Effect of a heat‐based root canal obturation technique on push‐out bond strength of the classical bioceramic and new HiFlow sealer

摘要

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the effect of the heat‐based obturation technique on the push‐out bond strength of the classical bioceramic and new HiFlow sealer. Fifty single‐rooted human mandibular premolars were obturated using one of the following techniques: (1) BC‐SC; (2) BC‐W; (3) HiFlow‐SC; (4) HiFlow‐W; and (5) AH Plus‐W. Following obturation, specimens were sectioned into 1‐mm‐thick root slices 4 and 8?mm from the working length and were subjected to a push‐out bond test using a universal testing machine and examined for their modes of failure under an inverted phase‐contrast microscope. At both distances tested, there was no difference in the push‐out bond strength among the four bioceramic groups (P?>?0.05). The AH Plus‐W group had lower bond strength than every other group at both distances from the working length. The most common failure mode was mixed failure.
