Influence of the sealer and a plug in coronal leakage after post space preparation
The subject of this paper was to conduct an in vitro study of the coronal leakage after root canal filling and post space preparation. One hundred single-rooted human teeth had their crowns removed and the canals prepared and filled by the lateral condensation technique with gutta-percha points and the sealers CRCS and Endofill (a Grossman cement). After post space preparation, the remainder of the filling was protected or not with 1mm of a plug of the following materials: Coltosol, Super Bonder (cyanoacrylate-ester), CRCS and Endofill. After 24 hours in saline, the specimens were immersed in a 2% methylene blue solution in a vacuum environment for 24 hours. The teeth were then sectioned longitudinally, leakage was evaluated linearly and the obtained data were submitted to the Kruskal-Wallis test. The results with the two sealers studied were similar between themselves and worse (p<0.01) than the groups with a protector plug. The statistical analysis ordered the experimental groups from the best to the worst in the following way: a - Endofill-Super Bonder, CRCS-Super Bonder, CRCS-CRCS; b - Endofill-Endofill; c - Endofill-Coltosol, CRCS-Coltosol; d - Endofill, CRCS.
