“…Newer CSCs such as Biodentine and Bioceramic (BC) sealer, and MTA high plasticity (HP) can alter the radiopacifier agent into Ca tungstate or zirconium oxide. These constituents caused no alteration in color [26]. The second substitute is the addition of 5% zinc oxide (ZnO) to MTA as this ZnO converts bismuth oxide into bismite, a product that helps prevent the change of color [10].…”

Calcium silicate-based cements (CSCs) or mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) lookalike materials are blocks of cement or root canal sealers produced from calcium (Ca) and silicate. They have superior sealing ability, bioactivity, and marginal adaptability, making them appropriate for various dental treatment applications. Mineral trioxide aggregate is widely used in numerous endodontic repair techniques. The capacity of this cement to promote tissue regeneration and stimulate mineralization accounts for its widespread usage in pulp capping, apexification, apical surgeries, and revascularization. Several studies have been conducted to investigate changes in the components of MTA-based types of cement directed to improve their presentation clinically. To improve flowability, new Ca silicate-based formulations have been introduced commercially. In these new formulations, essential features such as adequate radiopacity and setting time, color stability, alkaline pH, and calcium ion release and biocompatibility must be considered. Owing to an increased range of indications of CSCs, including some for restorative dentistry, and with the emergence of novel silicate calcium-based materials with considerable changes in their compositions, it is necessary to examine the available scientific literature that evaluates their usage in these applications. Therefore, this review paper aims to assess the existing knowledge of CSCs, emphasizing their potential uses in restorative and endodontic dentistry. This report strives to update doctors' understanding of CSCs, allowing for a better therapeutic approach.

“…A similar alcoholic surface-active agent is propylene glycol. Propylene glycol's ability to reduce surface tension has found application as a vehicle for better delivery of intracanal medicaments [10], and it has demonstrated better tissue dissolution and antimicrobial properties when combined with irrigants [11]. Previous studies have shown better wettability and penetration of 5% NaOCl with cetrimide and/or propylene glycol.…”

Objective: Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is regarded as the most frequently used root canal irrigant. Its high surface tension prevents its penetration into complex canal anatomies. The present study assesses the contact angle and penetration depth of 2.5% NaOCl with 0.2% cetrimide and propylene glycol. Material and methods: Sixty recently extracted mandibular premolars with a single root were obtained. Thirty were sectioned longitudinally, and the remaining 30 teeth were sectioned transversely. Acrylic blocks were used to mount the parts, and 5 µL of each of the following solutions was placed on the dentin surface: Group 1: 2.5% NaOCl (control), Group 2: 0.2% cetrimide + 2.5% NaOCl, and Group 3: propylene glycol + 2.5% NaOCl. Following this, contact angle analysis was made using a contact angle goniometer. We prepared and instrumented access cavities in 30 teeth to work up to the size of the ProTaper Gold F2 (Dentsply Tulsa Dental Specialties, Tulsa, OK). Samples were allocated to the three groups, and irrigation was done accordingly. They were sectioned at the coronal, middle, and apical thirds and then subjected to confocal laser scanning microscopy. The data were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA and a Tukey multiple comparison test. Results: Group 2 had the least contact angle (35.20°) and the highest depth of penetration (DOP; 752.409 µm) when compared to Groups 1 and 3. The DOP decreased significantly from the coronal, middle, and apical thirds. No discernible variation in the contact angle was found between the radicular and coronal portions. Conclusion: 0.2% cetrimide improved the efficiency of 2.5% NaOCl as an irrigant by lowering its contact angle and increasing its DOP.

“…Successful endodontic treatment is achieved by eliminating complete microbes from the root canal along with achieving a fluid tight seal by using materials of sufficient compatibility [1,2,3]. Although with the advent of latest techniques for endodontic treatment, with newer efficacious materials and instruments, the resolution of some cases [ 4] of periapical diseases is not achieved which necessitates surgical intervention [5].…”

Background: Inadequate seal at the apex is the substantial cause for surgical endodontic dissatisfaction. The retrograde filling material which is used should prevent the egress of potential contaminants into periradicular tissue. Objectives: To evaluate the ability of MTA Angelus, Zirconomer and Bioactive bone cement to seal the root end as retrograde filling material; and to compare root end sealing ability of these three different retrograde filling materials with apices resected at 900 angles using dye penetration method under fluorescent microscope. Methodology: Thirty six extracted upper anterior teeth are to be cut horizontally at the CEJ. After following the standard protocols of, “cleaning, shaping and obturation” with gutta percha and “AH Plus sealer”, the samples will be resected 3mm at the apical end at 90 degree angle along the long axis of the tooth with the help of diamond disc. A root end cavity of depth 3mm will be made with Diamond coated ultrasonic surgical tip S12 90 ND. The teeth will be randomly categorized in 3 groups: Group 1: MTA angelus; Group 2: Zirconomer; Group 3: Bioactive Bone Cement. Following which the roots to be coated with nail varnish except the tip. Each material will be compressed in the root end cavity with the help of small pluggers. All the samples which are retrofilled will be kept in acrydine orange for a duration of 24 hours, following which cleaning & bucco-lingual sectioning(vertical) will be done. Fluorescent microscope will be used for observation of sectioned root samples. Expected Results: Bioactive bone cement is expected to have better sealing ability of the retrograde cavity preparation with minimal or no microleakage followed by MTA Angelus and then Zirconomer. Conclusion: If this study proves correct, this would be helpful for the clinicians to choose better and the most efficient retrograde filling material with best sealing ability and minimal microleakage in a retrograde preparation which will aid in success of the root canal treatment further resolving the infection.
