| Summary: | Introduction: Endodontic treatment includes different phases
like controlling the growth of microorganism, thorough cleaning
and shaping and fluid-tight seal. Sealer plays an important role
in Root Canal Treatment (RCT). Sealer fills the space between
filling material and dentin. Sealer also acts as a lubricant. Sealer
has ability to fill the spaces and prevent microleakege from
the root canal. Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) is a calcium
silicate based sealer which has high radiopacity, low solubility
and good antibacterial activity.
Aim: To evaluate push-out bond strength of MTA as a root
canal sealer.
Materials and Methods: Studies which were published in
English, studies with different years of publication were included.
Studies which includes bond strength of MTA as Endodontic
Sealer to dentinal wall were also included. Studies used in this
review were in-vitro studies and clinical trials. Studies showing
tissue toxicity, biocompatibility of MTA were excluded. Also,
case reports and in-vivo studies were excluded. All abstracts as
well as full texts were studied. PubMed/Medline, Web of Science
and Scopus were used for this study. Keywords used were “root
canal sealer”, “push-out bond strength”, “MTA”. Total 18 articles
were collected. But only five articles fulfilled the inclusion and
exclusion criteria. So only five articles were included in this study
and discussed in detail.
Results: According to the results, of articles which were chosen
for this study stated that MTA can be used as an endodontic
sealer though it shows lesser push-out bond strength when
compared with different newer sealers.
Conclusion: In this systematic review, only one in-vitro study
showed that Proroot MTA used as root canal sealer exhibits
high push-out bond strength than other sealers like MTA
Fillapex sealer and AH plus sealer. While MTA Fillapex show
lesser push-out bond strength in comparison with other sealers
like Proroot MTA sealer, AH plus, Endo CPM sealer. So this
systematic review partially fulfills the hypothesis as it gives a
utility of Proroot MTA as a root canal sealer. |
