Micro-computed tomography and bond strength analysis of different root canal filling techniques.
Article in English | IMSEAR | ID: sea-156543
ABSTRACT

Introduction:

The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality and bond strength of three root filling techniques (lateral compaction, continuous wave of condensation and Tagger’s Hybrid technique [THT]) using micro‑computed tomography (CT) images and push‑out tests, respectively. Materials and

Methods:

Thirty mandibular incisors were prepared using the same protocol and randomly divided into three groups (n = 10) Lateral condensation technique (LCT), continuous wave of condensation technique (CWCT), and THT. All specimens were filled with Gutta‑percha (GP) cones and AH Plus sealer. Five specimens of each group were randomly chosen for micro‑CT analysis and all of them were sectioned into 1 mm slices and subjected to push‑out tests.

Results:

Micro‑CT analysis revealed less empty spaces when GP was heated within the root canals in CWCT and THT when compared to LCT. Push‑out tests showed that LCT and THT had a significantly higher displacement resistance (P < 0.05) when compared to the CWCT. Bond strength was lower in apical and middle thirds than in the coronal thirds.

Conclusions:

It can be concluded that LCT and THT were associated with higher bond strengths to intraradicular dentine than CWCT. However, LCT was associated with more empty voids than the other techniques.
