title: In vitro study of the effect of aged eugenol on the flow, setting time and adhesion of Grossman root canal sealer.
abstract: In the present study, the effect of aged eugenol (up to 180 days) on the flow, setting time and adhesion of Grossman root canal sealer was evaluated, following the American Dental Association specification number 57 for root canal sealers. An Instron Universal testing machine 4444 was used for testing adhesion. There were statistically significant differences between groups, with a higher flow, lower setting time and adhesion for aged eugenol. It can be concluded that time affects eugenol, with consequent effects on Grossman sealer.
