Aim To compare the effects of riboflavin photosensitizer (RFP) Sapindus Macrossi (SM) on extrusion bond strength (EBS), Marten's hardness (MH), microleakage, and sealer penetration of bioactive cement. Materials and Methods Inclusion/exclusion criteria selected samples.
All samples were opened, and the working length was established using pro taper for canal completion and steady irrigation with 2.25% NaOCl. Four randomly chosen groups. EDTA, RFP final irrigant, SM, and saline were the groups. Obturated samples were vertically put in 1% methylene blue dye
and cut in half lengthwise for a stereomicroscope. SEM investigated dentinal tubule SP. Mean, standard deviation, and one-way ANOVA measured microleakage, EBS, and MH. Results Final watering procedures did not affect samples. Final irrigant SM increased sealer penetration. Radicular
dentin irrigated with 2.25% NaOCl+ SM had the highest EBS in the cervical region. Group 2: 2.25% NaOCl+ RFP had the lowest MH while Group 1: SM had the highest. Conclusion Sapindus mukorossi, often known as soapberry or reetha, could replace current watering methods when used with a
bioactive sealant.
