ABSTRACT
This study evaluated the effect of 980-nm diode laser on apical microleakage and intraradicular dentin morphology. Roots of 110 mandibular incisors were used in the study 92 for microleakage test and 18 for scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Roots were randomly assigned to 3 groups according to the irrigating solution (water, NaOCl and NaOCl/EDTA) and were divided into 3 subgroups according to the laser irradiation protocol (without irradiation, irradiated at 1.5 W and irradiated at 3.0 W). Two specimens of each subgroup were prepared for SEM. The remaining roots were filled with AH Plus and gutta-percha. Apical leakage was assessed by ink penetration and data were analyzed statistically by ANOVA and Tukey-Krammer test (α=0.05). SEM analysis showed intensification of changes with increase of laser power as well as variations according to the irrigating solution. Modified smear layer was observed in specimens treated with water and irradiated with laser. Roots irrigated with NaOCl/EDTA had lower levels of infiltration (0.17 ± 0.18 mm) differing significantly (p<0.05) from those of roots irrigated with water (0.34 ± 0.30 mm), but similar (p>0.05) to those irrigated with NaOCl (0.28 ± 0.29 mm). Non-irradiated roots had lower levels of infiltration (0.10 ± 0.14 mm), differing (p<0.05) from those irradiated at 1.5 W (0.32 ± 0.22 mm) and 3.0 W (0.37 ± 0.32 mm). The 980 nm diode laser modified dentin morphology and increased apical microleakage.
RESUMO
Este estudo avaliou o efeito do laser de diodo 980 nm na microinfiltração apical e na morfologia intrarradicular da dentina. Raízes de 110 incisivos inferiores foram utilizadas no estudo 92 para o teste de microinfiltração e 18 para microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV). As raízes foram divididas em 3 grupos de acordo com a solução irrigante (água, NaOCl e NaOCl/EDTA) e subdivididas em 3 de acordo com a irradiação laser (sem irradiação, irradiados com 1,5 W e irradiados com 3,0 W). Duas amostras de cada subgrupo foram preparadas para MEV. As raízes restantes foram preenchidas com AH Plus e guta percha. A infiltração apical foi avaliada nas raízes por meio da penetração do corante e os dados foram analisados por ANOVA e teste de Tukey-Krammer (α=0,05). Os resultados da MEV mostraram intensificação das mudanças quando se aumentou a potência do laser e variações de acordo com a solução irrigadora. Camada de smear modificada foi observada em espécimes tratados com água e irradiados com laser. Raízes irrigadas com NaOCl/EDTA tiveram níveis menores de infiltração (0,17 ± 0,18 mm) estatisticamente diferente (p<0,05) das raízes irrigadas com água (0,34 ± 0,30 mm), mas semelhante (p>0,05) aos irrigados com NaOCl (0,28 ± 0,29 mm). As raízes não irradiadas tiveram níveis menores de infiltração (0,10 ± 0,14 mm), diferente (p<0,05) de 1,5 W (0,32 ± 0,22 mm) e 3.0 W (0,37 ± 0,32 mm). O laser de diodo 980 nm alterou a morfologia da dentina e aumentou a infiltração marginal apical.
