| Abstract | |
The aim of this study was to evaluate the change in collagen structure and organization present in the organic matrix of the dentine wall of the root canals of bovine inferior incisors as well as the topography of the inorganic matrix after irrigation with 5.25% sodium hypochlorite, 17% EDTA and 2% chlorexidine gel. Sixty bovine incisors were randomly divided into six groups of 10: G1 - 5.25% Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl) and 17% EDTA; G2 - 2% Chlorexidine gel; G3 - 5.25% NaOCl; G4 - 17% EDTA; G5 - 2% Chlorexidine gel and 17% EDTA; G6 (Control) - 0.9% Sodium chloride. A parallel analysis was performed with 10 teeth which had not been submitted to any treatment. Hence, it was possible to obtain parameters for the birefringence characteristic of non-instrumented inferior bovine incisors. Experimental samples were submitted to instrumentation and irrigation with different auxiliary chemical substances and then segmented in two. One fragment was histologically processed using picrosirius pigment. Its optical retardations were measured through polarization microscopy. The second fragment was prepared to be evaluated through scanning electron microscopy. The optic retardation measurement data were submitted to statistical analysis using Dunnet?s test. Results revealed that the groups that associated or not 2% chlorexidine gel and 17% EDTA were not statistically different in relation to the control group. For the groups which 5.25% NaOCl was used, associated or not to 17% EDTA, the average optic retardations were statistically different to the control group. Therefore, 5.25% sodium hypochlorite proved to cause alterations to the molecular organization of collagen present in the organic matrix of root dentine of bovine teeth. Scanning electron microscopy showed structural alterations of the inorganic matrix of all groups tested with 17% EDTA (AU) | |
