Summary:
Purpose: to assess adhesion of kerr, sealapex, AH26, Ketac endo to gutta percha (GP) and dentin.
N= extracted un-erupted 3rd molars
Materials/Methods:
•Tooth was sectioned 1 mm below deepest occlusal groove & 2 mm below the CEJ, GP 5 mm dimeter were obtained
•Top and bottom surfaces were polished, aluminum cylinders were stabilized on top. Filled with sealer. Left to set for 24 h at 100% humidity. •Tensile strength was tested using vitrodyne universal tester at cross-head speed 1 mm/min using 2 kg load.
Vitrodyne universal tester à testing machine or materials test frame, is used to test the tensile strength and compressive strength of materials. An earlier name for a tensile testing machine is a tensometer
Most highlighted Results:
- AH 26 had the highest bond to both dentine and GP (fig1)
