one empty to serve as a control, and three filled with tested sealers: AH Plus as reference (Dentsply DeTrey, Konstanz, Germany), TotalFill BC Sealer (BC) and TotalFill BC Sealer HiFlow (HiFlow). Eight rats were euthanized at 8 days and the remaining eight at 30 days. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to score the inflammatory reaction, macrophage infiltrate and to measure the thickness of the fibrous capsule. von Kossa staining was performed to evaluate the mineralization level. Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Dunn's post hoc test was used to analyze non-parametric data. To analyze the influence of the implantation time within each material, a Mann-Whitney U test was performed. At eight days post-implantation, AH Plus induced a more intense inflammatory reaction when compared both with the control (p ≤ 0.001) and BC (p ≤ 0.01). HiFlow presented a higher score of macrophage infiltrate than control (p ≤ 0.01) and BC (p ≤ 0.05). The fibrous capsule thickness in this period was significantly higher for the BC group when compared to control (p ≤ 0.01) and AH Plus (p ≤ 0.05). The mineralization potential was higher for the HiFlow group when compared with the control (p ≤ 0.001) and AH Plus (p ≤ 0.001). At 30 days post-implantation, the score for the inflammatory reaction remained higher for the AH Plus group when compared both to control (p ≤ 0.01) and BC (p ≤ 0.001). The macrophage infiltrate of the HiFlow was significantly higher than control (p ≤ 0.001) and AH Plus groups (p ≤ 0.01), additionally, the fibrous capsule of the BC (p ≤ 0.001) and HiFlow (p ≤ 0.01) groups were both thicker than control. Mineralization potential was observed only on BC (p ≤ 0.05) and HiFlow groups (p ≤ 0.001), when compared to control). BC exhibited the best biocompatibility performance of all tested sealers and HiFlow provided the greatest induction of mineralized tissues. Both TotalFill BC Sealer and TotalFill BC Sealer HiFlow are biocompatible and show potential bioactivity when implanted in the subcutaneous tissue. Bioactivity was not found in AH Plus.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the filling ability of a new premixed ready-to-use calcium silicate-based sealer, in comparison with an epoxy resin-based sealer by the single-cone technique in flattened root canals. Thirty-two flattened root canals of maxillary second premolars with buccal-lingual diameter 4 or more times larger than the mesio-distal diameter at 9 mm from the radiographic apex were selected. Root canals were prepared using Hyflex EDM 25/0.08 and additional preparation with ultrasonic tip Flatsonic and ProDesign Logic 25/0.03. After preparation, the root canals were filled with two root canal sealers (n = 16): Bio-C Sealer or AH Plus using the single-cone technique. Scanning was performed before and after root canal obturation using a Skycan 1176 micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) with an isotropic voxel size of 8.74 μm. The percentage of voids was analyzed in the cervical/middle thirds and in the apical third. Data were submitted to the Mann-Whitney test at a significance level of 5%. There was no statistical difference between Bio-C Sealer and AH Plus (p > .05). The percentage of voids in the cervical/middle thirds was 8.94% (1.33-39.95) for Bio-C Sealer and 9.30% (1.19-18.00) for AH Plus (p > .05). In the apical third, this percentage was 11.84% (4.85-27.00) for Bio-C Sealer and 9.21% (1.34-28.78) for AH Plus (p > .05). By using the single-cone technique, neither Bio-C Sealer nor AH Plus provided a voids-free root canal filling. Both sealers had similar filling ability in flattened root canals.
