Summary: This study compared the effects of bioceramic sealer and resin-based sealer on postoperative pain, showing similar efficacy in reducing postoperative pain. Additionally, the use of bioceramic sealer Endoseal MTA required less time for root canal obturation.

Summary: The study compared the effects of two calcium silicate-based and one epoxy resin-based root canal sealers on postoperative pain after single-visit root canal treatment on molar teeth. The results indicated that there were no significant differences in postoperative pain levels and analgesic intake among the three groups, suggesting similar efficacy of the tested sealers in managing postoperative pain.

Summary: The aim of this study was to compare the physicochemical properties and biocompatibility between various calcium silicate-based bioceramic sealers (CSBSs) and the epoxy resin-based sealer AH Plus (AHP). The physical properties of CSBSs, including flow, setting time, radiopacity, dimensional stability, and pH, were evaluated according to the ISO 6876 standards. The biocompatibility of CSBSs was found to be higher than that of AHP, as assessed through cytotoxicity and cell attachment assays.

Summary: This study aimed to synthesize and map key concepts related to the bioactivity analysis of bioceramic-based root canal sealers through in vitro and in vivo studies. The results showed that common methods in vitro included mineralization potential, formation of carbonated apatite on the surface, and gene expression, while in vivo studies mainly utilized staining techniques and immunohistochemical tests to detect mineralization.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy of reciprocating instruments in removing bioceramic and epoxy resin-based sealers using micro-CT analysis. The results showed that the combination of bioceramic sealer and gutta-percha was more effectively removed, and reciprocating instruments were more effective in removing bioceramic sealers compared to epoxy resin-based sealers.

Summary: Calcium silicate-based materials have gained popularity as root canal sealers due to their biocompatibility, antimicrobial properties, and certain bioactivity, but their higher solubility may impact their long-term sealing ability. Unlike conventional sealers, these sealers are hydraulic and require humidity for setting. Limited research has been conducted on the clinical outcomes of calcium silicate-based sealers, with current usage mainly based on clinical practices rather than recommendations or evidence.

Summary: This study evaluated the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of unset and set epoxy resin-based sealers. The results showed that unset sealers were generally more cytotoxic and genotoxic than set materials. The cytotoxicity did not always match the genotoxicity results, indicating the need for various test tools to assess toxicity.

Summary: This study compared the intensity of post-obturation pain after unintentional apical extrusion of calcium silicate-based root canal sealers with a resin-based sealer. The results showed similar postoperative pain results between the root canal sealers evaluated, but AH Plus and Bio-C Sealer demonstrated significant pain reduction at 12 hours, whereas BC Sealer did not show differences in pain intensity even after 1 week.

Summary: Following root canal filling, the use of bioceramic sealers is associated with significantly lower postoperative pain compared to traditional sealers, with potential reductions in analgesic intake and flare-up incidence.

Summary: This study investigated the physicochemical properties of a novel bioceramic silicone-based sealer, Bioseal, and compared it with four other sealers. Bioseal demonstrated higher film thickness and fast exothermic reactions, showing unique characteristics among the tested sealers.

Summary: This study compared the effectiveness of ultrasonic vibration and thermo-hydrodynamic obturation (VibraTHO) using two different root canal sealers with the single-cone technique and a calcium silicate-based root canal sealer in complex root canal anatomies. The results suggest that the VibraTHO technique using GuttaFlow 2 may be more suitable for anatomically complex root canal systems, while the VibraTHO technique using Endoseal TCS has limited impact on improving root filling quality.

Summary: This study compared the retrievability of three different CSSs using different solutions. The results showed that BC, EBC, and NEO sealers had consistent retrievability in straight canals, but the retrievability decreased when solutions were used.

Summary: The study found no significant difference in postobturation pain experience between teeth filled with AH Plus or TotalFill BC sealers 1, 3, and 7 days after obturation. Factors such as the severity of preoperative pain, pain provocation, use of sonic activation during treatment, and pulpless tooth status could influence postobturation pain.

Summary: This study evaluated the quality of root canal obturation in curved root canals filled with different techniques. The results showed variations in the performance of different filling materials at different levels in the canal, and the use of sonic activation of sealers did not reduce the presence of voids within obturation.
