Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the penetration of a new endodontic sealer into the dentinal tubules. Twenty single-rooted teeth were selected. The crown was sectioned, and the canals were instrumented with a reciprocating system. Irrigation was performed with 2mL of 2.5% sodium hypochlorite between each file change. After instrumentation, the root canals were irrigated with 2 mL of17% EDTA for 3 min followed by saline solution. The specimens were randomized into two groups (n =10) according to the endodontic sealer: AH Plus (AP) or Sealer Plus (SP). All specimens were filled using the lateral compaction technique. Rhodamine B dye (red) was incorporated to the sealers to provide the fluorescence which will enable confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) assessment. The roots were sectioned 2, 4, and 6mm from the apex and assessed by CLSM. The root canal level affected the penetration of the sealer, but no statistical significant differences were found between the two experimental groups (p >.05). SP presented similar dentinal penetration and perimeter integrity to the gold standard (AP). Research HighlightsSealer Plus presents dentinal penetrability and perimeter integrity similar to the gold standard sealer (AH Plus), demonstrating excellent ability of filling areas of difficult access.
