Abstract
Analysis of tooth resistance after obtaining them with regular sealers in addition to calcium silicate based ones and graphene oxide modified versions is of interest. Hence, 3 groups containing sixty premolars underwent universal testing machine evaluation. The mean fracture resistance value for teeth treated with graphene oxide (GO)-modified sealer reached 530 ± 22 N in Group 3 which resulted in significantly better results than the other tested groups (p < 0.05). We show that GO-added sealers lead to superior structural reinforcement for teeth which have undergone root canal treatment. Introducing GO into endodontic treatment regimens would lower the risk of fractures and result in better treatment performance.
