| Summary: | Introduction: The coronal leakage of bacteria and other
irritants to the root canal system is one of the main factors that
may result in clinical failure and affect the long term success of
endodontic treatment. The Resilon/Epiphany obturation system
has been developed as an alternative to gutta-percha and
traditional sealers.
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the coronal
leakage between Resilon obturation material and gutta-percha
using the same sealer.
Materials and Methods: In this invitro study, 72 freshly extracted
single-rooted human teeth were used, and were sectioned at
CEJ with 13mm length. The roots were randomly divided into
four groups. In Group I, 30 roots were obturated using Resilon
and Epiphany SE sealer, Group II, 30 roots were obturated using
gutta-percha and Epiphany SE. Group III and Group IV, 12 roots
were used as control groups (positive and negative). The coronal
leakage was measured using the dye penetration technique. Data
were statistically analysed by a One-Way ANOVA test.
Results: There was a significant difference between the two
experimental groups where Resilon revealed less microleakage
than gutta-percha group (p <0.05).
Conclusion: Resilon is a suitable replacement for gutta-percha
on the basis of its increased resistance to microleakage, but it
failed to provide complete hermetic coronal sealing. |
