Quantitative microleakage study on a new retrograde filling technique

International Endodontic Journal

Abstract

An in vitro endodontic leakage model was used to compare the sealing ability of conventional retrograde amalgam fillings with a new retrograde filling technique by measuring dye leakage quantitatively. The new technique consisted of retrograde preparation of the root canal using the Endocursor, an endodontic handpiece. The canal was then filled with sealer and injection-moulded gutta-percha, using either the Hygenic Ultrafil system or the Unitek Obtura method. In both cases the gutta-percha was vertically condensed and subsequently cold-burnished. The two experimental groups and the amalgam group each consisted of 20 extracted human canine teeth and lower premolars. The results were analysed statistically by ANOVA and a Student-Newman-Keuls multiple comparison test. After 1 week at 37 degrees C, very little leakage was observed in the amalgam and gutta-percha groups. After a second week, during which leakage was enhanced by gas pressure, leakage in the amalgam group was significantly greater than that in the gutta-percha groups (P less than 0.01). There were no significant differences between the two experimental gutta-percha groups. It is concluded that the new retrograde filling technique causes less leakage than the conventi...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.
