Comparative sem evaluation of three solvents used in endodontic retreatment: an ex vivo study

Abstract: This study compared, by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the efficacy of three solvents on the removal of filling materials from dentinal tubules during endodontic retreatment. Forty human maxillary canines with straight canals were prepared according to a crown-down technique and enlarged to a#30 apical file size, before obturation with gutta-percha and a zinc-oxide-eugenol based sealer. The samples were stored for 3 months before being randomly assigned to four groups: chloroform (n=10), orange oil (n=10)… Show more

“…10,13,16 However, while gutta-percha can be removed without great difficulty with the use of organic solvents combined with endodontic instruments, the endodontic sealer can resist dissolution and complete removal might not be achieved. 17,18 These results were confirmed by SEM; the intraradicular dentin was observed to be covered by filling remnants when PTR was used without a solvent, whereas sealer-free areas with open tubules could be observed on intraradicular dentin surfaces when solvents were applied.…”

“…[22] It is more biocompatible and displays less cytotoxicity than Xylene. [23,24]In our study Xylene was found to possess better dissolution for all types of GP than Orange oil. Magalhães et alalso found Xylene to have highest capability for dissolving GP.…”
