Fulltext PDFCalcium hydroxide is widely used as intracanal medicament. However calcium hydroxide is very difficult to remove completely from the root canal.This may cause pooradaptation of root canal filling material to canal wall leading to microleakage and subsequently failure of root canal treatment.
The purpose of this in-vitro study is to compare the sealing ability of five different sealers when calcium hydroxide is used as an intracanal medicament.
METHODOLOGY- 50 extracted teeth with single root canal anatomy will be selected.The teeth were kept to a standardized length of 16mm from the apex. Access cavities were prepared and canals were prepared upto working length to size 40 with K-files by step back technique. Calcium hydroxide was placed as an intracanal medicament. Access cavities were sealed with temporary cement and incubated for 7 days at 37ºC.Following the removal of dressing after 7 days, teeth were divided into five groups of ten samples each based on the sealer used.
Group 1-Zinc oxide eugenol based sealer should be used for obturation.
Group 2- Resin based sealer
Group 3- Calcium hydroxide based sealer
Group 4- MTA based sealer.
Group 5- Bioceramic based sealer
