Long-Term Impact of New Calcium-Silicate-Based Sealer on Mineral Contents and Crystallinity of Radicular Dentin: An Ex Vivo Study

Figure 3

The EDX analysis of untreated dentin (a-b) and dentin treated with HiFlow (c-d) and Sealapex (e-f) stored in either PBS or deionized water for 60 days. There were changes in means of calcium (g) and phosphate (h) constituents (weight%) as well as calcium/phosphate ratio (i) of radicular dentin treated with root sealers compared with control untreated dentin stored in either phosphate buffer solution or deionized water for 60 days.
