ABSTRACT
Objetivo: Evaluar el ajuste y la adaptación apical de los conos de gutapercha de cuatro diferentes sistemas de instrumentación y obturación endodóntica en conductos curvos simulados. Materiales y métodos: Se emplearon 4 Endo Training Blocks (Dentsply Sirona) con conductos curvos simulados, instrumentados hasta el límite de trabajo, fijado en el orificio de salida del conducto. Con ese propósito se empleó un tope metálico confeccionado ad hoc, ajustado en la concavidad de la salida del conducto, a fin de asegurar el límite de la instrumentación en todos los bloques de trabajo. El tope metálico se mantuvo en la posición por medio de una morsa de mesa. Los conductos fueron permeabilizados con una lima tipo K #10 (Dentsply Sirona). A continuación, se procedió con los protocolos de instrumentación de los sistemas por evaluar en cada Endo Training Block. Se emplearon los sistemas ProTaper Next (Dentsply Sirona), ProTaper Gold (Dentsply Sirona), WaveOne Gold (Dentsply Sirona) y Reciproc Blue (VDW) de acuerdo con las especificaciones del fabricante (grupos 1, 2, 3 y 4 respectivamente). Los conductos fueron irrigados con agua destilada a cada cambio de instrumento y al finalizar la preparación, y secados con conos de papel. Luego se evaluaron, en el respectivo Endo Training Block, el ajuste y la adaptación apical a la longitud de trabajo de 10 conos de gutapercha del sistema correspondiente. Para la evaluación del ajuste, se introdujeron los conos de gutapercha en el conducto simulado respectivo y se elevaron ambos hasta 10 cm de altura, manteniéndolos durante 10 segundos. Cuando se conservaban en esa situación, se consideraba que el cono ajustaba; si se desprendían antes de ese lapso, se establecía la falta de ajuste. Así mismo, se constató en cada caso su adaptación apical a la longitud de trabajo con un microscopio clínico operativo a 8,5X. Para la evaluación total se consideraron las siguientes categorías: 1, el cono de gutapercha llegaba a la longitud de trabajo y ajustaba; 2, el cono de gutapercha llegaba a la longitud de trabajo, pero no ajustaba; 3, el cono de gutapercha no llegaba a la longitud de trabajo; y 4, el cono de gutapercha sobrepasaba la longitud de trabajo. Resultados: Entre los grupos 1, 3 y 4 no se observaron variables intrasistemas de ajuste y adaptación apical a la longitud de trabajo. En el grupo 2 sí las hubo, pero la diferencia entre grupos no fue significativa (P>0,05). Conclusiones: De los cuatro sistemas utilizados, en tres de ellos el empleo de un cono único de gutapercha garantizó, en todas las pruebas, la adaptación y el ajuste a la longitud de trabajo (AU)
Aim: To evaluate in the tugback and apical adaptation at the working length of four different mechanized systems gutta-percha cones in simulated curved canals. Materials and methods: Four Endo Training Blocks (Dentsply Sirona) with simulated curved canals were instrumented up to the working length established at the orifice located in the canal exit. A metal stop was adjusted in the concavity present at the exit of the canal to ensure the working length during instrumentation in all blocks. The metal stop was maintained using a table walrus. Canal patency was achieved with a #10 K file (Dentsply Sirona). Then the instrumentation protocols for the different systems were performed in each Endo Training Block. ProTaper Next (Dentsply Sirona), ProTaper Gold (Dentsply Sirona), WaveOne Gold (Dentsply Sirona) and Reciproc Blue (VDW) were used according to the manufacturers' instructions (groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively). The canals were irrigated with distilled water between instruments and at the end of the preparation and dried with paper points. Then, the tugback and the apical adaptation at the working length of 10 gutta-percha cones of each system were evaluated in the corresponding Endo Training Block. For the tugback analysis, the gutta-percha cones were introduced in the respective simulated canal and both were raised up to 10 cm in height, holding them for 10 seconds. If the cones remained intact in their position, it was considered that the cone tugback was appropriate, if the cones were detached, a lack of tugback was considered. Likewise, a clinical operating microscope at 8.5X was used to confirm the apical adaptation to the working length in each case. For the overall evaluation the following categories were considered: 1, the gutta-percha cone reached the working length with tugback; 2, the gutta-percha cone reached the working length without tugback; 3, the gutta-percha cone did not reach the working length; 4, the gutta-percha cone exceeded the working length. Results: In three groups 1, 3 and 4 they were not found intra-systems variables in the tugback at the working length. In one group there were observed intra-systems variables but the differences between groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05) (AU)

This study was done to evaluate the tensile strength of gutta–percha using 5% sodium hypochlorite(SH), 2% chlorhexidine(CH) and 1% peracetic acid disinfectant solutions. 40 guttapercha cones of size 30(6% taper) were obtained from sealed packs as 4 different groups. Experimental groups were disinfected using 5% sodium hypochlorite, 2% chlorhexidine, 1% peracetic acid respectively except the control group. Then tensile strength of gutta–percha cones were measured using the universal testing machine. The mean tensile strength values for group I, II, III, IV are 7.003MPa, 8.49 MPa, 6.60MPa and 9.45MPa respectively. Results were subjected to statistical analysis one–way analysis of varience test and unpaired ‘t’ test. 1% peracetic acid decreased tensile strength significantly as compared to 5% sodium hypochlorite and 2% chlorhexidine. The result concluded that the least decreased in tensile strength is for chlorhexidine followed by sodium hypochlorite and peracetic acid.
ABSTRACT
Objetivo: O presente trabalho teve o objetivo de determinar as dimensões e verificar se os instrumentos X1, X2 e X3 atendem as recomendações da norma ANSI/ ADA nº 101 e se os cones de guta-percha F1, F2 e F3 atendem a norma ANSI/ADA nº 78. Material e Métodos: Os resultados dos instrumentos foram comparados com as dimensões dos cones de guta-percha. Foram utilizados 10 instrumentos e 10 cones de cada tipo. As imagens para análise micromorfométrica foram obtidas com uma lupa Opticam e as medidas determinadas com o software TSView versão 7.2.1.7. Os diâmetros em D3, D6 e D9 reais foram comparados com os nominais pelo teste t-student. Os diâmetros dos instrumentos em D3, D6 e D9 foram comparados com os dos cones pelo teste Anova e complementados com teste de comparações múltiplas SNK. Todos os testes adotaram nível de significância α=5%. Resultados: Os resultados obtidos mostraram que há diferença estatisticamente significante entre as dimensões reais e nominais dos instrumentos (p < 0,05). O instrumento X3 apresentou diferença estatisticamente significante em relação ao cone F1 (p < 0,05), onde os valores do cone são menores do que os dos instrumentos. Conclusão: Dentro das limitações deste estudo pôde-se concluir que: os instrumentos X1 e os cones de guta-percha não atenderam as recomendações de suas normas. O cone F1 pode ser uma opção para obturação dos canais modelados com o instrumento X3, porém a termoplastificação se faz necessária.
Objective: The aim of the present study was to verify if the Protaper Next instruments X1, X2, and X3 and the Protaper Universal gutta-percha cones F1, F2, and F3 meet the ANSI/ADA 101 and 78 recommendations. Material and Methods: The instruments' dimensions were compared with those obtained by the gutta-percha cones. For this, ten instruments and ten cones of each type were used. Micromorphometric images were obtained and analyzed through a stereomicroscope (OptiCam) and measurements were obtained with TSView software, version 7.2.1.7. The D3, D6, and D9 diameters were compared with the nominal diameters using the Student's t-test. After this, the real diameters of the instruments D3, D6, and D9 were compared with the gutta-percha cone diameters by Anova supplemented with SNK test for multiple comparisons. A p ≤0.05 was considered significant. Results: The results showed statistically significant differences between the real diameter and nominal diameter of the instruments (p <0.05). The X3 instrument showed a statistically significant difference when compared to the F1 cone (p <0.05), and the cone values were lower than the instrument values. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, it can be concluded that: 1) the X1 instrument and the gutta-percha points did not meet the recommendations, and 2) the F1 cone can be an option for filling the modeled channels with the X3 instrument, but termoplastification is required.
ABSTRACT
Introdução e Objetivo: O presente estudo teve por objetivo avaliar e comparar as medidas do diâmetro D1 de cones estandardizados e secundários calibrados com régua calibradora através da medição do primeiro milímetro dos cones, com um paquímetro digital. Material e Métodos: utilizou-se dez cones de guta-percha estandardizados de cada calibre #25, #30, #35 e #40 das marcas Dentsply/Maillefer e Tanari, e cones secundários B8 calibrados por régua calibradora, perfazendo um total de 160 cones. Com o auxílio de um paquímetro digital eletrônico foi verificado o diâmetro a um milímetro da ponta do cone (D1). Resultados: obteve-se que em uma das marcas houve diferença significativa entre os cones padronizados e os calibrados. Quando comparado o calibre dos cones padronizados das duas marcas, também ocorreu diferença estatística, não ocorrendo quando os cones foram calibrados por régua calibradora. Conclusão: os cones Tanari, em média, tiveram um resultado superior aos cones calibrados e Dentsply, nessa ordem.
Introduction and Objective: The present study had for objective to evaluate and to compare the measures of the D1 diameter of calibrated standardized and secondary cones calibrated using a special scale through the measurement of the first millimeter of the cones, with one digital caliper. Material and Methods: Ten standardized gutta-percha cones of each type had been used: #25, #30, #35 and #40. The manufacturers were Dentsply/Maillefer and Tanari, and secondary cones B8 calibrated by a special scale, making a total of 160 cones. With the aid of a digital electronic caliper was verified the diameter to the one millimeter back from the tip of the cone (D1). Results: one of the manufacturers brand had significant difference between the standardized cones and the calibrated ones. When compared, the caliber of the standardized cones of both brands presented difference in statistics, not occurring when the cones had been calibrated by the special scale. Conclusion: the Tanari cones, on average, had a superior result compared to the calibrated cones and Dentsply, in this order.

This study investigated the effectiveness of detergent and aqueous solutions of 2 percent chlorhexidine digluconate in decontaminating gutta-percha cones (gpc) contaminated with bacteria, yeast, or bacterial spores. Gutta-percha cones were contaminated with 10(7)-10(8) colony-forming units per milliliter (cfu/ml) of the following test organisms: Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, or Candida albicans. Spores of Bacillus subtilis were also tested. Contaminated gpc were treated with the chlorhexidine solutions for 1, 5, 10, or 15 min. Each cone was then transferred to a tube containing saline and the micoorganisms were recovered after homogenization for cfu determination. Both detergent and aqueous chlorhexidine solutions were effective in eliminating S. aureus, E. faecalis, and C. albicans cells adhered on the surface of gpc within 1 min of exposure. E. coli was eliminated in 5 min with detergent solution. The Bacillus subtilis spores were eliminated by chlorhexidine solutions within 5 min. The results of this study demonstrated that both aqueous and detergent solutions of 2 percent chlorhexidine digluconate were effective in decontaminating gpc within 5 minutes of exposure.

ABSTRACT
Os cones de guta-percha são os principais materiais obturadores dos canais radiculares. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a eficácia de alguns produtos na descontaminação desses cones. No trabalho em questão, utilizaram-se 80 cones de guta-percha #40, separados em 8 grupos (10 cones). Contaminaram-se 70 cones com Enterecoccus faecalis por imersão em solução salina contendo 10 a 10 células bacterianas/mL. Os grupos sofreram descontaminação por G1: álcool 70% ; G2: álcool 70% + iodo 1%; G3: álcool 70% + clorexidina 4%; G4: clorexidina 4%; G5: NaOCl 2,5%; G6: NaOCl 5,25%; G7: solução salina; G8: não foi contaminado e não sofreu descontaminação (controle). Após 1 minuto em contato com cada produto, cinco (5) cones foram retirados, lavados em solução salina estéril e introduzidos individualmente em tubos contendo caldo BHI. Os cones restantes foram retirados após 5 minutos em contato com as soluções, repetindo o mesmo processo dos anteriores. O conjunto de tubos foi agitado por 1 minuto e levado à estufa a 37ºC por 48 horas. Os tubos que apresentavam turbidez do caldo BHI foram considerados positivos. Observou-se que no tempo de 1 minuto houve crescimento bacteriano nos grupos 1,2,5 e 7, e no tempo de 5 minutos somente os grupos 5 e 7 apresentaram crescimento bacteriano. O grupo 8 teve um cone contaminado. Com a metodologia empregada, concluímos que a associação de álcool 70% com clorexidina 4%, solução aquosa de clorexidina 4% e NaOCl 5,25% não permitiu o desenvolvimento de E. faecalis, promovendo portanto boa desinfecção dos cones de guta-percha num tempo adequado para prática clínica
The cones of gutta-percha are the main root canal filling materials. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of some products in the decontamination of these cones. Eighty (80) cones of gutta-percha #40, separated in 8 groups with 10 cones each one, have been used as sampling. Seventy cones have been contaminated with Enterecoccus faecalis for immersion in saline solution contends 105 to 108 bacterial cells/mL. The groups have suffered decontamination for G1: alcohol 70%; G2: alcohol 70% + iodine 1%; G3: alcohol 70% + chlorexidine 4%; G4: chlorexidine 4%; G5: NaOCl 2,5%; G6: NaOCl 5,25%; G7: saline solution; G8: it was not contaminated and it did not suffer decontamination (control). After 1 minute in contact with each product, five (5) cones have been removed, washed in sterile saline solution and introduced individually in tubes containing BHI solution. The other cones have been removed after 5 minutes in contact with the solutions, repeating the same process of the previous ones. The set of tubes have been agitated per 1 minute and taken to the sterilizer and kept there at 37ºC for 48 hours. The tubes that presented turbidity of BHI solution have been considered positive. It could be observed that in the time of 1 minute there was a bacterial growth in groups 1, 2, 5 and 7 and in the time of 5 minutes only groups 5 and 7 had presented bacterial growth. Group 8 presented one contaminated cone. With the used methodology, we concluded that the alcohol 70% + chlorexidine 4%, chlorexidine 4% and NaOCl 5,25% solutions did not allow the development of E. faecalis, promoting therefore good disinfection of the gutta-percha cones in an adjusted time for clinic practice
