Abstract
This study aimed to compare the physicochemical properties of EndoSequence Root Repair Material (ERRM) Fast and CeraPutty with ProRoot MTA and Biodentine, focusing on setting time, radiopacity, microhardness, and pH. Setting time was measured using a Gilmore-type indenter applied every 5 min until no indentation was observed (n = 15 per group). Radiopacity was assessed via aluminium step wedge, microhardness using Vickers hardness, and pH changes with a digital pH meter. Nonparametric statistical analyses were conducted with a significance level of 95%. Biodentine exhibited the shortest setting time and highest microhardness, while ERRM Fast showed the highest radiopacity. High alkaline pH values were measured for all materials. Within the limitations of this study, the new pre-mixed calcium silicate materials exhibited physicochemical properties comparable to traditionally mixed materials, indicating their potential suitability for endodontic treatments. However, careful selection based on clinical requirements, including handling, setting time, and mechanical properties, is essential.
期刊介绍:
The Australian Endodontic Journal provides a forum for communication in the different fields that encompass endodontics for all specialists and dentists with an interest in the morphology, physiology, and pathology of the human tooth, in particular the dental pulp, root and peri-radicular tissues.
The Journal features regular clinical updates, research reports and case reports from authors worldwide, and also publishes meeting abstracts, society news and historical endodontic glimpses.
The Australian Endodontic Journal is a publication for dentists in general and specialist practice devoted solely to endodontics. It aims to promote communication in the different fields that encompass endodontics for those dentists who have a special interest in endodontics.
