An ex vivo evaluation of a gutta-percha filling technique when used with two endodontic sealers: analysis of the filling of main and lateral canals

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate both the precision of filling and the extension of voids in main root canals as well as filling of lateral canals after using a two-phase filling technique with two sealers. Twenty-four maxillary and 26 mandibular molars were selected and randomly assigned to two groups. Root canals were instrumented and then filled using the vertical compaction with the apical backfilling technique, with Pulp Canal Sealer (EWT) in group "A" and AH Plus in group "B." After clearing, voids within the filled main canals were measured by using a stereomicroscope. In addition, visible lateral canals were counted, each unfilled space was measured, and five ratings (0-4) were fixed. In both groups, in the most apical 4 mm of main canals, where gutta-percha was cold compacted, lesser voids (p <or= 0.05) were found than in the middle-coronal thirds backfilled with thermomechanical compaction. In group "B," more precision (p <or= 0.05) and lesser voids (p <or= 0.05) were found than in group "A." Regarding lateral canals, better filling scores (p <or= 0.05) were found in group "B" than in group "A." In both groups, better filling scores (p <or= 0.05) were found at the coronal levels than at the middle ones and at the...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
