Evaluation of apical obturation quality of diferent endodontic materials

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the quality of apical obturation of different endodontic materials, using the colored solutions method. As a material, we used 40 single-rooted teeth, extracted from persons of different ages and sex. We did the root-canals preparation using standard endodontical procedure with KERR reamers and files. After we had prepared root canals, we filled them up, using the lentulo-spirals and Gutta-percha points. For the opturation, we used four different endodontic materials aП26, Ketac Endo, Endomethasone and Sealapex. Under the in vitro conditions, we checked the quality of the apical opturation, using the linear dye leakage method and 2 % methylen blue solution. According to results, we can conclude that endodontic materials AH26 (x=1, 37) and Ketac Endo (x=1,17) showed a significantly lower degree of apical leakage than Endomethasone (x=2. 51) and Sealapex (x=3,25).

Cilj ovoga rada je bio da se metodom bojenih rastvora proveri kvalitet apeksne opturacije različitih endodontskih materijala. Kao materijal, korišćeno je 40 ekstrahovanih jednokorenih zuba osoba različitog uzrasta i pola. Preparacija kanala urađena je standardnom endodontskom procedurom - primenom KERR proširivača i turpija (15-50). Endodontski pripremljeni kanali su napunjeni pomoću lentulo-spirale i mono-gutaperka konusa, a za opturaciju su upotrebljena četiri različita endodontska materijala: AH26, Ketac Endo Endomethasonc i Sealapex. Kvalitet apeksne opturacije proveravan je u in vitro Listovima metodom linearnog prodora boje i primenom rastvora 2 % metilen plavila. Na osnovu dobijenih rezultata, može se zaključiti da su endodontski materijali Ketac Endo ( x= 1,17) i At 126 (x=l,37), pokazali značajno manji stepen apeksne propusti]ivosti od Endomethasone-a (x=2,51) i Scalapex-a(x=3,25).
