comparison of the physical properties of three resin-based root canal sealers: an in-vitro study

This in-vitro study aimed to evaluate the physical properties of three resin-based root canal sealers (beta rcs, ah26, and adseal) in terms of flow and film thickness as per iso 6876/2012. the results revealed that the flow values of beta rcs, adseal, and ah26 sealers were 23.06±1.58, 22.5±4.23, and 21.85±1.71, respectively. moreover, film thickness values for beta rcs, adseal, and ah26 sealers were 52.33±2.51, 18.66±0.57, and 52±2, respectively. no significant difference was observed regarding film thickness between ah26 and beta rcs sealers (p>0.05), while adseal showed better result in terms of film thickness than other sealers (p˂0.05). the highest solubility was related to beta rcs (0.6%), and the lowest to adseal (0.07%). however, all sealers had acceptable solubility and radiopacity. the findings of the current study suggested that all tested root canal sealers had similar properties based on iso 6876 standard criteria.
