Effect of gutta-percha cone-mediated ultrasonic activation on the push-out bond strength and dentinal tubule penetration of epoxy resin- and silicate-based root canal sealers: an in vitro study
Ultrasonic activation via a gutta-percha cone resulted in a significant reduction in bond strength of AH Plus in the apical third. No significant effect was observed for NeoMTA Plus. A similar trend was noted for intratubular penetration; however, the differences were not statistically significant in all regions.
