Sealing ability of MTA and amalgam in different root-end preparations and resection bevel angles: an in vitro evaluation using marginal dye leakage

Abstract: This in vitro study evaluated the effect of different apicoectomy angles, instruments used in root-end preparation, and dental materials used in retrofilling on apical sealing. Root ends were resected at 45 or 90 degrees in 80 single-rooted teeth. For each type of apicoectomy, root-end cavities were prepared with either a round carbide #2 bur or an S12/90D ultrasonic tip. The root-end cavities in each subgroup (apicoectomy + root-end preparation) were filled with silver amalgam without zinc (Am) or with gray m… Show more

“…The purpose of endodontic therapy is to clean and disinfect the root canal system with subsequent filling to provide an impervious apical seal [1] . In some cases, if conventional endodontic therapy fails and/or retreatment is not feasible, apicoectomy is performed and a root-end filling is placed to seal the apex [2] . On the other hand, the quality of coronal restoration has been reported to be more important than the quality of obturation itself in maintaining a healthy periapex [3] .…”

“…1 Root-end filling materials should prevent leakage, promote antimicrobial activity, and provide an effective environment for healing of the apical tissues. 2,3 Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) as a root-end filling material has proved to be the most effective material in preventing leakage 3 and stimulating tissue repair. 4 …”

“…[10] Therefore, a shorter setting time and an adequate adaptation in retrofilling cavity are desirable. [1,22] In the present study, 5% CaCl 2 + 2% CHX (G3) group had the shortest final setting time (23 min for GMTA), which was also significantly shorter than that of MTA with water (63 min for GMTA). Bortoluzzi et al [14] Observed initial and final setting times of 12 and 48 min for angelus white MTA, respectively, and when associated with 5% CaCl 2, initial and final setting times were of 6 and 31 min, respectively.…”
