Dentinal tubule penetration of AH Plus, iRoot SP, MTA fillapex, and guttaflow bioseal root canal sealers after different final irrigation procedures: A confocal microscopic study.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:Varied physical and chemical characteristic of root canal sealers and different irrigant agitation systems can influence the depth of penetration. The aim of this in vitro study was to use a laser scanning confocal microscope in order to assess the dentinal tubules penetration of various sealers after the application of different final irrigation techniques. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS:A total of 156 single-rooted extracted mandibular premolars were prepared up to size 40 and randomly distributed into four groups according to the sealer type (n = 39): AH Plus, iRoot SP, MTA Fillapex, and GF Bioseal. Each group was randomly subdivided into three groups according to the final irrigation protocol (n = 13): conventional needle irrigation (CI), photon-induced-photoacoustic streaming activation (PIPS), and passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI). After the final irrigation procedures, the root canals were obturated with single gutta-percha and labeled sealer mixed with 0.1% fluorescent rhodamine B isothiocyanate. Specimens were sectioned at 2, 5, and 8 mm from the apex, and all the sections were examined under confocal microscope to calculate the dentinal tubule penetration area. Data were analyzed using three-way analysis of variance and Tukey's post hoc tests (P = 0.05). RESULTS:iRoot SP exhibited a significantly higher penetration area than the other groups (P < 0.001), although there were no statistically significant differences between AH Plus, MTA Fillapex, and GF Bioseal (P > 0.05). Er:YAG laser activation with PIPS and PUI had significantly higher penetration than CI (P < 0.001). Statistically significant differences were also determined at each root canal third (coronal > middle > apical; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS:The dentinal tubule penetration area was significantly affected by the selection of root canal sealer, final irrigation procedure, and root canal third. Use of iRoot with PIPS tip or PUI seems advantageous in dentinal tubule penetration.
