Abstract
AIM: To evaluate and compare the push-out bond strength of MTA Fillapex (Angelus, Londrina, Brazil) and iRoot SP (Innovative BioCeramix Inc., Vancouver, Canada) to the dentine walls of root canals. AH Plus (Dentsply DeTrey, Konstaz, Germany) and MTA (Angelus, Londrina, Brazil) were used as reference materials. METHODOLOGY: Sixty extracted human single-rooted teeth were selected. After standardized canal preparation and irrigation, the canals were dried with paper points and filled with one of four sealers: AH Plus, iRoot SP, MTA and MTA Fillapex. Roots were sectioned, and push-out tests were performed. The values of bond strength were analysed using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Mann-Whitney with Bonferroni correction was used to isolate the differences. The alpha-type error was set at 0.05 for the analyses. RESULTS: All specimens had measurable adhesion to root dentine and no premature failure occurred. There were significant differences amongst materials (P = 0.000). MTA-filled specimens had higher push-out bond strength values (P = 0.000). AH Plus had significantly higher bond strength than both Fillapex and iRoot SP (P = 0.000). Both Fillapex and iRoot SP had the lowest push-out bond strength amongst all experimental groups (P = 0.000). No difference occurred between the two calcium silicate-based root canal sealers (P = 0.265). CONCLUSION: The adhesion to root dentine associated with newer calcium silicate-based sealers was compromised even when well-monitored laboratory conditions were used.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
