Article Abstract
Background/purpose: Residual calcium hydroxide (CH) in the root canal dentine walls may influence the adhesion of tricalcium silicate-based materials. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of various CH removal protocols on the dislodgement resistance of biodentine from simulated immature root canals in an experimental apexification model.
Materials And Methods: CH was applied to 120 simulated immature root canals. The samples were divided into 12 experimental groups (n = 10) according to the applied irrigation protocols used for the removal of CH: Group 1: Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), Conventional needle irrigation (CNI); Group 2: NaOCl, EndoActivator; Group 3: NaOCl, XP-endo Finisher; Group 4: NaOCl- Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), CNI; Group 5: NaOCl-EDTA, EndoActivator; Group 6: NaOCl-EDTA, XP-Endo Finisher; Group 7: NaOCl+etidronic acid (HEBP), CNI; Group 8: NaOCl+HEBP, EndoActivator; Group 9: NaOCl+HEBP, XP-endo Finisher; Group 10: NaOCl- Peracetic acid (PAA), CNI; Group 11: NaOCl-PAA, EndoActivator; Group 12: NaOCl-PAA, XP-endo Finisher; Control Group: CH was not applied. Biodentine was placed at the apical thirds of 130 immature root canals. Vertical loading was applied to biodentine fillings inside the dentin discs. Maximum force to dislodge the material was statistically analyzed with ANOVA.
Results: The control, NaOCl+HEBP (CNI, EndoActivator, XP-endo Finisher) and NaOCl-PAA (EndoActivator, XP-endo Finisher) groups exhibited the lowest dislodgement resistance values (p < 0.001). When used CNI, irrigation with NaOCl+HEBP resulted in lower resistance to dislodgement of biodentine compared to NaOCl, and NaOCl-EDTA (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: Adhesion of apical barrier materials to root canal dentine can be influenced by the irrigation protocols used for CH removal.

This study evaluated the retreatability of two bioceramic-based sealers in oval-shaped canals and the effectiveness of supplementary cleaning techniques for removing sealer remnants. Mandibular premolars were obturated with either NeoSEALER Flo or AH Plus Bioceramic. After obturation, specimens were retreated followed by supplementary cleaning with XP-Endo Finisher R, EasyClean, or passive ultrasonic irrigation.

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of calcium hypochlorite in smear layer removal during root canal treatment and examine the impact of heat and agitation techniques on its performance. In this study, 160 single-rooted, straight mandibular premolars were prepared using ProTaper Next rotary files up to X4. Following preparation, samples were randomly branched into 10 groups of 16 teeth each.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of access cavity design and activation procedures on the penetration depth and bond strength of calcium silicate-based sealers to dentin, while also distinguishing the influence of the root level as an anatomical reference point.
Methods: Sixty-six mandibular molars were randomly divided into two groups based on the access cavity design (traditional (TEC) or conservative (CEC)). The distal root canals were prepared using Reciproc files (40.

Objectives: Endodontic retreatment aims to address treatment failure through the removal of root canal filling materials. This in vitro study evaluated the presence of filling material remnants in the mesial root canals, specifically focusing on the isthmuses, of mandibular molars after retreatment.
Methods: One hundred extracted mandibular molar mesial roots with isthmuses were prepared with an R25 file, obturated with one of five calcium silicate-based sealers (BioRoot RCS [Septodont], MTApex [Ultradent Products Inc.
