Evaluation of Microleakage in Endodontically Treated Teeth with Two Different Types of Sealers: Bioceramic Based Sealer and AH26; An in vitro Study
Year: 2017
Type: article
Abstract: This is an in vitro study aimed to compare the sealing ability of Bioceramic sealer and AH26 and to evaluate the effectiveness of Bioceramic sealer when used with Bioceramic coated gutta-percha cones or conventional gutta-percha cones. In this study thirty single rooted premolars were instrumented and divided into 3 groups; group A, B and C. Total 10 teeth in each group, group (A) samples were obturated with conventional gutta percha cones and AH26 sealer, group (B) samples were obturated with conventional gutta perchacones and Bioceramic sealer. Group (C), samples were obturated with Bioceramic coated gutta percha cones and Boceramic sealer. Samples were then stored for one week, then were immersed in 1% methylene blue dye for 72 hours. The samples were then sectioned and dye penetration was evaluated under stereomicroscope. Data obtained was subjected to statistical analysis using one-way ANOVA with post hoc (LSD) test using SPSS statistical software (version 21.0). There was a statistically significant difference in the apical dye micro-leakage values between the groups (P<0.05). Bioceramic sealer and gutta-percha showed significantly better apical seal. The highest apical dye leakage was seen in group B while the lowest dye leakage was seen with group C.
