The purpose of this study was to investigate temperature-dependent rheological properties of three endodontic sealers MTA Fillapex (Angelus, Brazil), AH Plus (Dentsply, Germany), and EndoREZ (Ultradent, USA).
Five samples of each group of endodontic sealers (n = 30) were freshly mixed and placed on the plate of a rheometer (MCR 301, AntonPaar, Physica) and examined at 25°C and 37°C temperature, respectively. Rheological properties of the sealers were calculated according to the loss modulus (G″), storage modulus (G'), loss factor (Tan δ), and complex viscosity (η*) using dynamic oscillatory shear tests.
Statistical analysis (Wilcoxon signed-rank test) demonstrated that MTA Fillapex exhibited higher loss modulus (G″ > G') and a crossover region. AH Plus and EndoREZ had a higher storage modulus (G' > G″) at both temperatures. Loss factor (Tan δ) of MTA Fillapex was the highest compared to AH Plus, followed by EndoREZ. With a temperature change from 25°C to 37°C, MTA Fillapex exhibited a decrease while AH Plus exhibited an increase and, EndoREZ exhibited the least change, in complex viscosity (η*).
EndoREZ exhibited better rheological properties compared to the other two test sealers.
本研究旨在调查三种根管封闭剂MTA Fillapex(巴西安热卢斯公司)、AH Plus(德国登士柏公司)和EndoREZ(美国Ultradent公司)的温度依赖性流变学特性。
每组根管封闭剂取五个样本(n = 30),新鲜混合后置于流变仪(MCR 301,安东帕公司,Physica)的平板上,分别在25°C和37°C温度下进行检测。使用动态振荡剪切试验,根据损耗模量(G″)、储能模量(G')、损耗因子(Tan δ)和复数粘度(η*)计算封闭剂的流变学特性。
统计分析(Wilcoxon符号秩检验)表明,MTA Fillapex表现出更高的损耗模量(G″ > G')和一个交叉区域。AH Plus和EndoREZ在两个温度下均具有更高的储能模量(G' > G″)。与AH Plus相比,MTA Fillapex的损耗因子(Tan δ)最高,其次是EndoREZ。随着温度从25°C变化到37°C,MTA Fillapex的复数粘度(η*)降低,AH Plus的复数粘度增加,而EndoREZ的复数粘度变化最小。
与其他两种受试封闭剂相比,EndoREZ表现出更好的流变学特性。
