I. Objective The primary requirement of an endodontic root canal sealer is the biologic compatibility, because they remain in close contact with living periapical tissues over a long period of time. The aim of this study was the evaluation of cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of resin-based root canal sealers, AH 26 and ADSEAL. II. Material & Methods In this study, human periodontal ligament cells, human oral cancer cells (KB) and mouse osteoblasts (MC-3T3-E1) were used. Specimens of AH26, ADSEAL were eluted with culture medium for 1, 3, 5 and 7 days. Cytotoxicity was evaluated by using tetrazolium bromide reduction assay (MTT assay) for mitochondrial enzyme activity and cell viability. Genotoxicity was evaluated by using alkaline single cell gel electrophoresis assay (Comet assay). Also cell apoptosis induced by AH 26 was detected by Hoechst33258 staining. III. Results AH 26 and ADSEAL exhibited cytotoxic effects in all investigated cell groups. Genotoxicity was also noted for both sealers in mouse osteoblasts (MC-3T3-E1). But, ADSEAL presented significantly low cytotoxicity and genotoxicity compared with AH 26. Cytotoxicity and genotoxicity induced by AH 26 resulted in apopotosis. IV. Conclusion Our results clearly indicate that the recently invented ADSEAL has better biocompatibility than another resin based root canal sealer, AH 26. However ideal root canal sealer should have not only biocompatibility but also satisfactory physico-chemical properties such as sealing ability and stability. Thus continuous studies and developments should follow.

Objectives: This study evaluated the efficacy of Endosolv-R and Xylene in softening epoxy resin based sealer after 1 to 2 min exposure. Materials and Methods: Sixty Teflon molds ($6mm{\times}1.5mm$ in inner diameter and depth) were equally divided into 3 groups of 20 each. AH 26 (Dentsply/De Trey), AH Plus (Dentsply/De Trey), Adseal (Meta-Biomed) were manipulated and placed in the molds allotted to each group and allowed to set at $37^{\circ}C$ in 100% humidity for 2 wk. Each group was further divided into 2 subgroups according to the solvents used, i.e. Xylene (Lobachemie) and Endosolv-R (Septodont). Specimens in each subgroup were exposed to respective solvents for 1 and 2 min and the corresponding Vicker's microhardness (HV) was assessed. Data was analysed by Mauchly's test and two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with repeated measures, and one-way ANOVA. Results: Initial hardness was significantly different among the three sealers with AH Plus having the greatest and Adseal having the least. After 2 min, Xylene softened AH Plus and Adseal sealer to 11% and 25% of their initial microhardness, respectively (p < 0.001), whereas AH 26 was least affected, maintaining 89.4% of its initial microhardness. After 2 min, Endosolv-R softened AH 26, AH Plus and Adseal to 12.7, 5.6 and 8.1% of their initial microhardness, respectively (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Endosolv-R was a significantly more effective short term softener for all the tested sealers after 2 min whereas Xylene was an effective short term softener against AH plus and Adseal but less effective against AH 26.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate for the cytotoxicity of root canal sealers - Tubliseal, N2, AH26, and Sealapex - on fibroblasts cultivated from human periodontal ligament. Succinate dehydrogenase activity test and $^{51}Cr$ release test were performed to evaluate the shortterm cytotoxicity. According to l,3 and 6 days vital cell count and $^{14}C$-leucine incorporation rate to fibroblasts were evaluated. The results of this study were as follows: 1. In the test of SDH activity by millipore filter method, Sealapex showed mild cytotoxicity but Tubliseal, N2 and AH26 showed severe cytotoxicity. 2. In $^{51}Cr$ release test, Tubliseal was the most cytotoxic sealer tested, and rank ordered the relative cytotoxicity of the other sealers tested as follows: AH26, N2, Sealapex. 3. In the test of viable cell count, cytotoxicity in Tubliseal was continued because vital cell number reduced with time. Because vital cell was not showed in N2 and AH26 at 1 day, it was recognized that N2 and AH26 exhibited severe cytotoxicity. In Sealapex, vital cell number increased remarkably with time, so it showed that cytotoxicity decreased with time. 4. In $^{14}C$-leucine incorporation rate test, protein sythesis was not produced in Tubliseal, N2 and AH26 after 3 days, it showed that cytotoxicity in Tubliseal, N2 and AH26 was severe. Although protein synthesis in Sealapex decreased with time, it continued after 6 days. Therefore Sealapex has been exhibited mild cytotoxicity.

Objective: This study evaluated the presence of residual root canal filling material after retreatment using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). Materials and Methods: Extracted human teeth (single- and double-rooted, n = 21/each; C-shaped, n = 15) were prepared with ProFile and randomly assigned to three subgroups for obturation with gutta-percha and three different sealers (EndoSeal MTA, EndoSequence BC sealer, and AH Plus). After 10 days, the filling material was removed and the root canals were instrumented one size up from the previous master apical file size. The teeth were scanned using micro-CT before and after retreatment. The percentage of remaining filling material after retreatment was calculated at the coronal, middle, and apical thirds. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney U test with Bonferroni post hoc correction. Results: The tested sealers showed no significant differences in the percentage of remaining filling material in single- and double-rooted teeth, although EndoSeal MTA showed the highest value in C-shaped roots (p < 0.05). The percentage of remaining filling material of AH Plus and EndoSeal MTA was significantly higher in C-shaped roots than in single- or double-roots (p < 0.05), while that of BC sealer was similar across all root types. EndoSeal MTA showed the highest values at the apical thirds of single- and double-roots (p < 0.05); otherwise, no significant differences were observed among the coronal, middle, and apical thirds. Conclusions: Within the limitations of this study, a large amount of EndoSeal MTA remained after retreatment, especially in C-shaped root canals.

콘크리트는 내부에 결함 중 하나로써 존재하는 공극을 가진 재료이다. 만약 콘크리트의 공극률이 증가하면 콘크리트의 내구성은 감소하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트의 표면 공극을 개선하기 위하여 표면 침투제를 시험체에 적용하였다. 그리고, 두 가지 유형의 표면 침투제를 이용하여 콘크리트에 도포함으로써 염화물 침투에 대한 저항성과 동결융해 저항성을 평가하였다. 결과에 따르면, 표면 침투제는 강도와 동결융해 저항성에 악영향을 미치지 않은 것으로 보인다. 염화물 침투 저항성에 있어 표면 침투제가 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial effect of root canal cements such as AH-26, Sealapex, Canals and Apatite root sealers(Type I, II, III) and to determine the efficacy of their activities. S.mutans(AHT), S.sanguis(NCTC 9811) and B.gingivalis(381) were streaked on blood agar and the PVC tybes filled with root canal cements were applied on. Then the microorganisms were cultured for 48 hours, anaerobically. B.cereus(KCTC 1012) was streaked on nutrient agar, PVC tubes were applied on and were cultured for 48 hours, aerobically. The inhibition zones of root canal cements were measured with vernier caliper. The data statistically analyzed, and the results were as followed. 1. Apatite root sealers(Type I, II, III) showed no inhibition zones. 2. AH-26, Sealapex and Canals had inhibition zones with varying degrees. The inhibition zone of AH-26 was greatest and followed by Canals and Sealapex(P<0.01). 3. As time goes by after mixing the root canal cements, AH-26, Canals and Sealapex showed significantly reducing inhibition zones(P<0.01). 4. There were the least inhibition zones of all the root canal cements on S.mutans and followed in such order as; B.gingivalis, S.sanguis and B.cereus(P<0.01).

목적: 이 연구는 새로운 레진계 근관실러인 Any-Seal의 여러 물성을 AH Plus Jet와 비교하여 평가하고자 했다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 흐름성, 방사선 불투과성, 압축 강도를 ISO 6876/2001기준에 의해 측정하였다. 흐름성은 실러 0.05 mL를 두 개의 유리판 사이에 놓고 100 g의 무게로 눌러 측정했다. 실러 혼합 10분 뒤 무게를 제거하고 눌려진 실러의 지름을 측정했다. 방사선 불투과성은 각 근관실러를 지름 10 mm, 높이 1 mm의 디스크형 시편으로 만들어 aluminum step wedge와 함께 방사선 촬영을 하여 분석했다. 압축 강도는 각 실러를 4 mm 지름과 6 mm 높이의 실린더 형태로 만든 다음 24시간 후와 1주일 후에 측정했다. 결과: 두 근관실러의 흐름성과 방사선 불투과성 값은 ISO 6876/2001조건에 맞았다. 흐름성은 AH Plus Jet와 Any-Seal 사이에 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다(P > 0.05). AH Plus Jet가 방사선 불투과성 값을 나타냈다(P < 0.05). 24시간 후와 1주일 후 모두에서 AH Plus Jet가 더 높은 압축 강도를 보였다(P < 0.05). 결론: Any-Seal이 낮은 압축 강도를 보였으므로 다른 물리적, 생물적 특성에 대해 더 많은 연구가 임상적 활용 전에 필요할 것으로 생각한다.

The purpose of this study was the observe the toxic effects of root canal sealers in 108 white rats. Experimental animals were divided into control and experimental groups. Theree representative types of materials, such as AH26, Z.O.E. and F.R. were used in this study. Cavities were prepared on the left mandibular area of 108 white rats. Three different sealers were placed in as experiment and bone cavities were left without filling as control. The experimental animals were sacrificed by cervical dislocation at the intervals of 1, 3, 7, 14, 28 and 49 days after filling. Each specimen was fixed with 10% neutral formalin solution, decalcified with 5% nitric acid, embedded in paraffin and sectioned 5-7${\mu}$. in thickness. The paraffin sections stained with Hematoxylin - Eosin were observed through the ordinary light microscope. The results were as follows; 1. Slight toxic effect to surrounding tissue were found in every experimental specimen. 2. AH26 showed the highest inflammatory response, and F.R. showed the lowest inflammatory response which subsided and replaced by fibrosis at 4 weeks after filling. 3. The cavity filled materials, such as implanted root canal sealers, blood clots and necrotic tissue, showed a tendency to be absorbed gradually proportioned to the experimental periods. A small amount of cavity filled materials were observed in the bone cavities after 4 weeks. 4. Fibroblastic proliferation began to produce fibrous capsule around the bone cavity in 2 weeks after filling. Fibrosis was prominent at 4 weeks after filling. 5. Osteoblastic activity of surrounding bone was observed at first in 2 weeks after filling and prominent in 4 weeks after filling. Osteoblastic activity showed an increasing effect as the time prolonged. 6. Surrounding tissue of the bone cavities showed the features of tissue destruction and had very severe inflammatory response at an initial stage. Above-mentioned appeared to be recovered gradually proportioned to the experimental periods.
