Effect of heat generated root canal filling techniques on bond strength of NeoSealer Flo BC, AH Plus BC and BioRoot RCS to root dentin.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
This study aimed to assess the effect of heat-generated root canal filling techniques-warm vertical compaction (WVC) and core-carrier (CC)-on the bond strength of bioceramic sealers (NeoSealer Flo BC, AH Plus BC, BioRoot RCS) compared with the resin-based sealer AH Plus. A total of 168 single-rooted mandibular premolars were prepared and randomly assigned to 12 groups according to sealer type and filling technique: hydraulic condensation (HC), WVC, or CC. Push-out bond strength was tested using a universal testing machine, and failure modes were analyzed. Two-way ANOVA was used for statistical comparisons (P = 0.05). The results revealed that AH Plus BC and NeoSealer Flo BC exhibited the highest mean bond strengths across techniques. Both AH Plus and BioRoot RCS showed significantly lower bond strengths (P ≤ 0.05) when used with WVC and CC. However, no significant difference (P > 0.05) was observed for AH Plus BC and NeoSealer Flo BC between WVC and CC. These findings indicate that bioceramic sealers, AH Plus BC and NeoSealer Flo BC, maintain their bonding performance under heat stress, suggesting potential clinical advantages when heat-based obturation techniques are used.
