Abstract
Aim The aim of this study was to compare the retreatability of NeoSEALER Flo obturated with warm vertical compaction (WVC) and single-cone (SC) techniques using two different retreatment systems. Materials and Methods Thirty-two root canals were shaped and obturated with NeoSEALER Flo either in an SC obturation technique or a WVC technique. Samples were retreated using ProTaper retreatment or EdgeFile XR retreatment system. The percentage of remaining debris after retreatment was analyzed under a scanning electron microscope using ImageJ software. The time taken to reach full working length (WL) and induce patency was recorded. Statistical Analysis Statistical analysis was performed using an unpaired t-test and a one-way analysis of variance test. Results The percentage of remaining debris after retreatment was significantly higher in the SC technique than in the WVC technique, regardless of the retreatment system used. EdgeFile XR system removed more filling material than the ProTaper retreatment system, regardless of the obturation technique. The apical region showed significantly higher remaining debris than other regions in all groups. The WL and patency were achieved faster in the SC group, while in the WVC group, the EdgeFile XR system was faster. Conclusions The WVC technique showed better retrieval of the filling material; however, a longer time was taken for retreatment. EdgeFile XR system performed better in removing filling materials from inside the canals.

Abstract
Context Bioceramic sealers have improved sealing ability by forming an interfacial apatite layer that chemically bonds the sealer and radicular dentin thus decrease apical leakage. Aim This study aims to evaluate and compare the apical leakage of Cerafill RCS bioceramic sealer and gutta percha when used with three different obturating techniques. Materials and Methods Thirty-four extracted single-rooted premolars were decoronated and prepared up to size F3. Then, the specimens were randomly divided into 3 experimental groups (n = 10) cold lateral obturation technique, warm vertical obturation technique, single-cone obturation technique, positive and negative control groups (n = 2), according to the obturation technique used along with a bioceramic sealer. To evaluate apical leakage, all specimens were mounted in a glucose leakage model and assessed at 7 and 14 days using an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer. Statistical Analysis The results were subjected to ANOVA/Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA; followed by post hoc analysis using Bonferroni correction. Results Significant differences were found in the cumulative leakage of all the three experimental groups. Significantly higher leakage was found in groups obturated using single-cone obturation technique as compared to warm vertical compaction technique at both 7 and 14 days. Conclusions Warm vertical compaction showed a better sealing result than single-cone obturation techniques at all observation periods.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy of different obturation techniques on sealer penetration in teeth with internal root resorption using confocal laser microscopy. METHODS An artificial internal resorption cavity (3 mm deep and 1.2 mm in diameter) was formed in the round-shaped root canals of 45 single-rooted teeth at a distance of 7 mm from the apex, then roots were instrumented (size 40/.06). The samples were divided into three groups (n = 15) according to the obturation technique: lateral compaction (LC), warm vertical compaction (WVC) and carrier-based (CB). RESULTS In the resorption regions, the sealer penetration depth in the CB and LC groups was significantly higher than that in the WVC group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Within the limitations of this study, the penetration depth of the sealer in the resorption region was higher in the CB and LC groups as compared to that in the WVC group.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the short- and long-term solubility, alkalizing potential, and suitability for warm-vertical compaction of AH Plus Bioceramic Sealer (AHBC), and Total Fill BC Sealer (TFBC) compared to the epoxy-resin sealer AH Plus (AHP). A solubility test was performed according to ISO specification 6876 and further similar to ISO requirements over a period of 1 month in distilled water (AD) and 4 months in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). The pH of the immersion solution was determined weekly. Sealers were exposed to thermal treatment at 37, 57, 67, and 97 °C for 30 s. Furthermore, heat treatment at 97 °C was performed for 180 s to simulate inappropriate implementation of warm vertical filling techniques. Physical properties (setting time, flow, film thickness according to ISO 6876) and chemical properties (Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy) were assessed. AHBC and TFBC were associated with significantly higher solubility than AHP over 1 month in AD and 4 months in PBS (p < 0.05). AHBC and TFBC both reached high initial alkaline pH, while TFBC was associated with a longer-lasting alkaline potential than AHBC. Initial pH of AHBC and TFBC was higher in AD than in PBS. None of the sealers were compromised by thermal treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Understanding the physicochemical and biological properties of endodontic sealers is important for endodontic treatment planning. This study evaluated the properties of EndoSequence BC Sealer HiFlow (BCH; Brasseler USA, Savannah, GA), EndoSequence BC Sealer (BC, Brasseler USA), and AH Plus (AHP; Dentsply DeTrey, Konstanz, Germany). The effect of temperature on the setting time and flow of these sealers was also evaluated. METHODS The setting time, flow, radiopacity, pH, solubility, and calcium release were investigated following ISO guidelines. The morphology and chemical composition of the sealers were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive spectroscopy. The antibacterial activity of sealers was tested against 2 strains of Enterococcus faecalis. Sealer cytotoxicity and the effects on messenger RNA expression of proinflammatory and mineralization genes were also investigated. Data analysis was performed using analysis of variance, Tukey, Kruskal-Wallis, and Dunn multiple comparison tests. P ≤ .05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS The setting time and flow rate of all sealers were affected by heat (P ≤ .05). The setting times and solubility of BCH and BC were significantly higher than AHP (P ≤ .0001). The radiopacity of AHP was higher than BCH and BC (P ≤ .0001). All sealers were alkaline and had antibacterial effects. Cell viability was higher for BCH and BC than AHP (P ≤ .0001). No significant differences in messenger RNA expression of proinflammatory and mineralization genes were observed. CONCLUSIONS Overall, BCH and BC had similar physicochemical and biological properties. The observed high solubility of BCH and BC as well as the high cytotoxicity of AHP might negatively impact the clinical performance of these materials. The application of heat affected the setting time and flow of all sealers.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of atmospheric cold plasma (ACP) on dentinal tubule penetration of EndoSequence BC. Sixty premolars were divided into four groups according to the obturation technique and plasma treatment. Root canals were filled with single cone in Group 1 (SC), single cone after ACP application in Group 2 (SC-P), warm vertical compaction in Group 3 (WVC), warm vertical compaction after ACP application in Group 4 (WVC-P). Horizontal sections were imaged using confocal laser scanning microscopy. The maximum penetration and percentage of penetration values were measured. These data were statistically analysed (P < 0.01). In the coronal region, the percentage of penetration values were higher in SC-P and WVC-P than in SC and WVC. In the middle region, SC-P and SC showed a higher penetration percentage than WVC and WVC-P. In the apical region, WVC showed a higher percentage of penetration value than SC-P, WVC-P and SC did. Maximum penetration of WVC was higher than of SC and SC-P. Within the limitations of this study, ACP improved the percentage of penetration values of EndoSequence BC when used with single-cone technique.

Abstract
The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the dentinal tubule penetration of two calcium silicate-based sealers used in warm vertical compaction (WVC) obturation technique in comparison with the single cone (SC) technique by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The null hypothesis was that both obturation techniques produced similar sealer penetration depths at 1 and 5 mm from the apex. Forty-four mandibular single-rooted premolars were randomly divided into four equally experimental groups (n = 10) and two control groups (n = 2) according to the type of sealer (Bio-C Angelus, Londrína, PR, Brazil or HiFlow Brasseler, Savannah, GA, USA) with either SC or WVC. The sealers were mixed with a fluorescent dye Rhodamine B (0.1%) to enable the assessment under the CLSM. All the specimens were sectioned horizontally at 1 and 5 mm from the apex. The maximum penetration depth was calculated using the ImageJ Software (ImageJ, NIH). Data were analyzed by Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests (p < 0.05). A significant difference was shown between the four groups at 1 mm (p = 0.0116), whereas similar results were observed at 5 mm (p = 0.20). WVC allowed better diffusion for both sealers at 1 mm (p = 0.01) and 5 mm (p = 0.034). The maximum penetration of the Bio-C and HiFlow sealers was more important at 5 mm with the two obturation techniques. Within the limitations of this study, WVC enhanced the penetration of calcium silicate-based sealers into the dentinal tubules in comparison with the SC technique at both levels.

Abstract
Background This study was performed to evaluate the amount of apically extruded debris removed from a root canal filled with cold lateral condensation (CLC), and warm vertical compaction (WVC) techniques, using b or a phase gutta-percha with AH-Plus (Dentsply DeTrey, Konstanz, Germany) or Resilon (Resilon Research LLC, Madison, WI) with RealSeal SE (SybronEndo, Amersfoort, The Netherlands). Materials and Methods About 100 human incisor teeth were prepared with a #25.06 NiTi rotary system and divided into five groups according to the filling material used: Group 1: CLC (gutta-percha, AH-Plus); Group 2: WVC (b phase gutta-percha, AH-Plus); Group 3: WVC (a phase gutta-percha, AH-Plus); Group 4: CLC (Resilon, RealSeal SE); and Group 5: WVC (Resilon, RealSeal SE). Extruded debris during the retreatment procedure was collected in preweighed Eppendorf tubes. The times required for retreatment were recorded. Results The amount of debris extrusion was significantly greater with WVC than CLC in the gutta-percha and Resilon groups (P < 0.001). Using a phase gutta-percha resulted in significantly more debris extrusion than b phase gutta-percha (P < 0.001). In the WVC groups, Resilon caused significantly more debris extrusion than gutta-percha (P < 0.05). Retreatment was faster for CLC than WVC (P < 0.05). Conclusions In the retreatment procedure, the amount of apically extruded debris and retreatment duration were dependent on the type of obturation material and technique used.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The present study examined the quality of obturation in root canals filled by an experimental non-gutta-percha-based (NGP) root filling system using warm vertical or cold lateral compaction. The quality of obturation was evaluated by comparing the volumetric percentage of gaps and voids identified from similar canals obturated with gutta-percha and an epoxy resin-based sealer using the same obturation techniques. METHODS Forty single-rooted premolars with oval-shaped canals were cleaned, shaped, and obturated with 1 of the 4 material/obturation technique combinations (n = 10). Filled canals were scanned with micro-computed tomographic imaging. Reconstructed images were analyzed for the volumetric percentage of gaps and voids at 3 canal levels (0-4, 4-8, and 8-12 mm from the working length). Roots were sectioned at the 4-mm, 8-mm, and 12-mm levels. Scanning electron microscopic images of negative replicas of root sections were examined to quantify the circumferential percentage of interfacial gaps and the area percentage of intracanal voids. Data were analyzed with parametric or nonparametric statistical methods. RESULTS A statistically significant difference was found for the volumetric percentage distribution of gaps and voids for "obturation technique" but not for "material." Significantly higher percentages of gaps and voids were identified in canals obturated with the NGP system using cold lateral compaction. Examination of negative replicas ascribed this difference to a higher area percentage of interfacial gaps rather than more intracanal voids. CONCLUSIONS Using warm vertical compaction, the NGP system fulfils the objective of 3-dimensional obturation of the canal space in a manner comparable with the results achieved with gutta-percha and a root canal sealer.
