Abstract
Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) cement has excellent properties, such as biocompatibility and mineral induction ability for various dental procedures. To provide these favorable properties, MTA-based sealers, such as MTA Fillapex (MF), Bio-C Sealer (BC), NeoSEALER Flo (NSF), and NeoMTA 2 (NM2), have been developed and introduced into the market. Additionally, an endodontic sealer containing bioactive glass with mineral induction ability was introduced as the Canal Sealer BG (CS-BG). In this study, we evaluated the mineral induction and sealing ability of five bioceramic-based sealers. The results indicated that NSF, NM2, BC, and CS-BG had superior mineral induction capacities compared with MF. Although NSF, NM2, BC, and CS-BG exhibited comparable sealing performances, NSF had a statistically superior sealing capability compared to MF. According to these findings, bioceramic sealers other than MF containing resin components have excellent mineral induction capacity, making them effective for root canal sealing in clinical applications.
期刊介绍:
Dental Materials Journal is a peer review journal published by the Japanese Society for Dental Materials and Devises aiming to introduce the progress of the basic and applied sciences in dental materials and biomaterials. The dental materials-related clinical science and instrumental technologies are also within the scope of this journal. The materials dealt include synthetic polymers, ceramics, metals and tissue-derived biomaterials. Forefront dental materials and biomaterials used in developing filed, such as tissue engineering, bioengineering and artificial intelligence, are positively considered for the review as well. Recent acceptance rate of the submitted manuscript in the journal is around 30%.
