Evaluation of single root canals filled using the lateral compaction, tagger's hybrid, microseal and guttaflow techniques

Abstract: The aim of this study was to determine the percentage of voids, gutta-percha and root canal sealer using 4 different filling techniques. Fifty-two extracted maxillary lateral incisors were prepared using the crown-down pressureless technique. The teeth were randomly divided in 4 groups (n=13): Lateral compaction (LC), Tagger's hybrid (TH), MicroSeal (MS) and GuttaFlow (GF) techniques. Horizontal cross-sections were made at the 2, 10 and 15 mm levels from the apex. Digital images of the root canal areas were ac… Show more

“…With regards to the presence of voids, no differences were found among the three methods for the different sections analyzed. None of the studied methods produced fillings without voids, which is in agreement with another study that used the lateral compaction technique in root canal filling of maxillary incisors (21). The lateral compaction technique presented an increase of the area of the root canal filled in this type of anatomy, but obvious voids and spreader tracts were evident in some cross-sections (Fig.…”

“…Still in reference to the original formulation, Marciano et al 24 (2010) evaluated the apical portion of root canals filled with different obturation systems and sealers (including GuttaFlow), and showed similarity in the percentage of voids between groups. These findings agree with ours, indicating that GuttaFlow offers proper flowability, but it is not superior to other conventional materials.…”

“…In this regard, GuttaFlow presents post-setting expansion 7 and chemical bond with gutta-percha and root canal walls 8 , which could influence the filling of root canal space 24 with high percentage of gutta-percha--filled areas when used in the single-cone technique or with additional accessory gutta-percha cones 25 . The single-cone technique has become increasingly popular, especially in root canals prepared with rotary or reciprocating nickel-titanium systems 12,26 .…”

“…The flowability and longer polymerization time of epoxy resin-based sealers allow them to penetrate deeper into the irregularities, 1,6,8 thus enhancing the mechanical interlocking between the sealer and dentine. 11 However, our results showed a significantly lower dentin bond strength with Sealer 26.…”

“…1,6,7,8 However, the heat required to plasticize GP cones promotes the degradation of its components 9 and alteration of the chemical composition of epoxy-based sealers. 10 The bond strength of the filling material to the radicular dentin is primarily the result of physicochemical interactions across their interface.…”
