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

Figure 4

X-ray diffraction pattern showing the crystalline fluorapatite phases of untreated, HiFlow-treated dentin and Sealapex-treated dentin, stored in phosphate buffer solution (a) and deionized water (b) for 60 days, respectively. The crystallinity percent was decreased with tested sealers (c).
