چکیده

INTRODUCTION An ideal endodontic sealer should adhere firmly both to dentin and to gutta-percha. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the adhesion of the root canal filling to dentin and gutta-percha using scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). METHODS The sealing ability of endodontic sealers to dentinal walls of the root canal was assessed in recently extracted human single canal premolars. Twenty teeth were prepared using the crown-down technique and irrigated with 3% NaOCl. A total of 20 samples were divided into two groups. The root canals were obturated using Ketac-Endo Aplicap and GutaFlow. The sealing ability and adhesion properties at the sealer-dentin interface were studied using SEM and the results were rated from 1 to 3; extremely good adhesion (rated 1), good adhesion (rated 2) and a relatively good adhesion (rated 3). RESULTS The results showed extremely good adhesion on Ketac-Endo and GuttaFlow dentin interface. GuttaFlow has strong adhesion (rated 1) to gutta-percha in comparison with Ketac-Endo to gutta-percha interface (rated 2). CONCLUSION New GuttaFlow filling material has a strong sealing ability and excellent adhesion to dentinal walls and gutta-percha cones. Ketac-Endo showed excellent bond to dentin with a slightly weaker adhesion capacity to the gutta-percha cones in comparison to GuttaFlow.

Comparison of Tubular Penetration of AH26, EasySeal, and SureSeal Root Canal Sealers in Single-Rooted Teeth Using Scanning Electron Microscopy

Background and Aim: Tubular penetration of root canal sealers prevents filling material displacement and overgrowth of microorganisms in dentinal tubules. The aim of this study was to compare the tubular penetration of AH26, EasySeal, and SureSeal sealers in single-rooted teeth using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Materials and Methods: Fifty human single-rooted teeth were included in thi...

The effect of irrigation solutions on the apical sealing ability in different root canal sealers.

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of three root canal irrigation solutions on the apical sealing ability of three root canal obturation materials: gutta-percha/AH plus or MM-seal and Resilon/Epiphany SE. A total of 100 teeth with single straight root canals were randomly divided into three equal groups of 30 samples each, with the other 10 teeth (5 positive and 5 negative) used as ...

An In Vitro Scanning Electron Microscopy Study to Evaluate the Dentinal Tubular Penetration Depth of Three Root Canal Sealers

Background: It is difficult to identify a potential sealant with penetration depth until practically analyzed. A scanning electron microscopy (SEM) overview could better describe the internal picture of the materials sealed to the tooth surface on in vitro experimentation since it being a vital procedure for successful obturation. Hence, this study was undertaken to compare the penetration dept...

Evaluation of Sealing Ability of Three Root Canal Sealers

The purpose of this study was to determine the sealing ability of three different sealers and to compare the sealing ability of three sealers. Thirty single rooted mandibular first premolar teeth were used. The crowns were removed at the cemento -enamel junction and root canals were prepared to a # 35 K-file. The teeth were randomly divided into three groups, A, K and R. Each group consisted of...
