Evaluation of physico-chemical properties, time of hardening and draining of an endodontic sealer added to mta in different proportions

Abstract

Objective: evaluate the hardening time and flow of AH-PLUS and MTA cement in the proportions of 10%, 20% and 30% in order to add the ability to stimulate the deposition of hard tissue. Material and Methods: For the flow test, 0.5 ml of cement was deposited on a glass plate and another plate was added with an additional charge, after 10 minutes the charge was removed and the diameter of the circle formed by the cement was measured with a digital compass. For the hardening time, cylindrical molds filled with the tested cement were used, kept inside a kiln and Gillmore needle tests were performed on the material at 60 second intervals until the marks were not visible on the surface of the tested cement. Results: In the flow rate, the values obtained were: 41.1mm (10% MTA), 32.86mm (20% MTA), 21.91mm (30% MTA), 24.41mm AHPlus® and 26.47mm MTA Fillapex®. The hardening time found in this survey was 1631 ‘in proportion (10% MTA), 628.4 in proportion (20% MTA), 567’ in proportion (30% MTA), 767 in AH Plus and Fillapex MTA did not. took prey within 6 weeks. Conclusion: it was concluded that the addition of 10%, 20% and 30% of MTA to AH Plus did not change the flow properties and the established time
