Dentsply Ah Plus Root Canal Sealant
Dentsply AH Plus Root Canal Sealer
Dentsply AH Plus Root Canal Sealer is a two-component epoxy-amine resin-based paste sealer, known for its extremely low shrinkage, making it ideal for sealing root canals. It's particularly compatible with ProTaper Thermafil obturators, as its setting reaction is not compromised by thermoplastic obturation.
Indications:
- Used with obturating materials to ensure an effective seal of the root canal system.
Advantages:
- Suitable for both hot and cold obturation techniques.
- Provides a tight, self-adhesive seal.
- Offers dimensional stability and excellent biocompatibility.
- Exhibits moderate antimicrobial properties.
- Highly radiopaque for clear visibility on radiographs.
Features:
Radio-opacity
-
AH Plus offers enhanced radio-opacity, making even the thinnest layers of filling material visible during X-rays, regardless of the condensation technique used. This improvement is due to the use of new fillers with higher absorption capacity.
Shrinkage, Solubility, and Expansion:
-
AH Plus is designed to provide exceptional sealing by minimizing shrinkage and solubility, which are critical for maintaining the impermeability of the treated root canal.
Film Thickness:
-
With a film thickness of just 26µm, AH Plus surpasses the ISO standard requirement of less than 50µm for root canal sealing materials.
Flow Behavior:
- AH Plus features a slightly thixotropic flow behavior, ensuring easy mixing and stable introduction into the root canal. Its flow of 36 mm exceeds the ISO standard requirement of 25 mm, making it
highly suitable for precise application.
Sealing Abilities:
- AH Plus excels in sealing root canals, ensuring an impermeable barrier.
Adhesion to Dentin:
-
AH Plus adheres effectively to dentin, reducing the risk of microleakage and maintaining a cohesive filling.

STEP 1
Preparation of the Root Canal
- Prior to the application of AH Plus, prepare, clean, and dry the root canals to be filled using state-of-the-art endodontic techniques.
STEP 2
Dosage and Mixing
- Using AH Plus in tubes: Mix equal volume units (1:1) of Paste A and Paste B on a glass slab or a mixing pad using a metal spatula.
- Mix to a homogeneous consistency.
