| Summary: | Introduction: Furcation perforation can have a negative impact
on the prognosis of the affected tooth by compromising the
attached apparatus. Hence these perforations require immediate
repair. A variety of materials have been suggested for repair, of
that MTA is the most promising material. The purpose of this
study was to compare the ability of Gray and White MTA to
seal furcation perforations using a dye extraction method under
spectrophotometer.
Materials and Methods: A total of 60 permanent mandibular
molars were randomly divided into four experimental groups
of 15 samples each as follows: Group A: Perforation repaired
with White MTA. Group B: Perforation repaired with Gray MTA.
Group C: Perforation left unsealed (positive). Group D: without
perforation (negative). Dye extraction was performed using
full concentration nitric acid. Dye absorbance was measured
at 550 nm using spectrophotometer. The data analyzed using
one-way-Anova Ratio and Unpaired t-test showing statistically
significance difference among the groups.
Result: It was seen that Group D samples without perforation
showed least absorbance followed by Group A (perforation
repaired with White MTA) and Group B (perforation repaired
with Gray MTA). Group C (perforation left unsealed) showed
highest absorbance.
Conclusion: The White and Gray Mineral Trioxide Aggregate
performed similarly as a furcation perforation repair material.
There was no significant difference between the Gray MTA and
White MTA. |
