Abstract
This study evaluated how varying calcium silicate (30-50%) and radiopacifier (45-65%) ratios affected the physicochemical properties of experimental sealers (P1-P3) compared to Bio-C Sealer, AH Plus Bioceramic, and AH Plus Jet. Properties such as flowability, solubility, and radiopacity were assessed per ISO 6876/2012, and setting time followed ASTM C266-2008. pH and volumetric changes were measured in acrylic teeth (n = 10) filled with each sealer, with pH evaluated at 3, 24, 72, and 168 h, and volume changes assessed via micro-CT at baseline and after 7 days. P1 showed setting time similar to AH Plus Bioceramic (p > 0.05). All calcium silicate-based sealers had greater solubility than AH Plus Jet (p < 0.05), with only P3 meeting ISO standards. P1 and AH Plus Jet exhibited higher radiopacity (p < 0.05). Bio-C Sealer and AH Plus Bioceramic had more volume change than P2 (p < 0.05). All experimental sealers showed stable volume and increasing alkalinity, peaking at 72h. Bio-C Sealer showed a consistent pH rise, except between 24 and 168 h (p > 0.05). Sealer properties were strongly influenced by the composition. P1 (30% calcium silicate/65% radiopacifier) had superior flowability and radiopacity, while P3 (50% calcium silicate/45% radiopacifier) was the only one to meet solubility standards.
期刊介绍:
Materials (ISSN 1996-1944) is an open access journal of related scientific research and technology development. It publishes reviews, regular research papers (articles) and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Materials provides a forum for publishing papers which advance the in-depth understanding of the relationship between the structure, the properties or the functions of all kinds of materials. Chemical syntheses, chemical structures and mechanical, chemical, electronic, magnetic and optical properties and various applications will be considered.
