Study Notes
Formation of a Monoblock
- The prerequisites for the formation of a monoblock include a bond between the sealer and dentin, and adaptation of the sealer to the canal walls and root filling material.
Primary Monoblock
- A primary monoblock is associated with epoxy resin-based sealers, such as AH Plus.
- In a primary monoblock, the sealer forms a strong bond with the dentin and the root filling material, creating a single cohesive unit.
Definition of Monoblock
- A monoblock refers to the creation of a single cohesive unit with the dentin wall, resulting in a solid and optimal seal in the canal space.
Causes of Microleakage
- The options that are NOT causes of microleakage in root canal obturation are not listed in the text.
Primary vs. Secondary Monoblock
- Secondary monoblocks are distinguished from primary monoblocks by their poor bonding between sealers and dentin.
Gutta Percha
- Gutta percha is considered too plastic to strengthen the roots because it lacks the rigidity to resist forces that can cause root fracture.
- Conventional gutta-percha fails primarily due to its inability to bond with dentin.
Obturation Systems
- Activ GP is an obturation system composed of a core material containing gutta-percha impregnated and coated with glass ionomer on its external surface.
- The glass ionomer in Activ GP creates a chemical bond with the dentin.
EndoREZ Sealer
- EndoREZ sealer is known for its ability to penetrate dentinal tubules due to its unique property of flow and film thickness.
Surface Modification of Gutta Percha
- Surface modification of gutta percha is attempted to enhance its adaptability through improvisation.
Bioceramic Coated Materials
- Bioceramic coated materials are beneficial for sealing canals due to their ability to form a strong bond with dentin.
Secondary Monoblocks
- Root canal obturations are considered secondary monoblock systems despite poor bonding between sealers and dentin because they still provide a solid seal in the canal space.
Tertiary Monoblocks
- Tertiary monoblocks are differentiated from secondary monoblocks by their ability to form a strong bond between the sealer and dentin, as well as the root filling material.

Description
Test your knowledge about dental endodontic materials such as surface modified gutta percha, medicated gutta percha, water expandable root canal obturation system, MTA, resin sealer, silicone sealer, and bioceramic sealer. Explore causes of microleakage including thermal stresses, occlusal loading, water sorption, poor adhesion and wetting, and polymerization shrinkage. Understand the monoblock concept in endodontics.
