Bioceramic ProRoot Bio Sealer and AH Plus Ribbon give practitioners the confidence they need to successfully perform endodontic treatments
Dentsply Sirona’s ProRoot Bio Sealer is a state-of-the-art bioceramic sealer that features a calcium silicate-based formula that has a higher bioactive cement content compared to other bioceramic sealers. The sealer supports setting, high pH value, and promotes the formation of hydroxyapatite. Clinical interim study results show very high short-term healing rates, and more stable radiographic visibility over time, compared to leading bioceramic sealers, according to the company.

The innovation of ProRoot Bio Sealer also extends to its applicator. The flexible, adaptable design of ProRoot Flex Tip allows for easy application into all canal anatomies and reduces material loss per tip by up to 49%.
These and the following properties make ProRoot Bio Sealer the material of choice when going the bioceramic obturation pathway:
- Favorable flowability, syringe extrusion force, and easy application into the root canal.
- Suitable for all obturation techniques, including cold, warm and carrier based.
- Easy retreatment..
- Non-staining formula.
- High pH value.
“ProRoot Bio Sealer has excellent viscosity allowing me to control placement. It flows into microanatomy and canal irregularities whenpresent,” David J. Landwehr, DDS, MS, Capital Endodontics, Madison, Wisconsin, stated. “When a bioceramic sealer is the best alternative, ProRoot Bio Sealer will be my choice.”
Improved Consistency and Adhesion with AH Plus Ribbon
Like ProRoot Bio Sealer, Dentsply Sirona’s AH Plus Ribbon also became available in the US last fall. Enhancing a clinically proven solution—that’s the promise of the AH Plus Ribbon next-generation endodontic sealer. It builds on the proven Ribbon/AH Plus technology, trusted for 30 years, and features improved paste consistency and adhesion to gutta-percha.
Today, AH Plus is the world’s most researched brand of endodontic sealers. It is formulated to offer excellent long-term sealing properties , outstanding radiopacity, and can be used with both cold and warm obturation techniques.
AH Plus Ribbon endodontic sealer offers 2 significant advancements compared to former Ribbon: Improved paste consistency for easier mixing and better flowability and improved adhesion to gutta-percha supports the overall success of root canal treatment. This promotes the integrity of the seal and reduces the risk of leakage, which are critical factors in achieving treatment success. Thanks to its favorable dimensional stabilitywith slight expansion, AH Plus Ribbon is an excellent choice for all root canal obturation techniques, especially the single-cone method.
The company delivers what clinicians expect from an efficient endodontic sealer: “The flowability is even better—thanks to its modified consistency,” added Beth Damas, DDS, MS, Diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics from Orland Park, Illinois. “This version allows us to reach many lateral canals, which is exactly what we need in practice, I really like that.”
AH Plus Ribbon is built on the proven resin technology from Dentsply Sirona used in over 800 million root canal fillings.
“Every dentist has an individual approach to endodontic treatment,” explains Arjan de Roy, group vice president essential dental solutions atDentsply Sirona. “With AH Plus Ribbon and ProRoot Bio Sealer, we offer a choice that matches the personal preferences of each user. Both endodontic sealers meet the highest standards and are based on clinically proven technologies. By providing the ‘Best of Both Worlds’ with regards to both sealer technologies, we’re convinced that each sealer will give practitioners the confidence they need to successfully perform endodontic treatments.”
