The results showed that the intensity of postoperative pain for the two obturation techniques was equivalent at evaluated time points.

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: 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: 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 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: 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 aimed to evaluate the effect of different irrigation protocols and intracanal laser irradiation on the dislocation resistance of a bioceramic root canal sealer. The results showed that diode laser irradiation improved the dislocation resistance of the sealer, while photodynamic therapy did not adversely affect it. The group treated with photon initiated photoacoustic streaming showed reduced dislocation resistance values only in the coronal third.

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 resin polymerization and adhesion between resin and root canal sealers in different fiber post/core resin construction systems. The results showed variations in light transmission and polymerized resin amount among different systems, and the adhesion between resin and sealer depended on the properties of the sealer.

Summary: The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare postoperative pain after endodontic treatment with bioceramic root canal sealer and AH Plus sealer. The analysis of 18 qualitative studies and 17 quantitative studies showed that bioceramic root canal sealer had lower occurrence of postoperative pain within 24 hours compared to AH Plus sealer, and the bioceramic group also had less sealer extrusion. However, more high-quality and standardized clinical trials are needed to confirm these results.

Summary: The study compared the effects of different pulp capping materials on the viability and odontogenic differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells, finding that all materials except Dycal were favorable for hDPSC viability. ProRoot MTA and TheraCal LC showed higher expression of Runx2 compared to Biodentine, indicating their potential in promoting odontogenic differentiation. Future studies should further explore the odontogenic potential of pulp capping materials.
