Table 1 Chemical composition of the root canal sealers used in the study
From: Physicochemical properties of AH plus bioceramic sealer, Bio-C Sealer, and ADseal root canal sealer
Root canal sealers | Manufacturer | Chemical composition* |
|---|---|---|
AH Plus Bioceramic Sealer (premixed calcium silicate-based root canal sealers) | Dentsply, De-Trey Konstanz, Germany | Zirconium dioxide (50–75%), tricalcium silicate (5–15%), dimethyl sulfoxide (10–30%), lithium carbonate (< 0.5%), thickening agent (< 6%) |
Bio-C Sealer (premixed calcium silicate-based root canal sealers) | Angelus, Londrina, PR, Brazil | Calcium and magnesium silicate, calcium sulfate, potassium sulfate, zirconium oxide, silicon dioxide and dispersing agent |
ADseal root canal sealer (resin-based sealer) | Metabiomed, Cheongju, Korea | Poly(1,4-butanediol) bis(4-aminobenzoate) (30–40%), Bisphenol A diglycidyl ether–bisphenol A copolymer (20–30%), 2-Hydroxyethyl salicylate (15–20%), Triethanolamine (< 10), calcium oxide (< 5%). |
