SHERIDAN, WYOMING – July 29, 2025 – In a landscape defined by evolving dental materials, Dentsply Sirona’s AH Plus® continues to set the standard in endodontic sealing—celebrating 30 years of clinical trust, scientific validation, and global use across more than 800 million root canal procedures.
Three Decades of Clinical Consistency and Scientific Validation
Originally launched in Europe in 1995, AH Plus® has become the most extensively researched endodontic sealer on the market. To mark its 30th anniversary, Dentsply Sirona has published a comprehensive scientific manual showcasing peer-reviewed studies that confirm its efficacy across diverse obturation techniques and clinical scenarios. Spanning data from over 3,400 patients and nearly 3,800 teeth, the manual strengthens the product’s legacy as a benchmark material in endodontics.
Workflow Reliability Through Proven Chemistry
AH Plus® stands apart due to its unique linear epoxy-amine formulation, which contributes to:
- High adhesion to both dentin and gutta-percha
- Minimal solubility, preserving seal integrity
- Outstanding dimensional stability under intraoral conditions
“The material is based on linear epoxy-amine addition polymers, these ensure a certain degree of flexibility. In addition, it has high adhesion to dentin and gutta-percha, extremely low solubility and outstanding dimensional stability. This enables long-term, reliable sealing,” explained Prof. Joachim E. Klee, former R&D leader behind the product.
These features not only support long-term treatment success but also streamline obturation workflows for clinicians working with both primary and retreatment cases.
Anchoring Trust in the Broader Endodontic Landscape
With rising focus on efficiency, predictability, and digital workflows in endodontics, AH Plus® maintains its relevance by offering universal compatibility. Its success, even in single cone obturation—a technique favored in fast-paced general dentistry—makes it especially suited for today’s high-throughput practices.
In a competitive market of bioceramic sealers and newer resin formulations, AH Plus® remains a gold standard thanks to its unmatched body of clinical evidence and enduring formulation.
Clinician Confidence Backed by Experience
“AH Plus sealer is my go-to and has been since residency. It is consistent and reliable. I have had a lot of success with this product. I can recommend AH Plus to my colleagues: Time tested, proven by research, consistent and reliable,” said Beth Ann Damas, DDS, MS, Diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics.
Such endorsements from specialists underscore the real-world dependability of AH Plus® in daily clinical use.
Strategic Role in Integrated Endodontic Workflows
Beyond the product itself, AH Plus® is embedded in Dentsply Sirona’s broader portfolio of essential dental solutions—supporting every stage of endodontic treatment from diagnosis to obturation. According to Arjan de Roy, Group Vice President of Essential Dental Solutions at Dentsply Sirona, “We are convinced that our updated, comprehensive scientific manual will help boost trust in AH Plus® and give dentists the confidence they need to deliver successful endodontic treatments.”
This strategic integration supports Dentsply Sirona’s commitment to connected care, enabling smoother workflows for general dentists and specialists alike.
