ABSTRACT
Objective - To evaluate the effect of calcium hydroxide premedication on the apical seal of White MTA, placed as an apical barrier in permanent teeth with simulated immature apices. Furthermore, we intended to compare potential changes, under the influence of calcium hydroxide, in the apical seal of MTA over time. Methods - Thirty-four single-rooted extracted teeth were prepared in order to simulate a divergent open apex. Two experimental groups of 10 teeth were created group 1 (G1) and group 2 (G2) with and without calcium hydroxide intracanal medication previous to the placement of MTA apical plug. Two control groups, positive and negative, each with 7 teeth were created. On the 7th and on the 28th day after placement of the MTA apical plug, the apices of the teeth were submersed in a solution of sodium pertechnetate (99mTcO4Na) for 3 hours. The radioactivity was measured using a gamma camera. Results - Results revealed statistically significant differences between the 2 control groups and the 2 experimental groups with respect to the microleakage. Within the experimental groups no statistically significant differences were found; nor between the two observed periods. Conclusion - Based on the results obtained in this study, it was concluded that intracanal medication with calcium hydroxide did not affect the sealing ability of WMTA, placed as an apical plug, neither on the 7th, nor on the 28th day.
RESUMO
Objetivo - Avaliar o efeito do hidróxido de cálcio como medicação intracanal, no selamento apical do MTA branco, colocado como uma barreira apical em dentes permanentes com ápices imaturos simulados. Métodos - Trinta e quatro dentes unirradiculares extraídos foram preparados para simular um ápice aberto divergente. Foram separados em dois grupos experimentais (n=10) G1 e G2 com e sem medicação intracanal de hidróxido de cálcio antes da colocação do tampão apical com o MTA e dois grupos controle, positivos e negativos (n=7 em cada). Em 7 e 28 dias após a colocação do tampão apical de MTA, os ápices dos espécimes foram submersos em uma solução de pertecnetato de sódio (99mTcO4Na) por 3 horas. A radioatividade foi medida usando uma câmara gama. Resultados - Os resultados revelaram diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os grupos controle e os grupos experimentais com relação a microinfiltração. Não houve diferença entre os grupos experimentais nos dois períodos. Conclusão - Com base nos resultados obtidos neste estudo, concluiu-se que a medicação intracanal com hidróxido de cálcio não influenciou na capacidade seladora do MTA.
