Description
Summary:In recent decades, there has been significant growth in research focused on biocompatible materials, particularly in the field of materials science and engineering. The primary advantages of these materials are their biocompatibility, bioactivity, and antibacterial properties. Consequently, there has been a growing utilization of bioceramic sealers in the field of endodontics. This study investigated the amounts of bioactive elements in dentin in contact with the AH Plus® Bioceramic Sealer (Dentsply, Konstanz, Germany). The results were qualitatively evaluated by examining scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images and elemental mapping and quantitatively by determining element weight (wt%) and atomic (at%) percentages obtained from EDX analysis. The AH Plus® Bioceramic Sealer demonstrated notable bioactivity through its dynamic contact with dentin at the root level.
