Evaluation of the Effect of Nanosilver and Bismuth oxide on the Radiopacity of a Novel Hydraulic Calcium Silicate-based Endodontic Sealer: An In vitro Study
The addition of nanosilver and bismuth oxide to the test material (Nano CS) imparted characteristic radiopacity, though the required specifications laid down by the ISO standards were not achieved. Increasing the concentration of the additives used might be considered to bring in the required radiopacity without having a significant impact on the physical and biological properties of the test material (Nano CS) intended to be used for endodontic applications.
