An In Vitro Assessment of the Sealing Ability of Resilon/Epiphany Using Fluid Filtration

The Effect of Time of Post Space Preparation on the Seal and Adaptation of Resilon-Epiphany Se & Gutta-percha-Ah Plus Sealer- An –Sem Study

“…Present study results are in accordance with the observations by Biggs et al, F Paque et al, [13,14]. The Immediate group showed less gaps than delayed group of Resilon/Epiphany SE and the probable reason for the result could be that if post space is created prior to the complete setting of sealer the result should be better adaptation because sealer would less likely be disturbed during the removal of excess resilon with rotary instruments [15].…”

The effects of total-etch, wet-bonding, and light-curing of adhesive on the apical seal of a resin-based root canal filling system

“…5 However, most of the reports focused on coronal leakage resulting from the light-curing step for coronal sealing 5,7,20 and inferior, or at most similar, results have also been reported. [21][22][23] Within the coronal portion of the canals, the polymerization shrinkage of the light-curing Resilon core material and inherent and highly unfavorable configuration factor (C-factor) of the canal were attributed to the deterioration in the adhesion of the sealer to the dentin wall and core material. 5,24 Our study focused on the apical microleakage from the apex.…”

Resilon: A Comprehensive Literature Review

“…79-81 In contrast, in one study their leakage was not different over time. 73 Another study showed greater leakage with Resilon regardless of time. 82 Some investigations have revealed greater leakage of gutta-percha/AH26 compared to Resilon/Epiphany and gutta-percha/AH-plus.…”

“…It has been suggested that there are no significant differences between sealing ability of Resilon/Epiphany and gutta-percha/AH-plus, 73-77 and between gutta-percha/AH-plus and Resilon/Hybrid Root Seal or Real Seal. 78 However, some studies have shown that their sealing ability is similar in the short term, with higher leakage with Resilon in the long term compared to gutta-percha.…”
