Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the relative bond strengths of AH-26 and Epiphany sealers to both Resilon and composite resin. Four groups of substrate/bonded sealer combinations were tested: group A, composite resin substrate + Epiphany sealer; group B, composite resin substrate + AH-26 sealer; group C, Resilon substrate + Epiphany sealer; and group D, Resilon substrate + AH-26 sealer. Bond strength was evaluated in shear mode by using a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. Statistical analysis (Kruskall-Wallis and Dunn tests) showed that the bond strength of AH-26 to both substrates was significantly greater than the bond strength of Epiphany. Therefore, the monoblock in the root canal might be more effectively achieved by combining Resilon core material with the epoxy resin-based sealer (AH-26) rather than Epiphany sealer.Entities:
