Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy Evaluation of the Effect of Lentulo Spiral and Ultrasonic Activation on Intra-tubular Sealer Penetration
Abstract:Objective: To evaluate the effect of lentulospiral and ultrasonic activation on the intra-tubular AH plus sealer penetration using confocal laser scanning microscopy. Materials and Methods: Twenty extracted single-rooted teeth were collected; teeth were prepared up to ProTaper finishing file F4 (size 40). Teeth were randomly divided into two main groups (n=10 teeth) according to activation techniques. The AH plus sealer with rhodamine B was activated by lentulospiral in group 1 and Irrisafe ultrasonic tip in g… Show more
