Abstract
Objectives This study investigated the nanoleakage of root canal obturations using calcium silicate-based sealer according to different drying methods. Materials and Methods Fifty-two extracted mandibular premolars with a single root canal and straight root were selected for this study. After canal preparation with a nickel-titanium rotary file system, the specimens were randomly divided into 4 groups according to canal drying methods (1: complete drying, 2: blot drying/distilled water, 3: blot drying/NaOCl, 4: aspiration only). The root canals were obturated using a single-cone filling technique with a calcium silicate-based sealer. Nanoleakage was evaluated using a nanoflow device after 24 hours, 1 week, and 1 month. Data were collected twice per second at the nanoscale and measured in nanoliters per second. Data were statistically analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U-tests (p < 0.05). Results The mean flow rate measured after 24 hours showed the highest value among the time periods in all groups. However, the difference in the flow rate between 1 week and 1 month was not significant. The mean flow rate of the complete drying group was the highest at all time points. After 1 month, the mean flow rate in the blot drying group and the aspiration group was not significantly different. Conclusions Within the limitations of this study, the canal drying method had a significant effect on leakage and sealing ability in root canal obturations using a calcium silicate-based sealer. Thus, a proper drying procedure is critical in endodontic treatment.

Abstract
Background: Root-end resection followed by retrofilling is one of the prime requisites to avoid apical microleakage. Aim: It comparatively evaluated the microleakage after root-end resection by erbium, chromium:yttrium, scandium, gallium, and garnet laser and carbide bur with or without placement of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). Materials and Methods: In this study, 60 maxillary central incisors were decoronated and biomechanically prepared. Out of 60 samples, 48 were included in the experimental group while the rest 12 were in the control group. The samples in the experimental group were obturated, whereas the samples in the control group were not obturated. The experimental group samples were divided into two: one group resected with the laser and the other half resected with carbide bur. These groups were further subdivided into two – one group retrofilled with MTA and the other half without MTA. The control group had both laser- and carbide bur-resected samples with positive and negative controls. All the samples were dyed, decalcified, and cleared. Digital photograph of each sample was taken, and the area of dye penetration was measured with the help of ImageJ software. Statistical Analysis: Analysis of variance and Tukey's test were done. Results: The highest microleakage was seen in carbide without MTA and the least was seen with laser with MTA. Conclusion: Laser-resected MTA-retrofilled samples showed minimum leakage.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to analyze the sealing ability of different root canal filling materials over a 6-week period using a glucose penetration model. Forty-six recently extracted human premolars were used in this study. The root canals were enlarged to 40/0.06. Prepared canals were randomly assigned into four groups (n = 10) as follows: Group 1, Gutta-Percha (GP)/AH Plus with cold lateral compaction; Group 2, GP/AH Plus with continuous wave compaction; Group 3, RealSeal SE obturation system; and Group 4, OrthoMTA. The remaining specimens were used as positive and negative controls, and all specimens underwent thermocycling (10,000; 5-55 °C). The sealing ability of all samples was evaluated at 24 h, 1, 2, 4, and 6 weeks using a quantitative glucose leakage model, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) images were taken. A mixed effect analysis using R statistical language was performed. Groups 1, 2, and 4 showed low leakage levels during experimental periods. Group 3 showed low leakage levels for the first 2 weeks; however, the leakage level was significantly increased after 2 weeks compared to negative control group (p < 0.05). In the SEM results, Group 3 showed imperfect dentin bonding, whereas Group 4 showed calcium silicate hydrate short tags, which are formed at the access of the dentin tubules. GP/AH Plus and OrthoMTA showed less microleakage than RealSeal SE obturation system when used as root canal filling materials. Traditional GP/AH Plus sealer and the newly developed OrthoMTA are more appropriate for ideal sealing of the root canals.

Management of Root Perforations Using MTA with or without Er:YAG Laser Irradiation: An In Vitro Study. Int J Dent 2012; 2012:628375. [PMID: 22888350 PMCID: PMC3408720 DOI: 10.1155/2012/628375] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2012] [Revised: 04/09/2012] [Accepted: 06/11/2012] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of this in vitro study is to compare the microleakage of a root perforation sealed with MTA (mineral trioxide aggregate) (group M) to that sealed with MTA following Er:YAG laser irradiation (group ML). Forty-two recently extracted human monoroot teeth were used. Two cavities were prepared on each root surface. Randomly, on each root, the exposed dentine of one cavity was irradiated prior to MTA filling using an Er:YAG laser with the following settings: 200 mJ/pulses under an air water spray, 10 Hz, pulse duration of 50 μsec, and 0.7 mm beam diameter. All cavities were then sealed with MTA. submitted to thermocycling and immersed in 2% methylene blue dye solution for 12 h. The penetration of methylene blue in the microleakage of cavity was observed and recorded. The mean value dye penetration in cavities sealed with MTA following Er:YAG laser irradiation (23.91 ± 14.63%) was lower than that of unlased cavities sealed only with MTA (25.17 ± 17.53%). No significant difference was noted. The use of an Er:YAG laser beam for dentinal conditioning prior to MTA filling of perforated roots did not decrease significantly the microleakage of MTA sealing when compared to the conventional use of MTA filling.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the microleakage of Resilon + Epiphany, EndoRez, Activ GP, and conventional AH Plus + gutta-percha technique using the glucose filtration model. STUDY DESIGN One hundred twenty maxillary incisors were divided into 5 experimental and 2 control groups. After root canal shaping, the experimental groups were filled with AH Plus + gutta-percha (lateral compaction), Resilon + Epiphany (lateral compaction), AH Plus + Protaper's proprietory cone, EndoRez + sealer, or Activ GP + sealer). The specimens were mounted on a glucose model and samples were taken for 3 weeks for leakage measurement. RESULTS No statistically significant difference was observed between the leakage of all groups at the 3 testing periods (P > .05). CONCLUSION The filling materials with the monoblock concept do not seem to be superior to the conventional AH Plus + gutta-percha system regarding microleakage.

Abstract
Objectives: to compare the apical sealing ability of four root canal sealers. Materials and methods: forty extracted human maxillary canines were instrumented 1 mm short of the anatomical apex and randomly assigned to four groups (n=10), according to the root canal sealer used for obturation: Endofill, AH Plus, EndoREZ and Epiphany. Root canals were obturated with guttapercha points, except for the Epiphany group, in which resin points (Resilon) were used. The teeth were immersed in India ink for seven days and clarified using methyl salicylate. The extent of apical dye penetration was measured with a measuroscope in all aspects of the canal. Results: AH Plus (0.02 mm ± 0.07), Epiphany (0.00 mm ± 0.00) and EndoREZ (0.32 mm ± 0.62) did not differ statistically to each other (p>0.01). EndoFill presented the highest dye penetration mean (0.83 mm ± 0.73) and was statistically different from the other sealers (p<0.01). Conclusions: the resin-based root canal sealers presented lesser apical microleakage than the zinc oxide and eugenol based sealer. No statistical differences were observed among resin based sealers.

Abstract
AIM To assess the histological response associated with grey mineral trioxide aggregate (GMTA) and zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE) as root-end filling materials in teeth where the root canals were not filled and the coronal access cavities were not restored. METHODOLOGY Periapical lesions were developed in 24 premolar teeth in three dogs. The root canals were prepared and half of them were dried, filled and the coronal access restored (closed). The remaining teeth were not root filled and no coronal restoration was placed (open). Apical root-end resections were performed 3 mm from the apex, and root-end cavities were prepared with ultrasonic tips. These were randomly filled with either ZOE or GMTA in the same number of specimens using MAPSYSTEM device. After 180 days the animals were killed and blocks of tissues removed and processed for histological examination. Periradicular tissue reaction was evaluated, including severity of inflammation and cementum formation. Statistical analysis was performed using anova analysis and Tukey's test. RESULTS A significant difference was found between the levels of inflammation in the periradicular tissues of the GMTA/closed group, compared with the ZOE/open and ZOE/closed groups (P < 0.05) but not between GMTA/closed and GMTA/open groups. Cementum formation was not found over any ZOE specimens but over MTA in all specimens. No microorganisms were found in the interface between the material and the dentinal walls. CONCLUSIONS GMTA was associated with less periapical inflammation and tissue response when used as a root-end filling material, even when no root filling or coronal restoration was present.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine if there is a significant correlation between the in vivo presence of periapical radiolucency and ex vivo apical dye penetration on the same human teeth. STUDY DESIGN Eighty-four endodontically filled teeth that were scheduled for extraction were classified into 2 groups according to the presence or absence of a periapical radiolucency and further divided into 2 subgroups according to the quality of the root canal filling. After extraction, the apical filling was evaluated by a dye penetration method. RESULTS The dye extraction evaluation showed no correlation between apical dye penetration and the presence of a periapical radiolucency (not significant), but a statistically significant correlation with the quality of the root canal filling (P = .03). CONCLUSION The results of the dye penetration study were correlated to the quality of the root canal filling but had no predictive value for the development of periapical radiolucency.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the penetration of three dyes in MTA root-end fillings. In 30 single-rooted teeth, cavities for retrofilling were prepared with an ultrasound appliance and filled with MTA. The specimens were randomly assigned to three groups (n = 10) and immersed in the following solutions: 2% methylene blue (MET), 50% silver nitrate (NIT) and 0.2% rhodamine B (ROD). Two transversal slices (1 mm) of the retrofilling region were obtained and evaluated using the Image Tool 3.0 software to obtain a quantitative evaluation (in mm²) of the dye penetration around the retrofillings. Data were submitted to statistical analysis using Student’s t-test. The lowest degree of dye penetration was observed for the NIT group, in both slices (p < 0.05). Dye penetration was significantly larger in the ROD group when compared to the NIT group, in both slices (p < 0.05), and to the MET group, only in slice 1 (p < 0.05). Within the limitations of this study, it was concluded that the choice of dye could influence the penetration evaluation in root-end filling studies, and that the NIT had the lowest penetration capacity in the apical dentine.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the apical seal in root apex treated with different demineralization agents and retrofilled with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) using marginal dye leakage. Fifty-six, human single-rooted teeth were instrumented, filled, resected and had retrofilling cavities prepared with ultrasonic tips. Demineralizing agents were applied before the apical cavities were retrofilled with Pro Root MTA. The specimens were assigned to 4 groups (n=14), as follows: group 1 (no demineralizing agent); group 2 (35% phosphoric acid, for 15 s); group 3 (17% EDTA solution, pH 7, for 3 min); and group 4 (24% EDTA gel, pH 7, for 4 min). The extension of dye (2% rhodamine B, at 37 degrees C, for 24 h) penetration was measured in millimeters using a stereomicroscope. Results were statistically analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey's test at 5% significance level. Among the experimental groups, the least extension of dye penetration was observed in group 1 (1.89 mm), followed by groups 2 (2.18 mm), 4 (2.54 mm) and 3 (2.64 mm). No statistically significant differences (p<0.05) were found in marginal microleakage among groups 1, 2 and 4 and groups 2, 3 and 4. Based on the results obtained in this study, it may be concluded that the application of demineralizing agents cannot be recommended when MTA is used in periradicular surgeries.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the root-end sealing ability through dye leakage evaluation and the marginal adaptation through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of some root-end filling materials. Thirty human uniradicular teeth were used. Teeth were divided into three groups: (1) retrofilled with MTA-Angelus, (2) with SuperEBA, and (3) with Vitremer. The root surfaces were isolated with nail polish and teeth were immersed in silver nitrate. Roots were sectioned transversally at each millimeter, in three sections and evaluated at a stereomicroscope to observe dye penetration. Using SEM the distance between the tested root-end filling materials and the surrounding dentin was measured at four points. The statistical analysis showed significant differences among the three materials in relation to the sealing ability (p < 0.05). Concerning marginal adaptation, MTA-Angelus presented the best results (p < 0.01). Absence of correlation between the two methodologies was clearly observed.

Abstract
The purpose of this review was two-fold: (a) to determine which retrograde obturation material(s) best prevents dye/ink penetration in vitro; and (b) to determine whether in vitro results agree with in vivo results. A MEDLINE search was conducted to identify in vitro studies published between January 1966 and October, week 4, 2003, conducted on human teeth, and published in English, German, or French language, testing the resistance to retrograde penetration of retrograde filling materials. The MEDLINE search identified 278 published articles. Of those, 115 studies examined the resistance to penetration of various retrograde filling materials, in vitro. Thirty-four studies met all the inclusion and validity criteria. The results indicate that, beyond 10 days in vitro, the most effective retrofilling materials, when measured by dye/ink penetration are: composites>glass ionomer cement>amalgam>orthograde gutta-percha>EBA. The results of these in vitro studies are not congruent with in vivo study results, suggesting a need to re-evaluate the clinical validity and importance of in vitro studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to introduce a new method for quantitative testing of endodontic leakage. STUDY DESIGN Eighty straight maxillary anterior teeth were divided randomly into 3 experimental groups of 20 samples each and 2 control groups. The experimental groups were prepared using the modified double-flared technique and obturated by lateral compaction of cold gutta-percha with Pulp Canal Sealer EWT, Sealapex, or AH Plus sealer. With the leakage test device, coronal 1 mol/L glucose solution was forced under a hydrostatic pressure of 1.5 kPa toward the apical part of the root. Leakage was measured by the concentration of leaked glucose in apical reservoir at 1, 2, 4, 7, 10, 15, 20, and 30 days with the enzymatic glucose oxidase method. RESULTS No significant difference of sealing ability was found among 3 test groups at 1, 2, 4, and 7 days. From the tenth day, Pulp Canal Sealer EWT showed the highest leakage, and the leakage was not significantly different between Sealapex and AH Plus. CONCLUSIONS The quantitative method is sensitive, nondestructive, and clinically relevant. Pulp Canal Sealer EWT showed more leakage than Sealapex and AH Plus in most observation time.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the classical dye-penetration method to a dye-extraction method, with a fluid-filtration method as control. Forty teeth were prepared with a ProFile device and divided into four groups (n = 10 per group) according to the sealer used for the lateral condensation: Pulp Canal Sealer, Sealapex, AH Plus, and Ketac-Endo. The apical seal was evaluated on the same teeth with all three methods, successively: a fluid-filtration method, a dye-penetration method with 2% methylene blue, and a new method where the roots were dissolved in 65% nitric acid to extract the methylene blue before reading the absorbance of the solution. The classical dye penetration did not show any difference among the sealers and showed no correlation with the two other techniques. The fluid filtration (p < 0.01) and the dye extraction (p < 0.01) showed that Sealapex displayed the highest apical leakage. The correlation between the results obtained with these two methods was significant (p = 0.001 and r = 0.7). This study showed the limitation of the classical dye-penetration studies and that the dye-extraction, i.e. dissolution, method gave the same results as fluid filtration but saved much laboratory time.

Abstract
AIM This in vitro study evaluated the microleakage of root fillings involving four root-canal sealers including AH Plus (De-Trey, Switzerland), RoekoSeal (Roeko, Germany). Ketac-Endo (ESPE, (Germany) and Sultan (Sultan Chemists, USA. METHODOLOGY Forty extracted human maxillary anterior teeth were used. The coronal part of each tooth was removed and the root canals were prepared using the step-back technique and apical enlargement to size 60 file. The specimens were randomly divided into four groups of 10 samples, filled with one of the test materials and gutta-percha cones by the cold lateral condensation technique. A fluid filtration method was used for quantitative evaluation of apical leakage. The leakage was measured by the movement of an air bubble in a capillary glass tube connected to the experimental root section. Measurements of fluid movement were made at 2-min intervals for 8 min. Water transport through existing voids in the obturated canals could be measured reproducibly in this way. The quality of the seal of each specimen was measured after 7,14 and 21 days. RESULTS Statistical analysis indicated that all the root fillings showed less leakage after 21 days (P < 0.05). Fillings incorporating Sultan showed significantly more leakage than all other sealers. CONCLUSIONS Root fillings with RoekoSeal in combination with cold lateral condensation technique showed better sealing than those with Ketac-Endo, AH Plus and Sultan sealers after 21 days. The fluid filtration test used in this study gave quantitative results and allowed nondestructive long-term evaluation of specimens.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to compare in vitro bacterial and dye leakage tests, commonly used to determine the seal of root canal fillings. METHODOLOGY Ninety-six single-rooted teeth had their crowns removed at the cemento-enamel junction and their roots instrumented to ISO size 60 within 1 mm of the apex. Three groups of 30 roots were obturated by lateral condensation using gutta-percha and one or other of the sealers. AH26, Ketac Endo, or Roth's 801 sealer. Three roots were used as negative controls and three roots as positive controls. The roots were then exposed at their coronal end first for 38 days to soy broth containing Staphylococcus epidermidis and thereafter for 48 h to basic fuchsin. Bacterial leakage was recorded when the challenging organism could be recovered from the apical end. Dye leakage was checked by microscopy of transverse sections of the apical tip at the end of the experiment. RESULTS For the bacterial experiment, there was no significant difference amongst the three sealer groups. The dye experiment showed significantly greater leakage in the AH26 compared to the Ketac Endo group. No correlation between the results of the two tests could be seen. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study suggest that the molecular size of the penetrating agent may not be the relevant parameter when attempting to determine an appropriate test for the sealability of root canal fillings.

Abstract
The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the apical seal obtained with three commonly used root canal sealing cements: Sealapex, AH Plus or Topseal, and Sealite, using a new method based on the quantitative analysis of 125I-radiolabeled lysozyme penetration. One hundred thirteen teeth with straight single root canals were instrumented to master apical point #25/30. These were divided into three groups: (i) negative control (4 roots) covered with two layers of nail polish, (ii) test group (105 roots) obturated by laterally condensed guttapercha with the three cements; and (iii) positive control (4 roots) obturated without cement. The groups were then immersed in 125I lysozyme solution for a period of 1, 7, 14, or 28 days. After removal, six sections of 0.8 mm length each were made of each root with a fine diamond wire. Each section was analyzed for activity by a gamma counter, corrected for decay, and used to quantify protein penetration. Leakage was high in the positive control and almost negligible in the negative control. AH Plus (Topseal) and Sealapex showed similar leakage behavior over time, with AH Plus (Topseal) performing better. Sealite showed acceptable leakage up until day 14, after which a large increase occurred, presumably due to three-dimensional instability.

Abstract
The apical seal of roots obturated with either of two kinds of dentin bonding agent, gutta-percha and epoxy-resin-based root canal sealer, was compared by a die leakage test with that of an epoxy resin root canal sealer and gutta-percha without a bonding agent. Thirty-two roots were prepared chemomechanically and divided into three experimental groups. Group 1 was filled with gutta-percha, epoxy-resin sealer, and All-Bond 2 Adhesive. Group 2 was filled with gutta-percha, epoxy-resin sealer, and Scotchbond Multi-Purpose Plus adhesive. Group 3 was filled with gutta-percha and epoxy resin sealer. The teeth were immersed in 2% methylene blue solution. Groups 1 and 2 leaked significantly less than group 3. The materials most frequently observed at the apex were in group 1 dental adhesive and in group 2 gutta-percha. The interface between dentin and the adhesive materials in groups 1 and 2 was examined by scanning electron microscope and showed a hybrid-like layer.

Abstract
This study was carried out to investigate the effect of changes in tooth structure due to masticatory cycles on amalgam retrofillings performed to different cavity depths. Forty upper maxillary first molars were tested. In the obturated palatal root apical amalgam was inserted to different depths (1.5 and 3 mm). Eight casts were built, each having four sample molars. To block the teeth, the vestibular roots were embedded in resin (palatal root was left free). The eight remaining retrofilled teeth served as controls and were not submitted to occlusal forces. A mechanical device to simulate masticatory cycles subjected the teeth to 500,000 to three million cycles. Leakage was assessed from dye penetration observations. The values of microleakage were analyzed and compared, and strain gauges were used to assess structural modifications to the tooth. The leakage of all retrofilled obturations increased in correlation with the number of masticatory cycles. At three million cycles, root length compression was 0.3 +/- 0.02%. Leakage was significantly less for the deeper cavity preparations at all stages. This in vitro study suggests a significant effect by root compression due to masticatory loads on the leakage of retrofilled amalgam obturations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the ability of methylene blue solutions of different concentration, pH, and time exposure to remove the smear layer from resected root-ends. STUDY DESIGN Resected root-ends were treated with either 2% methylene blue dye for intervals of 5 to 11 minutes or 1% methylene blue for 7 to 9 minutes and examined with a scanning electron microscope for smear layer removal. Two minute applications of saline solution and 50% citric acid served as controls. RESULTS All methylene blue solutions were found to be ineffective in removing the smear layer at all time intervals tested. An experimental solution of 1% methylene blue in 50% citric acid was found to predictably remove the smear layer during a 2 minute application and retained all the favorable staining characteristics of the dye. Fifty percent citric acid solutions applied for 3 minutes appeared to overdemineralize the root-end and gave poorer results than 2 minute applications. CONCLUSIONS Smear layer removal was pH dependent. Methylene blue solutions are clinically unsuitable for smear layer removal.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study was conducted to compare microleakage of two new dentin bonding agents on freshly extracted teeth, cryopreserved teeth, or teeth stored in water containing 0.5% chloramine at 4 degrees C. METHODS Rectangular Class V cavity preparations were made on the buccal and the lingual surface of wisdom teeth. They were filled with either Scotchbond Multi-Purpose and Z100 (3M Dental Products) or with Gluma 2000 and Pekafill (Bayer Dental). After thermocycling, silver staining penetration was evaluated under a light microscope. SEM examination and EDX analysis were performed to evaluate the microleakage pattern. The results were analyzed by the use of a two-way analysis of variance. RESULTS Cryopreservation for 13 wk or 12 d refrigeration did not produce changes in the amount of microleakage. However, 48 d or longer of refrigeration increased microleakage. There was no correlation between changes in microleakage and storage time. Specimens prepared with both dentin bonding agents exhibited the same microleakage values and the same microleakage pattern. SIGNIFICANCE Refrigeration at 4 degrees C in 0.5% chloramine for 48 d or longer may cause an increase in microleakage. Cryopreservation for 13 wk or short-term refrigeration did not affect the microleakage.

Abstract
The feasibility of utilizing mercury-free Gallium alloy GF for retrograde filling was investigated by comparing apical microleakage in 184 extracted human teeth. The teeth were divided into four experimental and two control groups. Three experimental groups were apical cavity retrofillings with the Gallium alloy GF, a mercury-containing amalgam, and a glass ionomer. The fourth experimental group was filled with gutta-percha and heat-burnished after apicoectomy. After 24 h, 1 wk, 4 wk, and 12 wk immersion in dye solution, the roots were vertically sectioned, and the deepest point of dye penetration was recorded. The glass ionomer showed the least leakage, followed by the amalgam group and the gallium group (no significant difference). The gutta-percha heat-burnished group displayed the greatest leakage. Gallium alloy GF was shown to have an equivalent sealing potential to dental amalgam for a retrograde filling material.
