Title: Hydraulic condensation in endodontics
Abstract:
The sealing of both the main root canal and its accessory ramifications, preventing apical percolation. The Epoxy resin–based sealers are commonly used as endodontic sealers but do not possess desirable biological properties, Most of the sealers create a hermetic seal but lack antimicrobial effects. Hydraulic cements are a group of materials, which hydrate in contact with water and also interact with environmental fluids.Hydraulic calcium silicate-based (HCSB) materials were introduced as endodontic materials with high bioactivity. While the most commonly used (HCSB) material derived from Portland cement is MTA, These biological properties of MTA are related to its continuous release of Ca2+, attributed to its good biocompatibility, mineralized tissue-inductivity and anti-inflammatory properties.
In various studies these materials show promising results intracoronl, intraradicular, and extraradicular. Hydraulic technique consists in employing a single cone with a large amount of sealer, which acts as a filling material providing 3D tight and durable seal, bioceramic sealers could spread into any root canal irregularity and non-instrumented space and has shown excellent adhesive properties to dentin.
