ABSTRACT
Aim To evaluate the flow, pH and calcium release of white MTA (WMTA), salicylate-based resin root canal sealer (Sealapex; SEAL) and SEAL containing 10 (SE10) or 20% (SE20) (w/w) of MTA. Methodology Flow test was realized according to ISO 6876 specification. The sealers samples (n= 10) were placed in polyethylene tubes and immersed in deionized water. After 24 hours and 7, 14, and 28 days, the water pH was determined with a pH meter, and calcium release was assessed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Results SEAL and WMTA showed respectively the highest and lowest flow rate when compared with the other materials (P<0.05). SE20 showed the highest pH value only in 24h and 7 days periods (p<0.05). In 14- and 28-days periods, SEAL showed the lowest pH value (p<0.05), but there are no differences between other groups (p>0.05). In all periods, WMTA and SEAL respectively showed the highest and lowest calcium release (p<0.05). Conclusions SE20 proves to be an association with better flow and handling than WMTA, with satisfactory potential for alkalinization and calcium release.
ABSTRACT
A indicação das soluções anestésicas nos tratamentos endodônticos de rotina deve estar fundamentada nos conhecimentos dos possíveis efeitos que essas substâncias podem desencadear no paciente sistemicamente comprometido. Objetivo: O objetivo do presente estudo foi priorizar a indicação e discutir os possíveis efeitos secundários ou adversos passíveis de ocorrência com as substâncias que compõem as soluções anestésicas durante a rotina de tratamento dos canais radiculares (AU).
The indication of anesthetic solutions in routine endodontic treatments must be based on knowledge of the possible effects that these substances can trigger in systemically compromised patients. Aim: The aim of the present study was to prioritize the indication and discuss the possible secondary or adverse effects likely to occur with the use of substances of which anesthetic solutions are composed, during the routine treatment of root canals (AU).
