Microfiltración apical entre dos cementos de obturación: biocerámico y resinoso en premolares unirradiculares preparadas con protaper, y obturadas con condensación lateral / Apical microfiltration between two filling cements: bioceramic and resinous in unirradicular premolars prepared with protaper and sealed with lateral condensation

Resumen Objetivo: Comparar in vitro la microfiltración apical en premolares unirradiculares obturados con cemento a base de resina epóxica y cemento biocerámico. Método: 40 piezas dentales unirradiculares fueron seleccionadas y divididas en dos grupos para ser obturadas esperando el tiempo de fraguado de acuerdo con las instrucciones del fabricante. El grupo A se obturó con cemento biocerámico Endosequence y, el grupo B, con cemento a base de resina epóxica AH-Plus: posteriormente los dos grupos fueron sellados con barniz de uñas hasta 3mm de la parte apical, luego se colocaron las muestras en la incubadora a 37ºC. Ambos fueron sometidos a 750 ciclos de termociclado, para reproducir el ambiente parecido a la cavidad oral. Para análisis de microfiltración se utilizó el método de difusión del colorante, se sumergieron en azul de metileno al 2 % por 6 días, posteriormente los especímenes fueron sometidos en una bomba de vacío. Los dientes fueron cortados longitudinalmente para ser evaluadas mediante el estereomicroscopio. El análisis estadístico fue hecho mediante T-Student y Chi-Cuadrado. Resultados: El grupo A corresponde a Endosequence obtuvo una medida de 0,55mm y el grupo B corresponde a AH-Plus 1,20mm con un estimado de significancia de p=0,013. Conclusión: El análisis de ambos cementos de obturación demostró que Endosequence posee menor microfiltración apical que AH-Plus.

Abstract Aim: To compare in vitro by the stereomiscroscope the lesser apical microfiltration in uniradicular premolars, between the cement based on Epoxy Resin and Bioceramic cement. Method: The study was performed on 40 uniradicular dental pieces divided into two groups, the samples were prepared using the protaper system and the obturation was performed using the lateral condensation technique, the first group was sealed withEndosequence bioceramic cement and the second group with Cement based on AH-Plus epoxy resin, then sealed with nail varnish up to 3mm from the apical part, then the samples were placed in the incubator at 37ºC, waiting for the set time corresponding to each group according to the manufacturer's instructions . The two groups of the present study were submitted to 750 cycles of thermocycling, to provide an environment similar to the oral cavity, then longitudinal cuts were made to the samples. The microfiltration was evaluated using the dye diffusion method, immersed in 2% methylene blue for 6 days, then the specimens were subjected to a vacuum pump. The teeth were cut longitudinally to be evaluated by the stereomicroscope. The statistical analysis was through T-Student and Chi-Square. Results: Group A corresponds to Endosequence obtained a mean of 0,55mm and Group B corresponds to AH-Plus 1,20mm with an estimated significance of p = 0,013. Conclusion: Both obturation cements have significant differences, therefore Endosequence has less apical microfiltration than AHPlus.

Comparación in vitro del sellado apical entre dos sistemas de obturación termoplastificada: Guttacore y E&Q Master / In vitro comparison of the apical seal between two thermoplastic filling systems: Guttacore and E&Q Master

Objetivo: Comparar el sellado apical in vitro de los sistemas de obturación termoplastificada, GuttaCore® y E&Q Master®, desde la perspectiva de microfiltración. Métodos: Cuarenta piezas unirradiculares se instrumentaron con sistema rotatorio e irrigaron con hipoclorito de sodio al 2,5% y EDTA al 17%. Las muestras se dividieron en dos grupos (n=20); se obturaron y colocaron en estufa incubadora a 37°C y 100% de humedad durante 3 días. Cada muestra se cubrió con barniz de colores excepto 3 mm apicales para ser sumergidas en azul de metileno al 2% por 3 días, y centrifugados por 20 min a 3000 rpm. Las muestras se lavaron y fracturaron axialmente para su análisis, mediante fotografías, en el estereomicroscopio. Para el análisis de datos se utilizó la prueba t de Student con un nivel de significancia del 5%. Resultados: Los valores medios de microfiltración fueron 0,660 mm y 0,825 mm para GuttaCore® y E&Q Master®, respectivamente, no encontrándose diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre ellas (p=0,525). Conclusión: GuttaCore® y E&Q Master® son sistemas de obturación que ofrecen un buen sellado apical no existiendo diferencia entre ellos.

Objective: Compare in vitro the apical seal of thermoplastic filling systems, GuttaCore®and E&Q Master®, from the perspective of microfiltration. Methods: Forty single-rooted teeth were instrumented with rotary system and irrigated with 2.5% sodium hypochlorite and 17% EDTA. The samples were divided into two groups (20 for each system); sealed and placed in the incubator at 37°C and 100% humidity for 3 days. Each sample was covered with colored varnish except the last 3 apical millimiters to be immersed in 2% methylene blue for 3 days and centrifuged for 20 min at 3000 rpm. The samples were washed and fractured axially for their analysis in the stereomicroscope by means of photographs. For the data analysis we used the t Studenttest with a level of significance of 5%.Results: The mean microfiltration values were 0.660 mm and 0.825 mm for GuttaCore and E&Q Master respectively, no statistically significant differences were found between them (p=0.525). Conclusion: GuttaCore and E&Q Master are seal systems that offer good apical sealing, there is no difference between them. Keywords: EDTA; Gutta-Percha; Microfiltration; Sodium Hypochlorite.

Evaluation of the waveone gold and one shape new generation in reducing enterococcus faecalis from root canal

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the WaveOne Gold and One Shape New Generation systems regarding the bacterial removal from root canals infected with Enterococcus faecalis by comparing them to the conventional WaveOne and One Shape systems. Forty-eight distobuccal root canals of maxillary molars sterilized with ethylene oxide were infected with E. faecalis for 21 days, and then root canal initial bacterial sample was collected with paper cones and plated on M-enterococcus agar. The specimens were randomly divided into 4 groups according to the instrumentation: WaveOne Gold, One Shape New Generation, WaveOne and One Shape. After instrumentation, samples were collected with use of scraping and paper cones at immediate and 7 days after instrumentation. The bacterial reduction was calculated and then made intragroup analysis by Friedman test and intergroup analysis by Kruskal-Wallis with Dunn's post-hoc test, all at 5% significance. All techniques significantly reduced the number of bacteria in the root canal (p<0.05). WaveOne Gold and One Shape New Generation promoted higher bacterial reduction than WaveOne and One Shape systems (p<0.05), but no significant difference was found between WaveOne Gold and One Shape New Generation or between WaveOne and One Shape (p>0.05). Novel single-file systems promote better bacterial removal than the conventional single-file systems.

Resumo A proposta deste estudo foi avaliar os sistemas WaveOne Gold e One Shape New Generation em relação à remoção bacteriana de canais infectados com Enterococcus faecalis, comparando-os com seus sistemas convencionais WaveOne e One Shape. Quarenta e oito canais disto vestibulares de molares superiores esterilizados em óxido de etileno foram contaminados com E. faecalis por 21 dias, e então acoleta bacteriana inicial foi feita com cone de papel e plaqueadas em M-enterococcus agar. Os espécimes foram aleatoriamente divididos em quarto grupos de acordo com a instrumentação: WaveOne Gold, One Shape New Generation, WaveOne e One Shape. Após instrumentação, amostras foram coletadas utilizando limagem e cones de papel imediatamente e 7 dias após o preparo. A redução bacteriana foi calculada e então feita análise intra grupos com teste de Friedman, e entre grupos utilizando Kruskal-Wallis e teste de Dunn, todos a 5% de significância. Todas as técnicas reduziram significantemente o número de bactérias do canal radicular (p<0.05). WaveOne Gold e One Shape New Generation promoveram maior redução bacteriana que WaveOne e One Shape (p<0.05), mas nenhuma diferença significante foi encontrada entre WaveOne Gold e One Shape New Generation ou entre WaveOne e One Shape (p>0.05). Novos sistemas de lima-única promovem melhor remoção bacteriana que seus sistemas convencionais.
