The use of confocal laser scanning microscopy in endodontic research: sealer/dentin interfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
Confocal laser scanning microscopy can be used in laboratory research to obtain a series of optical XY images through the thickness of the dentin of endodontically treated teeth. With this information the study of the resin/dentin interface of root canal fillings is possible. In comparison to SEM, confocal microscopy has the advantage of providing accurate information and a simple method to determine the adaptation and distribution of sealers inside dentinal tubules in non-dehydrated samples through the use of Rhodamine-marked sealers. 3D reconstructions can also be generated with the digital data. In this work, some examples related to the sealer/dentin interface of different endodontic materials that includes epoxy and methacrylate resin sealers are given.

Influence of prior 810-nm-diode intracanal laser irradiation on hydrophilic resin-based sealer obturation.
Dentin wall structural changes caused by 810-nm-diode laser irradiation can influence the sealing ability of endodontic sealers. The objective of this study was to evaluate the apical leakage of AH Plus and RealSeal resin-based sealers with and without prior diode laser irradiation. Fifty-two single-rooted mandibular premolars were prepared and divided into 4 groups, according to the endodontic...
متن کاملComparison of Three Different Sealer Placement Techniques: An In vitro Confocal Laser Microscopic Study
INTRODUCTION Three-dimensional obturation of the root canal system is the final objective of root canal therapy. Greater penetration of sealer in root dentine lesser will be the voids at the dentine-sealer interface. Hence, analysis of the dentin/sealer interface allows the determination of a filling technique which could obturate the root canals with least gaps and voids. Therefore, the aim of...

BACKGROUND Through chemomechanical debridement of the root canal is a primary requisite for successful endodontic therapy. Thus the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of using QmiX alone, QmiX with EndoActivator and QmiX with Er,Cr:YSGG laser for final irrigation on sealer penetration into the dentinal tubules. MATERIAL AND METHODS 75 extracted human mandibular premolar teeth were ...
متن کاملAdaptation and penetration of resin-based root canal sealers in root canals irradiated with high-intensity lasers.
This research analyzed the quality of resin-based sealer adaptation after intracanal laser irradiation. Extracted teeth (n = 168) were root canal treated and divided into four groups, according to dentin surface treatment: no laser; Nd:YAG laser (1.5 W, 100 mJ, 15 Hz); diode laser (2.5 W in CW), and Er:YAG laser (1 W, 100 mJ, 10 Hz). The teeth were divided into four subgroups according to the s...
