ABSTRACT

Despite the excellent properties of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), the condensation technique may have some influence in its sealing ability. The purpose of this study was to compare the sealing ability of sonic and ultrasonic setting of MTA. Thirty-four extracted human teeth had their canals prepared and filled with Sealapex sealer and gutta-percha using the active lateral condensation technique. The teeth were rendered waterproof and apicoectomy performed at 3 mm from the apex. Root-end cavities (3.0 mm deep and 1.4 mm diameter) were prepared with diamond ultrasonic tips. The root-end cavities were filled with Pro-Root MTA® with ultrasonic vibration, sonic vibration or no vibration. The positive control group did not receive any material while the negative control group was totally rendered waterproof. After material set, the specimens were immersed in Rodhamine B for 24 h, under vacuum in the first 15 min, then washed, dried and split longitudinally for evaluating the infiltration at the dentin/material interface. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey's tests at 5% significance level. Sonic vibration promoted the lowest infiltration values (p<0.05). It was concluded that sonic vibration could be considered an efficient aid to improve the sealing ability of MTA when used as root-end filling material.

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar in vitro, a influência da vibração sônica e ultrassônica no selamento marginal proporcionado pelo MTA. Trinta e quatro dentes humanos tiveram seus canais radiculares instrumentados e obturados com cimento Sealapex® pela técnica da condensação lateral ativa. Os dentes foram impermeabilizados e seccionados os 3 mm apicais. Retrocavidades (3 mm de profundidade e 1,4 mm de diâmetro) foram preparadas com pontas ultrassônicas diamantadas. As retrocavidades foram preenchidas com Pro-Root MTA® com auxílio da vibração ultrassônica, com auxílio da vibração sônica e sem vibração alguma. O grupo controle positivo não recebeu material retrobturador, enquanto que o negativo foi totalmente impermeabilizado. Após a presa do material, os espécimes foram mergulhados em Rodamina B por 15 min em vácuo, permanecendo nesta solução por mais 24 h. Em seguida, foram lavados, secados e clivados longitudinalmente para avaliação da infiltração do corante na interface dentina/material retrobturador. Os dados foram analisados utilizando a análise de variância e o teste de Tukey (p<0,05). Observou-se que apenas a vibração sônica foi diferente apresentando os menores índices de infiltração. Pode-se concluir que vibração sônica contribui com a melhora da capacidade de selamento marginal proporcionado pelo MTA quando empregado como material retrobturador. .

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the apical sealability of Fillapex®, endo-CPM-Sealer® and Sealapex®. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Ninety-four freshly extracted single-rooted teeth were selected and decoronated. All teeth were radiographed to confirm the existence of a single and straight root canal, which was prepared using Protaper Universal and 2.5% sodium hypochlorite. The teeth were randomly divided in groups of 10 specimens each according to the sealer, and the canals were filled using the single cone technique and one of the sealers. Four additional teeth were used as controls. The teeth were submitted to dye leakage with Rhodamine B for 24 h but using vacuum on the initial 15 min. Thereafter, they were cut longitudinally and the leakage was measured in a linear fashion from apex to crown. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey's tests at 5% significance level. RESULTS: Fillapex® and Sealapex® showed significantly less dye leakage than endo-CPM-Sealer® (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: It was concluded that Fillapex® and Sealapex® were able to prevent apical dye leakage differently from endo-CPM-Sealer®.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: o objetivo desse estudo in vitro foi avaliar a infiltração marginal coronária após o preparo para retentor em dentes obturados com três diferentes cimentos,de acordo com o período entre a obturação do canal radicular e o preparo para retentor. Métodos: Noventa dentes humanos recentemente extraídos foram limpos e instrumentados e, então, obturados com Sealapex, Endométhasone ou TopSeal. Brocas Gates-Glidden foram utilizadas para o preparo imediato de 10 dentes de cada cimento até manter 5mm de obturação remanescente.Sessenta raízes obturadas foram incubadas a 37°C emmeio úmido por 30 e 60 dias para serem, depois, preparadas para os retentores como descrito anteriormente.A superfície externa de cada raiz foi coberta com Araldite. Os espécimes foram imersos em corante azul de metileno a 2% sob vácuo por 24h, para então poderem ser analisados. A infiltração foi mensurada pelo software Sigma Scan da parte superior da obturação à porção apical alcançada pelo corante. Resultado: o Sealapexe o TopSeal apresentaram menor infiltração após o preparo para retentor do que o Endométhasone. O preparo imediato para o retentor apresentou menor infiltração do que o preparo para o retentor após 30 e 60 dias da obturação do canal radicular

ABSTRACT

Introdução: a eliminação de bactérias dos canais radiculares é essencial no tratamento endodôntico de dentes com polpas necrosadas, desde que bactérias não só causam,mas também mantêm, as lesões periapicais. Objetivo:analisar in vivo a influência de soluções irrigantes (NaOCl 1%, NaOCl 2,5%, solução salina estéril 0,9%) no tratamento de dentes de cães com lesão periapical crônica em sessão única. Métodos: quarenta canais radiculares de três cães da raça Beagle permaneceram expostos à cavidade bucal para permitir a contaminação e a formação de lesões periapicais crônicas. Em seguida, os canais radiculares foram preparados biomecanicamente. Durante a instrumentação, três soluções irrigantes foram utilizadas: G1 – NaOCl 2,5%; G2 – NaOCl 1%; G3 – solução salina estéril 0,9%. O grupo controle (G4) não recebeu tratamento nem selamento coronário. Os canais radiculares foram obturados com cones de guta-percha e Sealapex. As aberturas coronárias foram seladas com IRM e amálgama. Após 6 meses, os animais foram sacrificado se blocos de tecido processados histologicamente para serem corados com hematoxilina e eosina, ou Brown eBrenn. Resultados: não houve diferença histológica significativa entre a utilização de hipoclorito de sódio a 1%ou 2,5% (p>0,05), mas houve entre eles e a solução salina estéril a 0,9% (p<0,05). Conclusão: concluiu-se que o uso de soluções irrigantes com potencial antibacteriano (hipoclorito de sódio a 1% e 2,5%) proveu condições mais favoráveis ao processo de reparo

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: o objetivo desse estudo in vivo foi avaliar a influência da infiltração coronária no reparo apical de dentes de cães que receberam curativo de demora com hidróxido de cálcio e foram mantidos, ou não, em contato com o meio bucal. Métodos: após o preparo biomecânico e preenchimento com pasta de hidróxido de cálcio, 26 canais foram divididos aleatoriamente em dois grupos experimentais (Grupo 1 = selamento coronário com material restaurador temporário; Grupo 2 = não selados). Os animais foram sacrificados após 7 dias e os espécimes foram preparados para análise histológica.Resultados: em ambos os grupos, os resultados foram semelhantes, células inflamatórias não estavam presentes no tecido apical ou no cemento. Além disso, observou-se necrose na superfície do terço coronário do coto pulpar em contato com o hidróxido de cálcio, e microrganismos foram observados apenas em contato com resíduos que estavam presentes na câmara pulpar dos espécimes sem selamento, mas não no canal radicular. Conclusão: concluiu-se que o hidróxido de cálcio utilizado como curativo impediu a contaminação do canal radicular e manteve seu mecanismo de ação nos tecidos apicais, mesmo sem selamento coronário, por um período de 7 dias

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to evaluate the periapical healing after the use of membrane, bone graft, and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) in apical surgery of dogs' teeth. Apical lesions were induced in 48 roots of 6 dogs after coronal access and pulpal removal. Apical surgery consisted of osteotomy with trephine bur for the standardization of the critical surgical cavities, followed by apicoectomy, curettage, preparation of the root-end cavities with the aid of the ultrasonic device, and retrofilling with MTA. The surgical sites were divided into: group 1-filled with blood; group 2-filled with blood and recovered with membrane; group 3-filled with bone graft; and group 4-filled with bone graft and recovered with membrane. The results showed that the inflammatory infiltrate, the periapical healing process, and the behavior of MTA was the same in all groups, including the mineralization stimulation. It was concluded that the use of membranes and bone graft materials isolated or associated in apical surgery did not alter the periapical healing process after the root-end filling with MTA.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to evaluate two root canal filling techniques used in teeth that had their apical foramen disrupted and compare the apical infiltration with an ideal clinical situation. Twenty-seven freshly extracted single-rooted teeth were selected and radiographed to confirm the existence of a single and straight root canal. The crowns were removed at a mean distance of 11 mm from the apex. The teeth had the root canals instrumented and were randomly assigned to 3 groups (n=9): ND group - root canals were filled using the lateral compaction technique and no disruption was performed; DRF group - the apical constriction was disrupted by advancing a #40 K-file 1 mm beyond the original working length, the canals were reinstrumented to create an apical ledge at 1 mm from the apical foramen and were obturated with a master gutta-percha cone with same size as the last file used for reinstrumentation; DF group - the teeth had the apical constriction disrupted and the canals were obturated with a master gutta-percha cone that fit at 1 mm from the apex. The teeth were submitted to dye leakage test with Rhodamine B for 7 days, using vaccum on the initial 5 min. The teeth were sectioned longitudinally and the leakage was measured in a linear fashion from apex to crown. There was no statistically significant difference (p>0.05) between the groups that had the apical foramen disrupted (DF, DRF), but significant difference was found between the disrupted groups and the non-disrupted one (p<0.01). In conclusion, none of the evaluated techniques was able to prevent apical infiltration, so working length so the working length determination has to be established and maintained carefully.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to histopathologically examine the reaction of the connective tissue of rats to 2 calcium hydroxide-based sealers, Acroseal and Sealapex. Dentin tubes containing the materials and empty control tubes were implanted into the dorsal connective tissue of 36 Wistar albino rats. The animals were killed after 7 or 30 days, and the specimens were prepared for histologic analysis with hematoxylin and eosin, Von Kossa technique, and polarized light. Results were statistically analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis test. Both materials caused mild or moderate inflammatory reactions on the 7th day, but these reactions decreased by the 30th day with no significant difference at any time (P > .05). Mineralization of the subcutaneous tissue of the rats was observed only with Sealapex.

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the subcutaneous response of rat connective tissue to light-cure MTA and Angelus MTA. These materials were placed in polyethylene and dentin tubes and implanted into dorsal connective tissue of Wistar rats for 30 and 60 days. The specimens were prepared to be stained with hematoxylin-eosin, Von Kossa, and without stain for polarized light and evaluated in an optic microscope. The Angelus MTA showed a mild inflammatory response at 30 days and none at 60 days, characterized by organized connective tissue, presence of some chronic inflammatory cells, and induction of mineralized tissue formation. Light-cure MTA presented a moderate chronic inflammatory response at 30 days that decreased at 60 days but was more intense than with Angelus MTA and without dystrophic calcifications. It was possible to conclude that light-cure MTA was similar to MTA at 60 days, but it did not stimulate mineralization.

ABSTRACT

It has been shown that the mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) used to seal lateral/furcal perforations stimulates the deposition of newly formed cementum. Nevertheless, when the site of the perforation is contaminated, the healing process might occur under less favorable conditions. This study evaluated the repair healing process of noncontaminated and contaminated lateral perforations filled with MTA and the effect of previously filling the contaminated perforations with a bactericidal agent. Thirty lateral root perforations were prepared in endodontically treated dog's teeth, thus forming 3 groups with 10 specimens each. In group 1 the perforations were immediately sealed with MTA. In group 2 the perforations were left open for 7 days and thereafter sealed with MTA. In group 3 the perforations were left open for 7 days, filled temporarily with a calcium hydroxide-based paste for 14 days, and then sealed with MTA. The animals were killed after 90 days, and the pieces were prepared for histomorphologic and histomicrobiologic evaluations. The statistical analysis showed that group 1 had significantly better repair than groups 2 (P < .05) and 3 (P < .05), which validates the superior results obtained when MTA was immediately used to seal root perforations. Groups 2 and 3 had statistically similar repair to each other (P > .05). There were a larger number of cases of complete or partial biologic seal in group 1 compared with the contaminated groups. It might be concluded that the lateral root perforations sealed with MTA after contamination presented worse repair than the noncontaminated, immediately sealed perforations. The temporary filling with a bactericidal agent (calcium hydroxide-based paste) did not improve the repair of perforations exposed to contamination, and the contaminated groups presented similar results to each other.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar o preparo de canais simulados em blocos de acrílico utilizando- se um sistema de rotação alternada e diferentes limas de aço inoxidável para instrumentação. Métodos: Quinze canais artificiais com 17mm de extensão e com curvaturas aproximadas de 33 graus contidos em blocos de resina foram utilizados para analisar o desgaste produzido nas paredes e a incidência de desvios apicais proporcionados pelas limas Flex-R, Flexofile e Dyna-Flex acionadas pelo sistema de rotação alternadaEndo-Gripper. As imagens iniciais dos canais foram capturadas no escâner, após preenchimento com tinta azul, seguindo-se o preparo cérvico-medial com brocas Gates-Glidden até a profundidade de 10mm. Os 7mm apicais dos canais foram, então, preparados com as limas em estudo, acionadas com rotação alternada, iniciando-se com o instrumento #15 e concluindo-se com o #35, com velocidade de 15.000 rpm. Concluído o preparo, os canais foram novamente preenchidos com a mesma tinta azul e as imagens novamente capturadas. Através do programa Imagelab 2.3, compararam-se os valores das mensurações inicial e final de cada espécime, os quais foram analisados estatisticamente através da análise de variância e Teste de Tuckey. Conclusão: Observou-se que a lima Flexofile proporcionou desgaste significativamente maior do que a Flex-R e Dyna-Flex, e entre estas não houve diferença significativa, e que os três tipos de instrumentos empregados não provocaram desvios apicais.


Introduction: The objective of this work is to evaluate the preparation of the canals simulated in acrylic blocks using different stainless steel files for instrumentation purposes. Methods: Fifteen artificial canals 17mm long and curved at 33º inside resin blocks were used to analyze wall wearing and deviation of the canals produced by Flex-R, Flexofile and Dyna-Flex files powered by Endo-Gripper as an alternate rotary system. The initial images were obtained by a scanner after the canals were filled with blue ink and prepared with Gates-Glidden burs until 10mm from the cervical portion of the canals. The remaining 7mm was prepared with files under alternate rotation. File#15 was the first to be used and #35 was the last, at15.000 rpm. After the preparation, the canals were filled with the same blue ink and the images were once more obtained. The initial and final measures were statistically compared. Conclusion: It was observed that the Flexfile produced a significantly wider wearing than Flex-R and Dyna-Flex, without statistical differences between them, and none of instruments tested caused apical deviation.

ABSTRACT

A presença da “Smear Layer” nas obturações retrógradas tem sido considerada, não só pela sua composição, invariavelmente contaminada, mas também pela possibilidade de comprometer o selamento marginal. No entanto, ainda permanecem dúvidas acerca da necessidade de remoção, qual o melhor composto a ser utilizado e sua forma de aplicação. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar “in vitro”, o efeito da aplicação de EDTA a 17% e do Ácido Cítrico a 2%, após a realização de apicectomias e retropreparos com o ultra-som, na infiltração marginal de obturações retrógradas realizadas com o cimento Sealapex consistente. Cinqüenta dentes humanos, após a obturação dos canais radiculares, apicectomia e retro-preparo receberam os seguintes tratamentos: irrigação das superfícies dentinárias apicectomizadas e interior das retrocavidades com água destilada; aplicação de EDTA a 17% ou Ácido Cítrico a 2% somente no interior das retro-cavidades; aplicação de EDTA a 17% ou Acido Cítrico a 2% no interior das retro-cavidades e sobre a superfície dentinária apicectomizada. Todos os dentes foram retro-obturados com Sealapex consistente. Os resultados mostraram que não houve diferença estatisticamente significante quanto à infiltração marginal em obturações retrógradas realizadas com Sealapex consistente, utilizandose ou não EDTA a 17% ou Ácido Cítrico a 2%. Pode-se concluir que a aplicação de EDTA ou Ácido Cítrico nas concentrações utilizadas não altera o selamento em obturações retrógradas

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to investigate the periapical healing process of dogs' teeth with or without apical patency and after root canal filling with two types of sealers. Forty roots of premolars and incisors were utilized. The root canals were over-instrumented and dressed with a corticosteroid-antibiotic solution for 7 days to obtain ingrowth of periapical connective tissue into the canals. After this period, the tissue was removed in half of the specimens (groups with patency) and preserved in the other half (groups without patency). Canals were filled by lateral condensation technique with gutta-percha points and either a calcium hydroxide-based sealer (Sealer Plus) or a Grossman's cement (Fill Canal). The animals were killed by anesthetic overdose 60 days after the endodontic treatment and anatomic pieces were obtained and prepared for histologic examination. Data were evaluated in a blind analysis on the basis of several histomorphologic parameters. The groups without patency had better results (p=0.01) than those in which the ingrown connective tissue was removed. Comparing the sealers, Sealer Plus had significantly better results (p=0.01) than Fill Canal. In conclusion, both the apical patency (presence or absence) and the type of root canal filling material influenced the periapical healing process in dogs' teeth with vital pulp after root canal treatment. The use of a calcium hydroxide-based sealer in teeth without apical patency yielded the best results among the experimental conditions proposed.

ABSTRACT

O presente estudo in vivo comparou os efeitos do agregado de trióxido mineral (MTA), IRM, Super EBA e OZE na consistência de massa de vidraceiro, usados como material para obturação retrógrada, no processo de reparo dos tecidos periapicais de dentes despulpados de cães submetidos à técnica de retrobturação convencional. Vinte e quatro pré-molares obtidos de três cães foram usados. Na primeira intervenção, os animais foram anestesiados, e a abertura coronária e a pulpectomia foram realizadas. Os canais radiculares foram mantidos abertos ao meio oral por 180 dias para induzir a formação de lesão periapical. Após a remoção cirúrgica das lesões com curetas, 2 mm apicais da raiz foram seccionados perpendicularmente ao longo eixo do dente e uma cavidade apical foi preparada com broca esférica em baixa-rotação. As cavidades ósseas foram irrigadas e secas, e as cavidades apicais obturadas com MTA, IRM, Super EBA e OZE na consistência de massa de vidraceiro. As cavidades ósseas foram passivamente preenchidas com sangue e os retalhos suturados. As aberturas coronárias foram limpas e seladas duplamente com OZE e amálgama. Após 180 dias, os animais foram sacrificados por super-dosagem de anestésico, a maxila e a mandíbula foram removidas e as peças processadas para análise histomorfológica. Os dados foram avaliados cegamente com base nos vários eventos histomorfológicos e os escores obtidos foram analisados estatisticamente usando o teste Kruskal Wallis. Nenhuma diferença estatisticamente significante foi observada entre MTA, Super EBA e IRM (p>0,005). Entretanto, o OZE teve influência negativa significantemente maior no reparo apical (p<0,005). Estes resultados indicam que MTA, Super EBA e IRM tiveram efeitos histopatológicos similares entre eles e melhor performance que o OZE utilizado na consistência de massa de vidraceiro. Além disso, somente o MTA estimulou a deposição de tecido duro em contato direto com o material retrobturador, mesmo quando inserido sob condições críticas.

ABSTRACT

Foi propósito deste trabalho observar o processo de reparo de dentes de cães após obturação dos canais com dois cimentos diferentes, fazendo ou não a patência apical. Após uma sobreinstrumentação, os canais receberam um curativo de uma solução de corticosteróide-antibiótico por 7 dias, com o objetivo de obter invaginação de tecido conjuntivo para dentro dos canais. Após esse período, esse tecido foi totalmente removido em metade dos casos (grupos com patência apical) e preservados no restante dos casos (grupos sem patência apical). Os canais foram obturados pela técnica da condensação lateral empregando um cimento a base de hidróxido de cálcio (Sealer Plus) ou um cimento de Grossman (Fill Canal). Os animais foram sacrificados por overdose anestésica 60 dias após o tratamento endodôntico e as peças anatômicas foram obtidas e preparadas para análise histológica. Os dados obtidos foram analisados com base em diversos parâmetros histomorfológicos. Os resultados foram melhores nos grupos sem patência apical (p=0,01) do que nos grupos com patência. Dentre os cimentos estudados, os melhores resultados foram observados com o cimento Sealer Plus (p=0,01). Em conclusão, tanto a patência apical (presença ou ausência) quanto o tipo de material obturador de canal influíram no processo de reparo apical de dentes de cães com polpas vitais após tratamento endodôntico. O emprego de um cimento a base de hidróxido de cálcio em dentes sem patência apical promoveu os melhores resultados, dentre as condições experimentais propostas.
