Comparison Between Sealpex Cement VS AH Plus Cement: A Bibliographic Review

Abstract

Root filling cements have been of great help in endodontic treatment due to their ease of use and clinical management, the choice of sealer being essential and the properties that each of them predisposes to its biocompatibility, which is why we have made a comparison between calcium hydroxide (sealapex) and epoxy resin (AH-Plus), so that sealapex maintains stable biocompatibility and releases calcium hydroxide that favors the internal structures of the periodontium,  however it does not have a very fluid dispersion inside the canal, making it difficult for the material to adhere to the root walls, while the AH. Plus cement has better adherence and fractionally easy adaptability to the root walls, however the level of antimicrobial activity that each one has precedes a study carried out against the microorganisms of streptococcus faecalis being so that the sealapex has a h to the inhibitory 6.0mm and the AH-Plus cement a 7.92mm halo provided an effective inhibition of invading microorganisms,  as detailed in the analysis, the AH-Plus cement, being a resinous base, has the property of adequately adhering This generates a peripheral sealing of the site and an easy biocompatibility of the periodontal structures, being that after a correct obturation, the preferred restorative material must be taken into account so as not to generate micro leaks which can spread by starting a bacterium. that disintegrates the entire endodontic treatment.
