In Vitro Biocompatibility of Endodontic Sealers Incorporating Antibacterial Nanoparticles

The main cause of endodontic disease is bacteria. Disinfection is presently achieved by cleaning the root canal system prior to obturation. Following setting, root canal filling is devoid of any antibacterial effect. Endodontic sealers with antimicrobial properties yet biocompatible may enhance root...
