ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: In multiple-appointment root canal treatment, a temporary filling material is used to seal the access cavity between visits. The primary function of this material is to prevent the contamination of the root canal system by fluids, organic debris, and bacteria from the oral cavity. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of fifty extracted noncarious unrestored human maxillaryanterior teeth with intact crowns and roots were selected The canals were instrumented using stepback technique and sodium hypochlorite (3%) and hydrogen peroxide (3%) were used as irrigants for each specimen alternatively. The coronal two-thirds of each canal were flared using Gates-Glidden drills up to no. 3 size and obturated with Gutta-percha using zinc oxide-eugenol (ZnOE) as sealer. The teeth were then randomly selected and divided into six groups out of which four were experimental groups and two control groups. The teeth were then immersed in 2% methylene blue dye solution for 3 days. All sealing materials and Gutta-percha were gently removed from the walls of the canal, and the entire circumference of the canal wall examined for dye penetration. RESULTS: The lowest mean leakage was in the Fermit-N group followed by Cavit-W, ZnOE, intermediate restorative materials (IRM), and positive control. CONCLUSION: Fermit-N showed better sealing ability compared to cavit, ZnOE and IRM.
ABSTRACT
O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a capacidade seladora de um material restaurador provisório, Villevie, e de uma resina composta, Tetric Ceram, associada a dois tipos de sistema adesivos, XENO III e Single Bond. Quarenta incisivos inferiores unirradiculares foram distribuídos em três grupos de dez dentes cada e cinco dentes para cada grupo controle, positivo e negativo. Os espécimes, após a cirurgia de acesso, foram preparados por meio de sistema de instrumentação rotatória e irrigados com água destilada e deionizada. A porção externa dos dentes foi impermeabilizada até 2 mm aquém da margem externa da cirurgia de acesso. Colocou-se no interior do canal radicular um cone de papel seguido de uma pensa de algodão impregnados com solução alcoólica de dimetilglioxima 1%. A cavidade endodôntica foi selada de acordo com os seguintes grupos: GA- sistema adesivo autocondicionante XENO III + resina composta; GB- sistema adesivo Single Bond + resina composta; e GC- selador provisório. Os espécimes foram imersos em recipientes contendo solução de sulfato de níquel 5% e submetidos à ciclagem térmica por 72h. Os testes de Kruskal-Wallis e Dunn foram utilizados para análise dos resultados com nível de 5% de signifcância. O menor nível de microinfltração foi observado no grupo do restaurador provisório (GC), com diferença estatística signifcante em relação aos demais grupos (P<0,001). Os grupos A e B mostraram-se semelhantes ao controle positivo (P>0,05), com os maiores índices de microinfltração. Concluiu-se que nenhum dos materiais avaliados foi capaz de impedir a microinfltração coronária.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the sealing capacity of a temporary restorative material (Villevie) and a composite resin, Tetric Ceram, associated with two adhesive systems (XENO III and Single Bond). Forty single-rooted mandibular incisors were distributed into three experimental groups of 10 teeth each, and two control groups (positive and negative) of 5 teeth each. After preparation of the access cavities, the canals were instrumented with a rotary system and irrigated with distilled deionized water. The external surfaces of the teeth were rendered water-proof up to 2 mm from the external margins of the access cavities. A paper point and a coton mesh impregnated with an alcoholic 1% dimethylglyoxime were placed inside the root canals, and the endodontic access cavities were sealed according to the following groups: GA- XENO III self-etch adhesive system + composite resin; GB- Single Bond etch-and-rinse adhesive system + composite resin; and GC- temporary restorative material. The specimens were immersed in receptacles containing a 5% nickel sulfate solution and subjected to a thermal cycling regimen during 72 h. The Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn's tests were used for statistical analysis of the results at 5% signifcance level. The group restored with the temporary restorative material (GC) presented statistically signifcant less coronal leakage than the other groups (p<0.001). GA and GB were statistically similar to the positive control (p>0.05), showing the highest levels of coronal leakage. None of the tested materials was able to prevent the occurrence of coronal leakage.
ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to compare the sealing abilities of four endodontic temporary restorative materials using a methylene blue dye penetration test under dynamic loading. Standardized access cavities were prepared in forty-four intact human permanent molar teeth, and the cavities were restored with Caviton, MD-Temp, IRM, or ZOE. After thermocycling, an intermittent load of 98 N at 1 Hz was applied for 1,000 cycles to the long axis of the functional cusp of each of the teeth, which were immersed in a 1% methylene blue solution. The teeth were split in half, and the linear depth of dye penetration was evaluated according to the criteria. The results were analyzed using one-way ANOVA (p = 0.05) and Duncan's multiple range test. The results demonstrated that Caviton and MD-Temp showed significantly lower microleakage than IRM and ZOE. It was concluded that Caviton and MD-Temp exhibited better sealing ability than IRM and ZOE under dynamic loading.
