Effect of smear layer removal using different chelators on push-out bond strength of bioceramic sealer. Giornale Italiano di Endodonzia, 37(1), 46-53.1121-4171https://www.giornaleitalianoendodonzia.it/gie/article/view/359https://hdl.handle.net/11468/12420Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of phytic acid (IP6), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and glycolic acid (GA) used as a final irrigation solution on the push-out bond strength (POBS) of a bioceramic-based root canal sealer. Methodology: The study included 60 single-root human mandibular premolars. After the teeth were decoronated, they were cleaned and shaped using the #25.08 Reciproc R25 single file system. Throughout preparation, each canal was irrigated using 20 ml 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). The teeth were divided into 4 group, each consisting of 15 (n=15) according to the final irrigation agent [1% IP6, 10% CI, 17% EDTA, and distilled water (DW)]. The final irrigation protocol consisted of application of 5 ml chelating agent for 1 minute followed by 5 ml 5.25% NaOCl application. Root canals were filled using Well Root ST canal sealer and Reciproc R25 gutta-percha, based on the single-cone technique. A 2-mm section was extracted from the middle part of the roots to test for POBS. Values were recorded in MPa and fracture types were examined. Groups were compared using one-way ANOVA (Welch’s) test. Results: The GA, EDTA, and IP6 groups showed no significant intergroup differences (p>0.05). EDTA and GA groups had significantly higher POBS than the DW group (p[removed]0.05). Conclusion: GA increased the bond strength of the bioceramic-based canal sealer to the root canal dentin at least as much as EDTA; IP6 exhibited similar strength to these chelators, it was not better than DW.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessEDTAGlycolic acidPhytic acidPush-out bond strengthWell Root STArticle3714653WOS:0010196290000052-s2.0-8516490702410.32067/GIE.2023.37.01.05Q4N/A
