ABSTRACT

El retratamiento no quirúrgico es la primera opción ante el fracaso del tratamiento endodóntico, por lo que se vuelve importante asegurar el completo retiro del material de relleno del conducto radicular, para mejorar el pronóstico del procedimiento. Los cementos biocerámicos en base a silicatos cálcicos han aparecido en los últimos años, caracterizados principalmente por su bioactividad, lo que adicionalmente se puede traducir en una mayor dificultad para su retiro del conducto radicular. El objetivo de esta revisión es determinar qué técnica de retratamiento es más efectiva en la eliminación de cementos selladores biocerámicos, en base al volumen de material remanente en el conducto radicular, evaluado a través del análisis de imágenes con micro-CT. Se realizó una revisión sistemática mediante la búsqueda de publicaciones en las bases de datos Pubmed, ScienceDirect y SciELO, de los últimos 10 años, en idioma español e inglés. Se incluyeron sólo estudios in vitro de dientes obturados con cemento biocerámico y diferentes técnicas de retratamiento endodóntico, en los que se evalúe la limpieza del conducto post eliminación del relleno mediante micro-CT. De un total de 174 artículos encontrados, 7 fueron seleccionados, analizados y se incluyeron en esta revisión sistemática. Los resultados de los estudios seleccionados no encuentran diferencias significativas en la eliminación de material entre las diferentes técnicas de retratamiento evaluadas. A pesar de la heterogeneidad presente en las metodologías de los artículos analizados, ninguna técnica de retratamiento ni técnicas complementarias lograron dejar completamente limpios los conductos radiculares, por lo que se sugiere realizar nuevos estudios en el futuro que evalúen nuevas técnicas de desobturación radicular.


Non-surgical retreatment is the first option in the case of endodontic treatment failure, so it becomes important to ensure complete removal of the root canal filling material, to improve the prognosis of the procedure. Bioceramic cements based on calcium silicate have appeared in recent years, characterized mainly for their bioactivity, which can additionally translate into greater difficulty in their removal from the root canal. The aim of this review is to determine which retreatment technique is most effective in the removal of bioceramic sealer cements, evaluated through micro-CT image analysis. A systematic review was performed by searching for publications in Pubmed, ScienceDirect and SciELO databases, of the last 10 years in Spanish and English. Only in vitro studies of teeth filled with bioceramic cement and different endodontic retreatment techniques were included, in which the cleaning of the canal after removal of the filling was evaluated by micro- CT. From a total of 174 articles found, 7 were selected, analyzed and included in this systemic review. The results of the included studies did not find significant differences in the removal of material between the different retreatment techniques evaluated. Despite the heterogeneity in the methodologies of the studies, no retreatment technique or complementary techniques were able to completely clean the root canals, it is therefore suggested that new studies be carried out in the future to evaluate new techniques.

ABSTRACT

Abstract This laboratory study aimed to evaluate the influence of endodontic sealer and cervical limit of root filling on the discoloration of root canal treated teeth. Bovine incisors were randomly distributed into six experimental groups and control (n=21/group), according to the endodontic sealer used [AH Plus (AP); MTA Fillapex (MF) and Sealer Plus BC (SPB)] and the cervical limit of root filling [dental cervix (DC) or 2 mm in apical direction (2mm-AD)]. Tooth discoloration (ΔE) was evaluated by a digital spectrophotometer using the CIED2000 method. Color assessments were performed immediately before (baseline), 1 week, 1, 3, 6 months, and 1 year after obturation. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey's post-hoc tests (α=5%). Teeth filled with the three sealers showed perceptible tooth discoloration (ΔE≥2.7) in 1 week, maintaining similar values over time. There was a significant difference between MF and SPB sealers in the 2mm-AD groups. In addition, 2mm-AD groups promoted significantly lower discoloration than DC groups for AH (3 months) and SPB (1 and 3 months) sealer,s. Teeth filled with AP, MF, and SPB sealers displayed discoloration from 1 week to one year, with differences between MF and SPB sealers. A cervical limit of filling material at 2 mm from the dental cervix seems more advisable, promoting lower crown discoloration.


Resumo O presente estudo laboratorial teve como objetivo avaliar a influência do cimento endodôntico e do limite cervical da obturação radicular na alteração de cor de dentes tratados endodonticamente. Incisivos bovinos foram distribuídos aleatoriamente em seis grupos experimentais e um controle (n=21/grupo), de acordo com o cimento endodôntico utilizado [AH Plus (AP); MTA Fillapex (MF) e Sealer Plus BC (SPB)] e o limite cervical da obturação [Colo dentário (CD) ou 2mm na direção apical (2mm-DA)]. A alteração de cor (ΔE) foi avaliada por um espectofotômetro digital usando o método CIED2000. As avaliações de cor foram realizadas imediatamente antes (baseline), 1 semana, 1, 3, 6 meses e 1 ano após a obturação. Os dados foram analisados pelos testes ANOVA e post-hoc de Tuckey (α=5%). Dentes obturados com os três cimentos apresentaram alteração de cor perceptível (ΔE≥2.7) em 1 semana, mantendo valores semelhantes ao longo do tempo. Houve uma diferença significativa entre os cimentos MF e SPB nos grupos 2mm-DA. Além disso, os grupos 2mm-DA promoveram uma alteração de cor significativamente menor do que o grupos CD para os cimentos AH (3 meses) e SPB (1 e 3 meses). Os dentes obturados com os cimentos AH, MF e SPB apresentaram alteração de cor entre 1 semana a um ano, com diferenças entre os cimentos MF e SPB. O limite cervical do material obturador a 2mm do colo dentário parece mais aconselhável, promovendo menor alteração de cor da coroa dentária.

ABSTRACT

Abstract The aim of this study was to compare the influence of endodontic sealers artifacts on the detection of vertical root fracture in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Premolars and central incisors were assigned into five different groups: Control, Pulp Canal Sealer, AH Plus, Sealer 26, and BC Sealer (n= 10, per group). VRFs were mechanically induced and the teeth were inserted into an image phantom. Subsequently, CBCT (Cranex 3Dx, Soredex, Tuusula, Finland) images were obtained and two observers were asked separately to identify root fracture, by visual analysis. For both premolar and central incisors, kappa coefficients of intraobserver agreement varied from good to excellent (K: 80% - 87%), and the values for interobserver agreement varied from fair to moderate (K: 30% - 35%). As follows, the area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) values for VRFs highlighted that the use of BC sealer reduced the observers' ability to discriminate VRFs relative to other sealers. Moreover, sensitivity values for premolars teeth ranged from 20% to 60%, and specificity ranged from 60% to 100%; while sensitivity values for central incisors ranged from 30% to 70%, and specificity ranged from 70% to 100%. In conclusion, the low sensitivity values, mainly for premolars, demonstrated the difficulty in VRF diagnosis. Furthermore, BC Sealer induced significantly more imaging artifacts than other sealers. These results highlighting that endodontic sealers may interfere with the diagnosis of VRFs.


Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar a influência dos artefatos de cimentos endodônticos na detecção de fratura radicular vertical (FRV) em tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico (TCFC). Pré-molares e incisivos centrais foram divididos em cinco grupos diferentes: Controle, Pulp Canal Sealer, AH Plus, Sealer 26 e BC Sealer (n = 10, por grupo). As FRVs foram induzidas mecanicamente e os dentes inseridos em uma réplica da mandibula humana. Posteriormente, imagens de TCFC (Cranex 3Dx, Soredex, Tuusula, Finlândia) foram obtidas e dois observadores foram solicitados a identificar fratura radicular separadamente, o critério utilizado foi a análise visual. Tanto para pré-molares quanto para incisivos centrais, os coeficientes kappa de concordância intraobservador variaram de bom a excelente (K: 80% - 87%), e os valores de concordância interobservador variaram de regular a moderado (K: 30% - 35%). A seguir, a área sob a curva (AUC) dos valores da característica de operação do receptor (ROC) para FRVs destacou que o uso do cimento BC Sealer reduziu a capacidade dos observadores de discriminar FRVs em relação a outros cimentos endodônticos. Além disso, os valores de sensibilidade para pré-molares variaram de 20% a 60%, e a especificidade variou de 60% a 100%; enquanto os valores de sensibilidade para incisivos centrais variaram de 30% a 70%, e a especificidade variou de 70% a 100%. Em conclusão, os baixos valores de sensibilidade, principalmente para pré-molares, demonstraram uma dificuldade no diagnóstico de FRV. Além disso, o BC Sealer induziu significativamente mais artefatos de imagem do que outros cimentos. Esses resultados evidenciam que os cimentos endodônticos podem interferir no diagnóstico das FRVs.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: For a successful endodontic treatment, antimicrobial property of endodontic filing is mandatory. Hence, the aimof this in vitro study was to assess the antibacterial efficacy of three endodontic sealers on Enterococcus faecalis, Candidaalbicans, and Staphylococcus aureus by direct contact test (DCT).Materials and Methods: The antimicrobial efficacy of three different sealers, AH Plus, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA)Fillapex, and Endosequence BC was tested against E. faecalis ATCC 29212, C. albicans ATCC 10231 and S. aureus ATCC25923 by DCT. Freshly mixed sealers were placed in flat bottom test tubes incubated at 37°C. Thereafter, 10 μL of suspensionwas drawn and spread over cultural plates to determine the colony count using a digital colony counter. Readings were takenat 1 h (fresh specimen), then at 24 h (after setting). The results were tabulated and statistical analysis was done using oneway ANOVA and Tukey HSD test.Results: DCT showed a significant decrease in microbial count in AH Plus, MTA Fillapex, and Endoseq BC at both the timeintervals. Group 3 (Endosequence BC) showed minimum microbial count followed by Group 2 (MTA Fillapex) and maximumfor Group 1 (AH Plus) for both the time intervals (1 h and 24 h).Conclusion: Endosequence BC showed maximum antimicrobial efficacy against all the tested microorganisms for both thetime intervals, followed by MTA Fillapex and AH Plus.

ABSTRACT

Este estudo teve por finalidade avaliar a influência dos cimentos endodônticos com um protocolo de irrigação na resistência de união sobre a estrutura dentinária das paredes da câmara pulpar de dentes bovinos restaurados imediatamente e após 7 dias do tratamento endodôntico. Foram avaliados os cimentos endodônticos: Cimento à base de resina epoxy (AH Plus ­ Dentsply, DeTrey, Konstanz- Alemanha) e Cimento de óxido de zinco e eugenol (Endofill ­ Dentsply Ind.com. LTDA ­ Brasil). Para a realização das restaurações foi utilizado o sistema adesivo Single Bond 2® (3M/ESPE) e a resina composta Z 350TM (3M/ESPE). 60 faces vestibulares da câmara pulpar de dentes bovinos foram distribuídos aleatoriamente em 4 grupos experimentais (G1-AHPlus Imediato; G2-AHPlus Mediato; G3-OZE Imediato; G4-OZE Mediato) e 2 controles (G5- NaOCl + EDTA Imediato e G6-NaOCl + EDTA Mediato). O protocolo de irrigação endodôntica deu-se através da imersão dos espécimes em solução de hipoclorito de sódio a 2.5% por 30 minutos e em EDTA 17% por 3 minutos. Os cimentos testados estiveram em contato com a parede dentinária pelo tempo de presa inicial, seguido de limpeza com algodão embebido em álcool 70% por 1 minuto. Os grupos experimentais de restauração mediata foram mantidos em estufa a 37ºC por 7 dias. Após o corte e a obtenção dos palitos de +/-1,0 mm² foi aplicado o teste de microtração na Máquina de Ensaios Universal e, em seguida, observados em microscópio óptico para classificação da fratura. Os valores da resistência de união foram submetidos ao teste não-paramétrico Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney comparando dois a dois grupos a um nível de significância de 5%. Os resultados mostraram que o grupo G5 obteve menor valor de resistência de união, com diferença estatisticamente significativa (p<0,05) para os demais. O padrão de fratura mais observado nos grupos foi a coesiva em camada híbrida. Conclui-se que a associação NaOCl + EDTA diminui a resistência de união nas restaurações imediatas e que os cimentos endodônticos não alteraram a resistência de união nos períodos testados (AU).


This study aimed to evaluate the influence of endodontic sealer with an irrigation protocol on the bond strength on the dentinal structure of the pulp chamber walls of bovine teeth restored immediately and after 7 days of endodontic treatment. Endodontic sealer were evaluated: epoxy resin-based sealer (AH Plus - Dentsply, DeTrey, Konstanz- Germany) and zinc oxide and eugenol sealer (Endofill - Dentsply Ind.com. LTDA - Brazil). To perform the restorations, the Single Bond 2® adhesive system (3M / ESPE) and the composite resin Z 350TM (3M / ESPE) were used. 60 vestibular faces of the pulp chamber of bovine teeth were randomly assigned to 4 experimental groups (G1-AHPlus Immediate; G2-AHPlus Mediato; G3-OZE Immediate; G4-OZE Mediato) and 2 controls (G5- NaOCl + EDTA Immediate and G6- NaOCl + EDTA Mediato). The endodontic irrigation protocol was carried out by immersing the specimens in 2.5% sodium hypochlorite solution for 30 minutes and in 17% EDTA for 3 minutes. The tested sealers were in contact with the dentin wall for the initial setting time, followed by cleaning with cotton soaked in 70% alcohol for 1 minute. The experimental groups of mediated restoration were kept in an oven at 37ºC for 7 days. After cutting and obtaining the +/- 1.0 mm² toothpicks, the microtensile test was applied to the Universal Testing Machine and then observed under an optical microscope to classify the fracture. The bond strength values were subjected to the non-parametric Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test comparing two to two groups at a significance level of 5%. The results showed that the G5 group had a lower bond strength value, with a statistically significant difference (p <0.05) for the others. The most observed fracture pattern in the groups was cohesive in a hybrid layer. It is concluded that the association NaOCl + EDTA decreases the bond strength in immediate restorations and that endodontic sealer did not change the bond strength in the tested periods (AU).

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: avaliar o efeito do uso de hipoclorito de cálcio (Ca(OCl)2) como irrigante na resistência de adesão do cimento AH Plus (De Trey-Dentsply, Konstanz, Alemanha) à dentina pelo teste de micro push-out. Materiais e método: trinta e três dentes humanos monorradiculares foram seccionados transversalmente na junção amelocementária e divididos em três grupos: hipoclorito de sódio (NaOCl) 2,5%, hipoclorito de cálcio 2,5% e soro fisiológico. Os canais foram preparados, irrigados ao final com EDTA 17% e obturados com cones de guta percha e cimento AH Plus. Após armazenagem por 7 dias, em 100% de umidade e a 37°C, os dentes foram seccionados transversalmente ao longo do eixo da raiz. Foram obtidas três fatias de cada dente (n=33), que foram submetidas ao ensaio de push-out. O tipo de falha foi analisado por fractografia e classificado em falha adesiva, coesiva ou mista. Os valores de resistência de união foram analisados pelo teste de Kruskal-Wallis, com nível de significância de 95%. Resultados: o grupo Ca(OCl)2 2,5% apresentou a menor média de resistência de adesão, diferindo estatisticamente do NaOCl e do soro fisiológico (p<0,05). Não houve diferença estatística entre os grupos irrigados com soro e NaOCl (p>0,05). Conclusões: a falha predominante em todos os grupos foi a do tipo adesiva. O Ca(OCl)2 2,5% teve um efeito negativo sobre a força de adesão do AH Plus à dentina radicular quando comparado ao NaOCl 2,5%. (AU)


Objective: to evaluate the effect of calcium hypochlorite (Ca(OCl)2) as an irrigant on the bond strength of the AH Plus sealer (De Trey-Dentsply, Konstanz, Germany) to dentin, using the micro push-out test. Materials and method: thirty-three single-rooted human teeth were cross-sectioned on the cementoenamel junction and divided into three groups: 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (Na- OCl), 2.5% calcium hypochlorite, and saline solution. The canals were prepared, irrigated with 17% EDTA at the end, and filled with gutta-percha cones and AH Plus sealer. After being stored for seven days at 100% humidity and 37ºC, the teeth were cross-sectioned along the root axis. Three slices of each tooth (n=33) were obtained and subjected to the push-out test. Failure mode was analyzed by fractography and classified as adhesive, cohesive, or mixed. Bond strength values were analyzed by the Kruskall-Wallis test at 95% significance level. Results: the 2.5% Ca(OCl)2 group showed the lowest bond strength mean, differing statistically from 2.5% NaOCl and saline solution (p<0.05). There was no statistical difference between the groups irrigated with saline solution and NaOCl (p>0.05). Conclusion: the adhesive failure was predominant in all groups. The 2.5% Ca(OCl)2 had a negative effect on the bond strength of AH Plus to the root dentin when compared to 2.5% NaOCl. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Existen diversos materiales de retroobturación, pero poco se sabe de su toxicidad sobre fibroblastos gingivales. Objetivo: Evaluar la citotoxicidad de tres materiales de retroobturación sobre fibroblastos gingivales humanos y fibroblastos de la línea L929. Material y métodos: Los medios condicionados de los materiales de retroobturación EndoSequence® BC RRMTM (ERRM), trióxido mineral agregado MTA Angelus® blanco (MTA) y material de restauración intermedia (IRM®) se obtuvieron en fresco, al tiempo de fraguado, y después de 1, 24 y 72 horas del tiempo de fraguado. La morfología celular fue evaluada por microscopia de luz y la viabilidad celular fue evaluada a través de la actividad metabólica mitocondrial con 3-(4,5-dimetiltiazol-2-il)-2,5-difenil bromuro de tetrazolio (MTT). El análisis estadístico se realizó por ANOVA. Resultados: El material ERRM no mostró efectos citotóxicos sobre los fibroblastos. Sin embargo, el MTA y el IRM® mostraron citotoxicidad moderada y alta, respectivamente. Esto revela que el MTA y el IRM® no son completamente inocuos. Conclusión: Los materiales biocerámicos como el ERRM pueden ser considerados los materiales de retroobturación más biocompatibles.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: Recently, bioceramic sealers like EndoSequence BC Sealer (BC Sealer) have been introduced and are being used in endodontic practice. However, this sealer has limited research related to its retreatability. Hence, the aim of this study was to evaluate the retreatability of two sealers, BC Sealer as compared with AH Plus using micro-computed tomographic (micro-CT) analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty-six extracted human maxillary incisors were instrumented and randomly divided into 4 groups of 14 teeth: 1A, gutta-percha, AH Plus retreated with chloroform; 1B, gutta-percha, AH Plus retreated without chloroform; 2A, gutta-percha, EndoSequence BC Sealer retreated with chloroform; 2B, gutta-percha, EndoSequence BC Sealer retreated without chloroform. Micro-CT scans were taken before and after obturation and retreatment and analyzed for the volume of residual material. The specimens were longitudinally sectioned and digitized images were taken with the dental operating microscope. Data was analyzed using an ANOVA and a post-hoc Tukey test. Fisher exact tests were performed to analyze the ability to regain patency. RESULTS: There was significantly less residual root canal filling material in the AH Plus groups retreated with chloroform as compared to the others. The BC Sealer samples retreated with chloroform had better results than those retreated without chloroform. Furthermore, patency could be re-established in only 14% of teeth in the BC Sealer without chloroform group. CONCLUSION: The results of this study demonstrate that the BC Sealer group had significantly more residual filling material than the AH Plus group regardless of whether or not both sealers were retreated with chloroform.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Satisfactory biological behavior is a necessary requirement for clinical application of endodontic materials. In this study, the connective tissue responses to silicone (GuttaFlow 2), epoxy resin (AH Plus) and zinc oxide and eugenol (Endofill) based sealers were compared. Twelve Wistar rats had polyethylene tubes (four per animal) containing one of the tested sealers and empty tubes (negative control) implanted in their subcutaneous tissue. The tubes were randomly placed 2 cm from the spine and at least 2 cm apart from one another. Tissue samples with implants were processed for histological analysis after 7 or 60 days (n=6 animals per period). Inflammatory cells, fibrous condensation and abscess were scored according to their intensity. Friedman, followed by Dunn's post hoc, was used to compare sealers. Differences between the two experimental periods were verified using Mann-Witney U test (p<0.05). At 7 days, most of the histological parameters showed no significant differences amongst groups. Endofill group scored higher than the others for giant cells (o<0.05) and promoted a greater number of samples presenting abscess formation. GuttaFlow 2 tended to show a less intense inflammatory infiltrate compared to the other materials. At 60 days, there were no significant differences between groups in most of the histological parameters evaluated. However, it was observed that Endofill scored higher for macrophages (p<0.05) compared to the control group, and GuttaFlow 2 tended to present lower scores than the others for neutrophils and abscess. GuttaFlow 2 showed proper biological behavior and should be considered adequate for clinical practice.


Resumo Um dos requisistos para a aplicação clínica de materiais endodônticos é apresentar comportamento biológico satisfatório. Neste estudo, as respostas do tecido conjuntivo a cimentos endodônticos à base de silicone (GuttaFlow 2), resina epóxica (AH Plus) e óxido de zinco e eugenol (Endofill) foram comparadas. Doze ratos Wistar tiveram tubos de polietileno (4 em cada animal) contendo um dos materiais e tubos vazios (controle negativo) implantados no tecido conjuntivo subcutâneo. Os tubos foram randomicamente posicionados pelo menos 2 cm distantes entre si e da espinha dorsal do animal. Amostras de tecido contendo os implantes foram processadas para análise histológica após 7 e 60 dias (n=6 animais por período). Células inflamatórias, condensação fibrosa e formação de abscesso foram classificadas em escores de acordo com sua intensidade. O teste Friedman, seguido por post hoc de Dunn, foi empregado para comparar os cimentos. O teste de Mann-Witney U foi empregado para verificar diferenças entre os períodos experimentais em cada grupo (p<0,05). Após 7 dias, a maior parte dos parâmetros histológicos não mostrou diferenças estatísticas entre os grupos. O cimento Endofill promoveu escores mais altos que os outros materiais para a variável células gigantes (p<0,05), além de apresentar um maior número de amostras com formação de abscesso. O GuttaFlow 2 tendeu a apresentar infiltrado inflamatório menos intenso comparado aos outros materiais. Após 60 dias, não houve diferenças estatisticamente significantes entre os grupos na maioria dos parâmetros avaliados. Entretanto, observou-se que o EndoFill apresentou escores mais altos para os macrófagos em comparação ao controle (p<0,05) e que o GuttaFlow 2 apresentou tendência a escores mais baixos que os demais materiais para as variáveis neutrófilos e abscesso. O GuttaFlow 2 apresentou propriedades biológicas apropriadas e pode ser considerado adequado para a prática clínica.

Conclusão: todos os cimentos testados apresentaram bom escoamento e extravasamento para obturação do sistema de canais radiculares. O Pulp Canal Sealer® obteve maior porcentagem e média de escoamento, obturando os canais cervicais, médios e apicais. O Endomethasone® apresentou menor porcentagem de escoamento e o AH Plus®, a menor média de escoamento em milímetros quando avaliados os canais apicais. (AU)


Introduction: In Endodontics, the search for long-term clinical success depends on the knowledge of properties of several dental materials. Aim: To evaluate the flow and extravasation of endodontic sealers inside of channels made with resin blocks (IM Brazil LTDA). Five endodontic sealers were tested (AH Plus, Pulp Canal Sealer, Endomethasone, Sealer 26 and Endofill). Material and Methods: For the in vitro study, we used 20 transparent blocks of simulated channels, where each block had 3 channels: cervical, middle and apical. The Edomethasone sealer presented a smaller percentage of flow (66.67%) compared to the others. With regard to extravasation, cervical channels of Endomethasone (50%) and Endofill (50%) groups showed the highest percentage of extravasation. Conclusions: All tested endodontic sealers had good flow and extravasation. The Pulp Canal Sealer was the one that had the highest percentage of average flow. The sealer Endomethasone presented the lowest percentage of flow and AH Plus the lowest average flow in millimeters when evaluated apical channels. (AU)

ABSTRACT

El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar in vitro la respuesta de fibroblastos gingivales contra diferentes selladores endodónticos mediante cultivos celulares, en un lapso de 96 horas. Los resultados obtenidos a intervalos de tiempo de 0, 1, 2, 3, 6, 24, 48, 72 y 96 horas fueron utilizados para determinar la citotoxicidad de los selladores. Cultivos de fibroblastos gingivales sin ningún sellador y con Sealapex fueron utilizados como controles positivos y negativos respectivamente. Los resultados fueron comparados con los controles negativos y analizados estadísticamente por medio de la prueba t Dunnett (p ≤ 0.05). Los cementos selladores investigados fueron: ProRoot MTA gris y blanco CPM, MTA Angelus, Sealapex y GuttaFlow. Los resultados demostraron que a pesar de que el ProRoot MTA (gris y blanco) MTA Angelus, CPM y GuttaFlow demostraron tener un potencial citotóxico menor que el Sealapex, no se encontraron diferencias estadísticas significativas.


The aim of the present study was the in vitro evaluation of the response, within 96 hours, of gingival fibroblast cultures with respect to different endodontic sealers. Results obtained at time intervals of 0, 1, 2, 3, 6, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours were used to determine sealers' cytotoxicity. Gingival fibroblasts cultures without root canal sealer and with Sealapex were used as negative and positive controls respectively. Results were compared with negative controls and statistically analyzed with t Dunnett test (p ≤ 0.05). Assessed sealing cements were: ProRoot MTA, grey and white, CPM, MTA Angelus, Sealapex and GuttaFlow. Results showed that even though ProRoot MTA (grey and white) MTA Angelus, CPM and GuttaFlow exhibited lower cytotoxic potential than Sealapex, no statistical significant differences were established.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: todas as fases do tratamento endodôntico são muito importantes e interdependentes. A obturação do canal radicular, após o preparo biomecânico, é a etapa fundamental e determinante no sucesso do tratamento endodôntico convencional. A adesão do cimento obturador tanto à guta-percha quanto a dentina é desejável para o estabelecimento de melhor selamento apical, após a obturação endodôntica Objetivo: o objetivo do presente trabalho foi comparara radiopacidade de três cimentos endodônticos: Endofill, FillApex associado a 20 por cento de hidróxido de cálcio e Sealer 26. Metodologia: o ensaio de radiopacidade seguiu a norma ISSO 6876:2001, onde foram confeccionados corpos de prova cilíndricos com os cimentos em teste e cilindros de dentina de contendo a mesma espessura. Todos os cimentos foram devidamente proporcionados e espatulados conforme orientação do fabricante e inseridos em anéis metálicos com 10 mm de diâmetro e 1 mm de altura, conservados à temperatura de 37ºC. Após presa dos cimentos, as placas foram retiradas e as espessuras dos corpos de prova conferidas com paquímetro manual. Os corpos de prova, os cilindros de dentina e o penetrômetro foram dispostos sobre filme oclusal insight Kodak E, onde foram sensibilizados com um aparelho de raios-X. Após o processamento das películas, as imagens foram digitalizadas e analisadas quanto à densidade radiográfica no programa Digora 1.51. Resultados: os resultados mostraram que o Sealer 26 apresentou os maiores valores de radiopacidade, seguido do EndoFill, e o que apresentou menor densidade de radiopacidade foi o FillApex (P < 0,05). Conclusão: todos os cimentos analisados apresentaram valores acima dos recomendados pelas normas da ISO e da dentina, sendo o Sealer 26 o que obteve melhor desempenho nesse estudo.


Introduction: all stages of the endodontic treatment are very important and interdependent. The root canal filling after biomechanical preparation is a fundamental and crucial step to the success of conventional endodontic treatment. The adhesion of the sealer both the gutta-percha as the dentin is desirable to establish better apical seal after endodontic treatment. Objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the radiopacity of three endodontic sealers: Endofill, FillApex associated on 20 pe cent calcium hidoxydeand Sealer 26. Methods: The test of radiopacity followed the ISO 2001: 6876, where specimens were made with cylindrical test and cements in dentin of cylinders containing the same thickness. All the endodontic sealers were manipulated according to manufacturer's instruction. Cylindrical samples were fabricated from each material by pouring the manipulated cements into metallic rings measuring 10 mm in diameter by 1 mm thick according ISO 6876 specifications. The filled rings were kept at 37°C until cements were completely set. The specimens were then removed, and the thickness was checked with a manual caliper. All the cement and dentin specimens were placed on occlusal films along an aluminum step-wedge graduated from 2 to 16 mm Al. Radiographs were taken using a radiographic unit. After processing of the film, the images have been scanned and analyzed on the radiographic density in Digora 1.51. Results: the results showed that the Sealer 26 presented the highest values of radiopacity, followed by the EndoFill, and that showed lower radiopacity than FillApex. Conclusion: all cements analyzed have reported values above those recommended by ISO standards and dentin, being the Sealer 26 what got better performance in this study.

ABSTRACT

Objective : The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of endodontic sealers against microorganisms. Materials and Methods : The agar diffusion method was used. A double base layer of Mueller Hinton agar was done. The microorganisms used were: Candida albicans, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The wells were obtained by removing a standardized portion of the agar. After the distribution of the sealers, Petri plates were incubated for 24 h. Inhibition halos formed around the wells were measured. Results : Epiphany did not show any antimicrobial activity on the tested microorganisms (without inhibition halo). The AH Plus showed the greatest inhibition halo on C. albicans followed by EndoREZ on S. aureus. EndoREZ also showed greater inhibition halo in comparison to AH Plus on E. faecalis and E. coli. Conclusion : It could be concluded that AH Plus and EndoREZ showed antimicrobial activity against all the tested microorganisms. No antimicrobial activity was observed for Epiphany.

ABSTRACT

Este estudo foi dividido em dois capítulos, tendo como objetivo comparar, através do teste de push-out, a resistência de união do cimento MTA Fillapex (Angelus, Londrina, PR, BR), Sealapex (SybronEndo, Orange, CA, USA) e AH Plus (Dentsply De Trey Gmbh , Konstanz, GE) às paredes do canal radicular de dentes humanos extraídos, após o uso prévio de três tipos de medicação intracanal contendo hidróxido de cálcio: Calen (SS White, São Paulo, SP, BR), Pasta HPG (hidróxido de cálcio, paramonoclorofenol canforado e glicerina) e Ca(OH)2 + água (hidróxido de cálcio + água). Foram utilizados 60 dentes unirradiculares, que tiveram suas coroas seccionadas na junção amelocementária. As raízes foram incluídas em resina epóxi e cortadas transversalmente em fatias de 2 mm dos terços cervical, médio e apical das raízes. Em seguida, utilizando uma fresa tronco-cônica acoplada em micromotor, devidamente adaptado em um delineador, os canais foram preparados, padronizados e submetidos à irrigação com o EDTA a 17%. No primeiro estudo (Capítulo 1), os espécimes foram divididos em seis grupos: G1- MTA Fillapex; G2-Sealapex; G3-AH Plus, após o uso prévio das respectivas medicações com hidróxido de cálcio, por 21 dias. Após este período, os espécimes foram irrigados com NaOCl a 2,5% e EDTA a 17%, sendo então preenchidos com um dos cimentos em estudo, mantendo os corpos de prova por 7 dias, a 37˚C e 95% de umidade. Nos grupos 4, 5 e 6 foram utilizados os mesmos cimentos, sem uso da medicação intracanal, respectivamente. No segundo estudo (Capítulo 2), os espécimes foram distribuídos por grupos e os canais radiculares obturados com: G1- MTA Fillapex e G2-Sealapex. Cada grupo foi subdividido em três sub-grupos, em função da associação da medicação intracanal com hidróxido de cálcio previamente empregada: A - sem medicação; B - Ca(OH)2 + água destilada e C - Ca(OH)2 + glicerina/paramonoclorofenol canforado. Nos estudos dos dois capítulos, após 7 dias da obturação, os espécimes foram submetidos ao teste de push-out em máquina de ensaio mecânico. Os dados foram submetidos ao teste ANOVA e Tukey (α = 5). O tipo de falha foi analisado em estereomicroscópio (S8APO; Leica Microsystems, Wetzlar, Germany) com aumento de 20X, para avaliação do padrão de fratura: adesiva, coesiva ou mista. No primeiro estudo, o AH Plus apresentou maior resistência de união que os demais cimentos, independentemente do terço radicular (P < 0,05) e nos terços cervical e apical, a medicação intracanal interferiu negativamente (P < 0,05). O MTA Fillapex e Sealapex apresentaram resultados similares, independentemente do terço radicular (P > 0,05) e a medicação intracanal não interferiu na adesão. Entre os grupos houve diferente incidência de tipo de fratura. A adesão do AH Plus foi superior a do MTA Fillapex e Sealapex, que não diferiram entre si. O hidróxido de cálcio interferiu negativamente apenas na adesão do AH Plus, nos terços cervical e apical radicular. A fratura mista e adesiva foi mais frequente para o AH Plus e MTA Fillapex, respectivamente. No segundo estudo, a adesão proporcionada pelo MTA Fillapex foi afetada negativamente pelas associações somente no terço cervical (p < 0,05), sendo a fratura adesiva a de maior ocorrência. A resistência de união do Sealapex na dentina sofreu interferência negativa da combinação com água destilada nos terços médio e apical (p < 0,05), ocorrendo maior incidência de fratura adesiva. A associação glicerina/paramonoclorofenol canforado interferiu negativamente apenas no terço apical (p < 0,05), com similares padrões de fratura adesiva e mista. A composição dos resíduos da medicação intracanal com hidróxido de cálcio interfere na resistência de adesão dos cimentos MTA Fillapex e Sealapex, dependendo do terço radicular avaliado


The aim of this study, divided in two chapters, was to evaluate and to compare the push-out bond strength of three root canal sealers to the root canal walls of human extracted teeth: MTA Fillapex (Angelus, Londrina, PR, BR), Sealapex (SybronEndo, Orange, CA, USA) and AH Plus (Dentsply De Trey Gmbh, Konstanz, GE), after the previous use with three calcium hydroxide compositions with intracanal medication: Calen (SS White, São Paulo, SP, BR), HPG paste (Calcium hydroxide, Paramonoclorofenol canforado and Glycerin) and Calcium hydroxide with water paste. Sixty unirradicular teeth were sectioned transversally below the cement-enamel junction. The roots were included in epoxy resin and cut transversally, obtained 2 mm-thick cross-section slices of cervical, middle and apical radicular thirds. In sequence, using a conic drill adjusted in a low electric piece adapted in a pararelometer , the canals were prepared, standardized and submitted to irrigation with EDTA to 17%. In the first study (Chapter 1), the specimens were divided into six groups: G1-MTA Fillapex; G2-Sealapex; G3-OH Plus, after the prior use of calcium hydroxide intracanal medication, by 21 days. After, were irrigated with the 2.5% NaOCl and then filled with one of the materials, stored at 37˚C, for 7 days and 95% of relative humidity. In groups 4, 5 and 6 were used the same cement, without intracanal medication, respectively. In the second study (Chapter 2), the specimens weredivided and the canals obturated with: G1- Fillapex MTA and G2-Sealapex. Each group was subdivided into three sub-groups, depending of the calcium hydroxide intracanal medication composition, previously used: A-without medication; B- distilled water and C- Glycerin/camphorate paramonochlorophenol . After 7 days, the specimens were submitted to the push-out test in mechanical testing machine. The data were analyzed with ANOVA and Tukey test (α = 5%). In sequence,the specimems were analyzed in stereomicroscope (S8APO; Leica Microsystems, Wetzlar, Germany) with increase of 20X, to evaluation of failure modes: adhesive, cohesive or mixed. In the first study, the bond strength of AH Plus presented greater values then the other cements, regardless of the radicular third (P < 0,05), and in cervical and apical thirds intracanal medication interfere negatively (P < 0,05). The MTA Fillapex and Sealapex showed similar results, regardless of the radicular third (P > 0,05) and the intracanal medication did not interfere in the bond strength. Among the groups there was different type of failure modes. The bond strength of AH Plus was higher then MTA Fillapex and Sealapex, that not differed amongst themselves. Calcium hydroxide interfered negatively only in the bond strength of AH Plus, in cervical and apical radicular thirds. Mixed and adhesive fracture was more frequent for AH Plus and MTA Fillapex, respectively. In the second study, the bond strength provided by MTA Fillapex was affected negatively only in the cervical third associations (p < 0,05), being the adhesive fracture the greater occurrence. The bond strength of Sealapex in dentin suffered negative interference of distilled water combination in the middle and apical thirds (p < 0,05), occurring higher incidence of adhesive fracture. Glycerin/camphorate paramonochlorophenol interfered negatively only in the apical third (p < 0,05), with similar adhesive and mixed failure modes. The composition of the calcium hydroxide intracanal medication interferes in the bond strength of MTA Fillapex and Sealapex cements depending on the root third evaluated

ABSTRACT

El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el comportamiento biológico de los cementos endodónticos Endofill, Endomethasone y Sealer 26, en tejido conjuntivo subcutáneo de ratones. Fueron establecidos tres grupos experimentales y un grupo control de cinco animales cada uno, en los períodos de 7, 21 y 60 días. Los cortes histológicos obtenidos fueron coloreados con Hematoxilina & Eosina y con tricrómico de Masson, para posteriormente ser evaluadas la reacción inflamatoria adyacente y la formación de tejido fibroso. Los datos obtenidos fueron sometidos al test estadístico de Kruskall-Wallis y Miller con 5% de nivel de significancia. El análisis microscópico mostró reacción inflamatoria más intensa en los períodos de 7 y 21días. A los 60 días hubo formación de una cápsula fibrosa densa para el cemento Endomethasone y parcialmente densa para los demás cementos. El análisis estadístico mostró diferencia estadísticamente significativa con mayor intensidad de reacción inflamatoria solamente para el grupo II (Endofill) en el período de 60 días en relación a los grupos I (control) y grupo III (Endomethasone). Todos los materiales presentaron reacción inflamatoria más intensa en los períodos inicial e intermediario, siendo que la Endomethasone presentó los mejores resultados.


The aim of this study was to evaluate the biological behavior of the root canal filling sealers: Endofill, Endomethasone and Sealer 26 when in contact with the subcutaneous connective tissue of rat. For the study one control and three experimental groups were used. A total of 15 animals were divided into 5 for each period: 7, 21, and 60 days. The obtained histological sections were processed and stained using the hematoxiline & eosine technique. The histological sections were subjective and comparatively analyzed using optic microscopy. The intensity of the inflammatory reaction and the level of fibrosis of the tissue were registered. The results were registered in scores and statistical analysis by KRUSKAL-WALLIS p<0,05 and MILLER methods. The statistical analysis revealed that in the period of 60 days, there was statistical significance to group II (Endofill) between group (control) and III (Endomethasone) with mononuclear cells into connective tissue. All materials promoted inflammatory reaction more intense at 7 and 21 days with the Endomethasone showing the best results.

ABSTRACT

The aims of this study were to evaluate the ratio between inflammatory reactions induced by four endodontic sealers and the occurrence of fibrosis and the number of myofibroblasts with positivity to α-smooth-actin muscle (α-SMA). Polyethylene tubes were filled with a root canal sealer (Endofill, AH Plus, Acroseal and Epiphany) and inserted into 4 site at the dorsal region of 24 Wistar rats; 2 empty tubes (control) were grafted in 6 rats. After 7, 21, and 45 days, 8 animals were euthanized, providing 6 specimens per test group and 2 specimens from the control group. The fragments were subjected to histological processing and immunohistochemical analysis for anti α-SMA protein. All specimens, except those from the control group, presented severe inflammatory reaction on the 7th postoperative day, which also coincided with a large number of myofibroblasts. On the 21st and 45th days post-surgery, the inflammatory reaction induced by Endofill, AH Plus and Acroseal decreased significantly, which coincided with reduced presence of myofibroblasts and usual collagen deposition. In contrast, in the group filled with Epiphany, significant inflammatory cell infiltrate was present in all analyzed periods. The persistence of an inflammatory reaction induced by endodontic sealer may also induce the development of fibrosis in combination with presence of myofibroblasts.


O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a relação entre reação inflamatória induzida por quatro cimentos endodônticos e a presença de fibrose e quantidade de miofibroblastos que apresentam positividade para α-SMA. Tubos de polietileno foram preenchidos com o cimento (I: Endofill; II: AH Plus; III: Acroseal; IV: Epiphany) e inseridos em 4 regiões do dorso de 24 ratos Wistar, enquanto 2 tubos vazios (V - controle) foram inseridos em 6 ratos. Após 7, 21 e 45 dias, oito animais foram sacrificados obtendo 6 indivíduos por grupo e 2 para o grupo controle. Os fragmentos foram submetidos ao processamento histológico e à análise imuno-histoquímica para a proteína anti-α-SMA. Todos os grupos, exceto o controle, demonstraram notável reação inflamatória no 7º dia pós-operatório, que também coincidiu com uma grande quantidade de miofibroblastos. No 21º e 45º dia pós-operatório, a reação inflamatória induzida pelo Endofill, AH Plus e Acroseal diminuiu significativamente, o que coincidiu com reduzida presença de miofibroblastos e deposição de colágeno normal. Em contraste, no grupo Epiphany, infiltrado inflamatório significativo esteve presente em todos os períodos analisados. A persistência do infiltrado inflamatório induzido por cimento endodôntico pode também provocar uma fibrose associada com a presença de miofibroblastos.

No Grupo I, as raízes tiveram seuscondutos inicialmente explorados com uma lima tipo K #15 e em seguida instrumentados até alima #35 pela técnica manual step-back. Durante o procedimento, os condutos foram irrigadoscom 1 ml de NaOCl a 1% a cada troca de instrumento. A obturação foi realizada com cimento deGrossman, pela técnica clássica. No Grupo II, o procedimento foi realizado utilizando-se o sistemarotatório ProfileTM. Os condutos também foram irrigados com 1 ml de NaOCl a 1% a cada trocade instrumento e obturados com cimento de Grossman, pela técnica clássica. Em seguida, efetuou-se um corte a 3 mm do ápice, obtendo-se corpos-de-prova com o mesmo comprimento, queforam levados ao microscópio óptico em aumento de 40 x para fotografia apical. As imagenscapturadas foram levadas a uma grade de integração elaborada especialmente para utilização emcomputador, permitindo analisar a área preenchida por guta-percha, cimento obturador e eventuaisespaços vazios. Os dados foram submetidos à análise estatística (Kruskal-Wallis), na qual foi verificado não haver diferença significante entre os grupos (p > 0,01). CONCLUSÃO: Concluiu-se que avariação no tipo de instrumentação dos condutos radiculares não promoveu deformação apical,não interferindo na obturação e no selamento hermético.


OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to evaluate in vitro the apical deformation using different types of instrumentation. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Ten roots of mandibular incisors randomly divided into two groups of 5 roots each (n = 5) were used in the study. The working length was establisher by subtracting 1.0 mm from tooth total length. Group I : manual instrumentation using K-files (step-back), up to a #35 file; obturation with the Grossman sealer using the classical technique. Group II: rotatory instrumentation using ProfileTM System, obturation with Grossman sealer using the classical technique. 1 mm of each root was weared perpendicular to the long axis of the root exposing the obturation. The root end preparations were examined by optic microscope (40 x), coupled to a computer where the imagens were recorded. A grid was placed over to evaluate the guttapercha area, sealer area, and empty spaces. The sealer area and empty spaces were interpreted as suggestive of apical deformation. RESULTS: The data were submitted to nonparametric statistical analysis (Kruskal-Wallis), showing no statistical differences (p > 0.01) between Groups I and II.

ABSTRACT

Aim : Evaluate in vitro the intratubular penetration and permeability of endodontic sealers in teeth contaminated with Enterococcus faecalis. Materials and Methods : Human canines were filled with AHPlus® , Endo CPM-sealer® or EndoRez® sealers. To evaluate permeability, the coronary portion of each tooth was contaminated with E. faecalis, then the apical portion was immersed in brain heart infusion (BHI) broth, and medium turbidity was observed for thirty days. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to evaluate the intratubular penetration of each sealer at the cervical, middle, and apical thirds of the tooth. Results : Only one tooth from the Endo CPM-sealer® group presented broth contamination. EndoRez® showed increased intratubular penetration compared to AHPlus® and Endo CPM-sealer® . Conclusions : Endo CPM-sealer® showed greater permeability to E. faecalis and EndoRez® showed increased intratubular penetration.

ABSTRACT

This study evaluated the dimensional alterations and the solubility of two experimental endodontic sealers based on Copaifera multijuga oil-resin (Biosealer) and castor oil bean cement (Poliquil), maintained in different storage solutions. Twenty specimens (3 mm diameter and 2 mm height) of each sealer were assigned to 2 groups (n=10) according to the storage solution: simulated tissue fluid (STF) or distilled water (DW). The specimens were stored in these solutions during 90 days, being removed every 30 days for weighting. The solutions were renewed every 15 days. The results were subjected to statistical analysis by Dunn's and Mann-Whitney tests (a=0.05). The solubility of Poliquil was higher in STF (38.4 ± 36.0) than in DW (28.4 ± 15.0), while Biosealer showed higher solubility in DW (34.61 ± 6.0) than in STF (18.59 ± 8.0). The storage solution influenced the behavior of sealers in relation to the weight variation (p=0.0001). Poliquil presented higher variation of weight independent of the solution (p=0.239). Biosealer also presented higher variation of weight regardless of the solution (p=0.0001). The solubility of Biosealer was different from that of Poliquil, but both sealers showed low solubility in STF. Under the tested conditions, neither of the materials were according to the ADA'S specification.


O presente estudo avaliou a alteração dimensional e solubilidade de 2 cimentos experimentais (à base de resina do óleo de Copaíba - Biosealer e cimento do polímero da mamona - Poliquil), mantidos em diferentes meios de armazenamento. Foram confeccionados 20 espécimes de cada cimento com 3 mm de diâmetro e 2 mm de altura os quais foram divididos em 2 grupos (n=10) de acordo com o meio de armazenamento (fluido tissular simulado ou água destilada). Os espécimes foram atidos nas soluções durante 90 dias, sendo removidos a cada 30 dias para pesagem das amostras, no entanto as soluções foram trocadas a cada 15 dias. Os resultados foram submetidos aos testes de Dunn (5 por cento) e Mann-Whitney. Os meios de armazenamento causaram influência no comportamento dos cimentos em relação ao peso (p=0,0001). Poliquil apresentou alta variação de peso independente da solução (p=0,239). Biosealer também apresentou alta variação de peso independente da solução (p=0,0001). A solubilidade do Biosealer foi diferente do Poliquil, entretanto, ambos cimentos mostraram baixa solubilidade no fluido tissular simulado. Nas condições do experimento, nenhum cimento está de acordo com a especificação da ADA.

ABSTRACT

Introdução e objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar in vitro a deformação apical em raízes de incisivos inferiores curvos com achatamento mesiodistal, variando-se o número de limas durante a instrumentação dos condutos radiculares. Material e métodos: Separaram-se 20 raízes aleatoriamente em dois grupos (n = 10). No grupo I, as raízes tiveram seus condutos inicialmente explorados com uma lima tipo K #15 e em seguida instrumentados até a lima #35 pela técnica step-back. Durante o procedimento, os condutos foram irrigados com 1 mL de NaOCl a 1% a cada troca de instrumento. A obturação foi realizada com cimento de Grossman pela técnica clássica. No grupo II, o procedimento foi semelhante ao do grupo I, mudando apenas o número de limas durante a modelagem. Nesse grupo o instrumento de memória foi o #40. Em seguida cada raiz sofreu um desgaste apical de 1 mm com o propósito de expor a obturação, e realizou-se um corte a 3 mm do ápice, obtendo-se corpos-de-prova com o mesmo comprimento, os quais foram levados ao microscópio óptico em aumento de 40 x para fotografia apical. Analisaram-se as imagens capturadas por meio do software Image Tool, e a área ocupada pelo cimento obturador, pela guta-percha e por eventuais espaços vazios foi quantificada. Resultados: Os dados foram submetidos a análise estatística, em que se verificou não haver diferença significante entre os grupos I e II (p > 0.05). Conclusão: A variação no número de limas durante a instrumentação dos condutos radiculares não promoveu deformação apical, causando um selamento hermético semelhante entre os grupos estudados.


Introduction and objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate in vitro the apical deformation in roots of crooked lower incisors with mesio-distal flattening, using a different number of files during the instrumentation. Material and methods: Twenty roots were randomly divided into two groups (n = 10). Group I: roots were initially instrumented with a K #15 file until a #35 file, through step-back technique. During instrumentation, the canals were irrigated with 1 mL of 1% NaOCl between every instrument change. Obturation was performed with Grossman sealer by lateral condensation technique. Group II: procedure was similar to group I, except for the files number, using file #40 as memory instrument. After that, each root was 1mm apical weared in order to reveal the filling. A 3 mm cut from the root apex was performed, resulting in samples with the same length, which were examined with an optical microscope (X40). The images captured by the Image Tool software were analyzed and the area occupied by sealer, gutta-percha and possible empty spaces was quantified. Results: Data was submitted to statistical analysis and showed no statistical significant differences between groups I and II (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The variation in the number of files during instrumentation did not promote apical deformation, but resulted in a similar hermetic sealing between the studied groups.
