Mechanical Properties of Newly Developed Titanium Oxide-Containing Root Canal Sealers

Abstract

Allergy caused by dental metals has been getting a great deal of attention , and there are not a few case that require the expenditure of a lot of efforts at treating patients for dental metal allergy in daily practice. In endodontics , zinc oxide that is contained in root canal sealers is not considered a negligible material.In the present study , root canal sealers containing titanium oxide as an alternative material to zinc oxide were developed to evaluate their mechanical properties in the ISO (6876)Standard.
