Background:

Adequate bioactivity of bioceramics relies on chemical interaction and proper bonding with dentin.
Enhancing the wettability and marginal adaptation of bioceramics to dentin is critical for clinical success.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the effect of surface-active agents (%0.5 cetrimide and %1 alkylbenzene sulfonate) on dentin.
To assess the impact of these agents on the wettability and marginal adaptation of bioceramics (MTA, Biodentine, BioRoot).

Main Methods:

Ninety maxillary central incisors were used, with root halves randomly assigned to no pre-treatment, %0.5 cetrimide, or %1 alkylbenzene sulfonate groups.
Wettability was assessed using a dynamic contact angle analyzer, and marginal adaptation was evaluated microscopically after root canal filling.
Statistical analysis involved one-way ANOVA and post hoc Tukey tests with a significance level of P<0.05.

Main Results:

Pre-treatment with surface-active agents significantly reduced contact angle values and interfacial gap widths compared to the control group (P<0.05).
%0.5 cetrimide showed significant results with Biodentine, while %1 alkylbenzene sulfonate was significant with BioRoot (P<0.05).

Conclusions:

The tested surfactants show promise in improving bioceramic wettability and marginal adaptation to root dentin.
Enhanced wettability and adaptation are essential for achieving adequate sealing, penetration, and bond strength of bioceramics.
