Purpose
The aim of this study was to compare the
short and long term apical sealing ability of different root canal sealers.
Materials and methods
Fifty-five extracted human anterior
single-root teeth were used. The coronal part of each tooth was removed and the
root canals were prepared with NiTi rotary instruments. Teeth were divided into
5 study groups; Group I: MTA Fillapex (Angelus, Brazil); Group II: Sealapex
(Sybron-Kerr, Romulus, MI, USA) and Group III: AH Plus (Dentsply, Konstanz,
Germany) (n=15) and negative and positive control groups (n=5). The quality of
root canal sealing was assessed by a fluid filtration method performed at 24 h
and 180-day time intervals. Kruskal Wallis and Mann Whitney U tests were used
to compare the groups.
Results
At 24 h evaluation, MTA Fillapex presented
significantly less microleakage than the Sealapex and AH Plus (p<0.05). At
long term interval (180-day), Sealapex and AH Plus presented significantly less
microleakage than the MTA Fillapex (p<0.05).
Conclusion
Sealapex and AH Plus showed significantly
better sealing abilities than MTA Fillapex in the long term.
