    Comparison of different retreatment techniques and root canal sealers: a scanning electron microscopic study
    (Sociedade Brasileira De Pesquisa Odontologica, 2014) Simsek, Neslihan; Keles, Ali; Ahmetoglu, Fuat; Ocak, Mevlut Sinan; Yologlu, Saim
    The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of two retreatment techniques, in terms of the operating time and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results, in removing three different root canal sealers from root canals that were previously filled with gutta-percha. Sixty extracted single-rooted human premolars were divided into three groups and filled with iRoot SP, MM Seal, and AH Plus sealers, along with gutta-percha, through a lateral compaction technique. Root canal fillings of the samples were removed by ESI ultrasonic tips or R-Endo files. The time to reach the working length was recorded. Longitudinally sectioned samples were examined under SEM magnification. Each picture was evaluated in terms of the residual debris. Data were statistically analyzed with the Kruskall-Wallis test. No statistically significant differences were found in terms of operating time (p>0.05). Significant differences in the number of debris-free dentinal tubules were found among the root canal thirds, but this finding was not influenced by the experimental group (p<0.05). Resin sealer tags were observed inside the dentinal tubules in the MM Seal group. Under the conditions of this study, it may be established that there was no difference among the sealers and retreatment techniques.

    Efficacy of self-adjusting file and passive ultrasonic irrigation on removing calcium hydroxide from root canals
    (Japanese Soc Dental Materials Devices, 2013) Ahmetoglu, Fuat; Simsek, Neslihan; Keles, Ali; Ocak, Mevlut Sinan; Er, Kursat
    The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiencies of the self-adjusting file (SAF) system, passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUT), and conventional irrigation (CI) in removing calcium hydroxide (CH) from root canals. Fifty-one mandibular premolars were used. After root canals were instrumented and filled with a CH paste, 45 teeth were randomly assigned to three experimental groups according to CH removal technique: SAF system, PUI, or CI. The remaining 6 teeth served as positive and negative controls. All samples were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and scored. None of the techniques removed CH completely. However, results at coronal, middle and apical thirds showed that PUT technique was significantly more effective than SAF and CI in removing CH dressing residues from root canal walls.

    Heat conductive properties of set root canal sealers
    (Informa Healthcare, 2013) Keles, Ali; Ahmetoglu, Fuat; Simsek, Neslihan; Yalcin, Muhammet; Ocak, Mevlut Sinan
    Objective. The aim of this study was to examine the thermal conductivity of five different root canal sealers in vitro. Materials and methods. Sealapex, AH Plus, AH 26, Endomethasone and RoekoSeal root canal sealers were examined. These materials were prepared in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and applied to standard molds. Three samples of each material were prepared. The samples were kept for 5 days under 37 degrees C conditions. Measurements were taken using a heat conduction unit (P. A. Hilton Ltd. Stockbridge, Hants, UK). The thermal conductivity coefficient was calculated for each sample using the Fourier equation. Coefficients were analyzed statistically by the Kruskal-Wallis test. Results. Significant differences were found for thermal conductivity between some materials (p < 0.05). The conductivity coefficient of AH Plus was found to be higher than those of the other materials (p < 0.05). No statistically significant differences were found between AH 26 and RoekoSeal (p > 0.05) and the conductivity coefficients of these sealers were found to be lower than those of the other materials (p < 0.05). No statistically significant differences were found between Sealapex and Endomethasone (p > 0.05) and the conductivity coefficients of these sealers were found to be lower than that of AH Plus but higher than those of RoekoSeal and AH26 (p < 0.05). Conclusions. The results showed that root canal sealers functioned as thermal insulators and had different heat-conductive properties that depended on their composition.
