The Interference of the Cleaning Procedure of Root Walls with Two Different Solvents on the Adhesion of Fiberglass Intraradicular Posts

Abstract

Aim This study was undertaken to examine the effect of root canal (RT) sealers content and the cleaning procedure of RT walls on bond strength (BS) of a fiber reinforced composite (FRC) post cemented with resin-based or zinc phosphate cement. Materials and methods Forty bovine roots were divided into 2 groups (n = 20) and obturated with gutta-percha points plus Sealer 26 sealer or gutta-percha points plus N-Rickert sealer. In each group, half (n = 10) of intracanal walls was cleaned with ethanol and the other half with sulfuric ether. In each of these subgroups, half of intracanal posts (n = 5) were cemented with Bistite resin-based cement and half with zinc phosphate cement. Specimens were submitted to pull-out test and tensile force until post dislodgement. The maximum forces required for post removal was expressed in MPa, means were submitted to statistical analysis (Analysis of Variance Test, α = 0.05). Results Fiber reinforced composite cemented with zinc phosphate were significantly more retentive than those cemented with Bistite (p < 0.05). Regarding the influence of eugenol-based sealer on post retention, there was a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) only between groups cemented with Bistite, in which canals filled with N-Rickert + gutta-percha showed lower BS than canals filled with Sealer 26 + gutta-percha. Conclusion Despite endodontic cement used, higher pull-out bond strength were obtained when posts were cemented with zinc phosphate. Clinical significance The importance of ethanol or sulphuric ether application to properly replace water from intraradicular dentine still requires further investigations, especially to clarify if this technique may reduce the effect of aging and improve the stability of the bond, when used to cement fiber posts into the root canal.

Avaliação da interferência do cimento endodôntico na resistência de união de um cimento resinoso à dentina

“…Os cimentos resinosos são utilizados para a cimentação de pinos intrarradiculares e muitas falhas ocorrem entre a parede do canal radicular e o cimento resinoso (Gomes et al, 2012). Assim, a compreensão dos fatores que interferem na união entre a parede do canal radicular e o cimento resinoso é importante (Teixeria et al, 2008).…”

Cleaning and microstructural effects of amyl acetate on pulp chamber dentin impregnated with epoxy resin‐based endodontic sealer

“…Ethanol is the most used substance for cleaning the pulp chamber after root canal filling 1,8 . However, it is highly volatile and it is always used in its hydrated form with different concentrations 8,9 . In addition, endodontic sealers tend to have low solubility in ethanol solution 10 .…”

“…1,8 However, it is highly volatile and it is always used in its hydrated form with different concentrations. 8,9 In addition, endodontic sealers tend to have low solubility in ethanol solution. 10 Bisphenol A and B resins are present in the chemical composition of epoxy resin-based sealer and are nonpolar solutes.…”
