Homogenity And Sealing Ability Of GuttaFlow® As Root Canal Filling Material
Ahmed Mohammed Abd Elhamid Sobieh;
Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate the homogenity and sealing ability of GuttaFlow as an obturating material .
In this study sixty human single rooted teeth were used to evaluate homogenity and sealing of GuttaFlow as an obturating material . All sixty teeth were decoronated and cleaned from any hard and soft tissue deposits , leaving roots with 16mm in length .
These roots were divided into three groups , group 1 (GuttaFlow with single cone ) , group 2(GuttaFlow with lateral condensation) , and group 3(AHPlus with lateral condensation) according to technique of obturation and material used.
Evaluation of homogeneity :
This was done through measuring the radio opacity of the obturating materials used and the amount of voids present.
a. Radio opacity :
CBCT used to scan all sixty samples and through its specific software the obturating materials marked and the amount of radio opacity measured in bone density unit (HU).
Voids :
Only ten teeth of each group were used . To calculate the ratio of voids under stereo microscope in apical, middle, and coronal thirds .
Evaluation of sealing ability :
The other ten teeth were cleared by using Robertsonʼs clearing technique (, then immersed in Indian ink after covering it with nail polish leaving apical third only.
Results :
Statistical analysis of results regarding radio opacity showed that radio opacity of group 1 significantly lower than that of group 2 and group 3. While regarding voids The results shown that ratio of voids in group 1 was higher than the ratio of voids in group 2and group 3 and regarding to leakage The results shown that dye penetration (leakage) in group 1 was higher than in group 2 and group 3 .
