Sealing ability of three different materials to repair furcation perforations using computerized fluid filtration method

Abstract

Background. The present study aimed to evaluate the sealing ability of three different calcium silicate-based materials in furcation perforations. Methods. Seventy-six human mandibular molar teeth were selected. Perforations were created in the center of the pulp chamber floor. The experimental teeth were randomly divided into three groups (n=22). Perforations were repaired with MTA Angelus, Endocem MTA, or EndoSequence BioCeramic Root Repair Material Fast Set Putty (BC-RRM Putty). Microleakage of the different repair materials to be tested was measured by computerized fluid filtration method at 24- and 72-hour intervals. Results. For each time interval, no statistically significant difference was observed between the groups. For Endocem MTA and BC-RRM Putty groups, the difference between the leakage values measured at both periods was not statistically significant (P>0.05). However, there was a significant difference for the MTA Angelus group (P<0.05). Conclusion. All the calcium silicate-based materials used in the present study showed similar performance in repairing furcation perforations at 24- and 72-hour intervals.

Fracture Resistance of Molars With Simulated Strip Perforation Repaired With Different Calcium Silicate-Based Cements

“…Bioceramic putty represents one of the newer generations of calcium silicate cement (fifth generation) [27]. Through its advanced composition and availability in a pre-mixed paste form, Koç et al [26] found that it was able to achieve similar success as MTA for sealing root perforations, whereas Abdelmotelb et al [28] found that it was even better than MTA in sealing root perforations. Similarly, this study found that both MTA and bioceramic putty have a close mean of fracture resistance in restoring molars with SPs.…”

“…According to the results of this study, no significant differences were observed among G1 (without SP), G3 (SP treated with MTA), and G4 (SP treated with bioceramic) (1083.73 N, 1025.20 N, and 1034.20 N, respectively), which meant that both MTA and bioceramic can similarly support and restore the correct structure of the tooth as if it was not affected by SP. Many laboratory and clinical studies have confirmed the role of MTA in supporting fragile dental structures and enhancing the survival of weakened teeth within the oral cavity during long follow-up periods, whether in treating immature teeth [ 25 ], perforations [ 21 ], or various absorptions [ 26 ]. Our current study corroborates this finding in SP treatment.…”

Evaluation of Sealing Ability of Nano-Hydroxyapatite and Nano-MTA as Perforation Repair Material: (In-vitro Study)

“…The sealing ability property resists the micro-leakage of fluids and penetration of bacteria into the material itself and to the surrounding tissues. 12 To evaluate the micro-leakage of a material several methods used such as dye penetration 17,18 fluid filtration 19,20 bacterial leakage 21,22 and dye extraction. In the current study, the sealing ability of the material will be evaluated by dye extraction using UV Spectrophotometer.…”

Biocompatibility and mineralization potential of new calcium silicate cements

“…ERRM-FS presented good marginal adaptation when it was used to seal immature root canals or for perforation in tooth models. 13 , 14 ERRM-FS also exhibited good healing potential after root-end surgery in vivo. 15 However, few studies have investigated the use of ERRM-FS in vital pulp therapy, and no animal studies have assessed the pulpal reaction after pulp capping using ERRM-FS.…”
