Abstract
prevention of persistent infection and re-infections of root canal is an ideal treatment usually achieved by counter-balancing the bacterial invasions, destruction of bacterial biofilms, thorough debridement and complete sealing of the root canal anatomy. Among all the most widely accepted and successful anticipations in a root canal therapy is a perfect hermetic three dimensional seal. Our study thus
AIMED to evaluate and compare the accuracy of marginal adaptation and tubular penetration of three different sealers with respect to the cervical, middle and apical third of the root canal.
MATERIAL AND METHODOLOGY: 45 single rooted extracted teeth were obtained from the oral surgery department and stored in plastic vials containing artificial saliva. The teeth were then randomly divided into three groups with 15 specimens in each group. Root canal therapies were completed according to the single visit protocol and the canal were eventually filled using a specific sealer. In Group A, bio-root RCS, in Group B, AH plus and in Group C, Sealapex sealers were with single cone technique. The specimens were then sectioned at apical, middle and cervical third and evaluated using electron microscopy.
RESULTS: the data collected was analyzed statistically using means and inter and intragroup comparisons were done using two way ANOVA test. On evaluating the results, statistically significant results were obtained among all the three groups.
CONCLUSION: the results of our study concluded that experience, proper root canal preparations and genuine obturation techniques can provide an absolute marginal adaptability irrespective of the sealers used.
