An EpoxySeal dental sealer is a resin-based material used in endodontics (root canal treatment) to seal the canal space and ensure a tight seal between the root canal walls and the gutta-percha filling material. Its primary purpose is to prevent bacterial leakage and reinfection after the root canal procedure.
Features of EpoxySeal Dental Sealer:
1. Adhesive Properties: Provides excellent bonding with dentin and filling materials.
2. Dimensional Stability: Ensures a long-lasting, leak-proof seal.
3. Antimicrobial Activity: Some formulations include components that inhibit bacterial growth.
4. Radiopacity: Allows visibility in radiographs for confirmation of placement.
5. Biocompatibility: Safe for use in dental tissues when applied correctly.
Commonly Used EpoxySeal Dental Sealer:
1. AH Plus: A popular, epoxy-resin-based root canal sealer known for its excellent sealing ability, biocompatibility, and ease of use.
2. AH 26: Another epoxy-based sealer with good handling characteristics and antibacterial properties during the setting process.

Application in Root Canal Therapy:
1. Preparation: After cleaning and shaping the root canal, the canal is dried using paper points.
2. Mixing: The epoxy sealer components are mixed as per the manufacturer's instructions.
3. Application: The sealer is applied to the canal walls using files, lentulo spirals, or other applicators.
4. Filling: Gutta-percha points are coated with the sealer and inserted into the canal to fill the space.
