PENETRATION DEPTH OF RECENT BIOCERAMIC ROOT CANAL SEALERS TO DENTIN: AN IN VITRO STUDY
Department of Endodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Suez Canal University, Ismailia
Abstract
Background: Bioceramic sealers have been developed for 30 years to be used in endodontics, they are ceramic materials that include zirconia, alumina, glass ceramics, bioactive glass, calcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite with superior biological and physical properties. Aim: To determine the effect of CeraSeal and Bio-C Sealer on penetration depth in a comparison with AH Plus using confocal laser scanning electron microscope (CLSM). Material and methods: This research was approved by the ethics committee of Suez Canal University-Egypt (No.256 /2020), thirty-three single rooted human premolars were extracted, collected and divided randomly into three groups according to sealer type AH Plus, Bio-C Sealer and CeraSeal. Each group (n=11), before obturation, Rhodamine B dye was mixed with each sealer, then obturation done using single cone technique, after that the samples were cut in cross-sectional direction at (3, 6 and 9 mm) to determine the depth of penetration using CLSM. Results: For the maximum depth of penetration, Bio-C Sealer showed the maximum penetration, with no statistically significant difference between the three sealers. While the results of penetration %, showed that the Bio-C sealer had the best penetration percentage with statistically significant difference between the three sealers. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, Bio-C sealer showed the best penetration into dentinal tubules between the tested sealers.
