Calcium Silicate-Based Sealers: Apatite Deposition on Root Canal Dentin and pH Variation Analysis.
Article in European journal of dentistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThis study analyzes the biomineralization potential of calcium silicate-based sealers Ceraseal (Meta Biomed Co., Cheongju, Korea) and AH Plus Bioceramic (Dentsply Sirona, United States), focusing on evaluating apatite deposition in root canal dentin and pH increases. MATERIALS AND
methodsCalcium silicate-based sealers Ceraseal (Meta Biomed Co.) and AH Plus Bioceramic (Dentsply Sirona) were applied to the root canal dentin of premolars that had undergone root canal preparation procedures. This was followed by a 14-day immersion in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Biomineralization analysis was performed by analyzing the formation of the apatite layer after the 14-day immersion. The thickness of the apatite layer deposits was observed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Additionally, the sealers were placed in molds and submerged in PBS solution with pH measurements taken on days 0, 7, and 14 using a digital pH meter. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: The average thickness of apatite deposition in the interfacial layer was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney's test. The pH value differences among the groups were analyzed using a one-way analysis of variance test, followed by a post hoc least significant difference.
resultsThere were differences in the apatite deposition in the interfacial layer between Ceraseal and AH Plus Bioceramic within 14 days of observation. There was a significant difference (
conclusionCalcium silicate-based sealer Ceraseal showed better biomineralization potential than AH Plus Bioceramic.
