Abstract

Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate marginal adaptation properties of five different sealers used as root filling material.

Materials: Apical resection was performed on 100 canals of 50 maxillary premolars in slaughtered pigs. The root end of 24 canals were retrogradely filled with Diaket™, 37 root canals with Super-EBA™ including 18 with Super-EBA™. Regular and 19 with Super-EBA™ fast, 20 canals with ProRoot^® MTA and 19 canals with AH-Plus™. For quantitative examination, scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis and for qualitative examination, microradiography was performed.

Results: Diaket™ achieved an overall average of 4.872 microns gap value as the best result. The mean values of marginal gap widths of AH-Plus™ and Super-EBA™ were almost with 8.044 microns and 9.951 microns in about the same magnitude, followed by Super-EBA™ Regular with 11,560 microns. Highest marginal gap value was found for ProRoot^® MTA with 18.343 microns ( p < 0.001).

Conclusions: Both in terms of its marginal integrity and material properties, Diaket™ is the most suitable material for retrograde obturation. A preliminary version of the current paper could be found at http:www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-6198/v1.
