Evaluation of bioceramics and zirconia-reinforced glass ionomer cement in repair of furcation perforations: An in vitro study.
Journal of Conservative Dentistry : JCD 2018 March
Aim: The aim and objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the sealing ability of EndoSequence BC RRM-fast set putty, Proroot mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), and Zirconomer in the repair of furcal perforation by measuring dye leakage under stereomicroscope.
Methodology: A standard access cavity was made on forty-eight extracted mandibular and maxillary first molars followed by creating a furcal perforation in the center of the pulp chamber by using No. 4 round bur (creating a perforation of 2 mm diameter). Teeth were categorized into 4 groups containing 12 samples in each group based on material used for furcation repair. Group 1 - Endosequence BC RRM-fast set putty; Group 2 - Zirconomer; Group 3-MTA (positive control); Group 4 - negative control. All groups were covered with two layers of clear varnish except for 2 mm around the perforation region. All the teeth were immersed in 2% methylene blue dye for 48 h for dye penetration. Teeth were sectioned buccolingually using a diamond disk. The sectioned teeth were examined under stereomicroscope with ×10 magnification for dye penetration.
Results: Endosequence showed less microleakage than MTA but not statistically significant. Zirconomer showed statistically significant higher microleakage.
Conclusion: Endosequence and MTA showed less microleakage hence can be used as furcation repair materials. Due to higher microleakage, Zirconomer should be avoided as furcation repair material. Due to its favorable cost, ready availability, and almost similar outcome as bioceramics, MTA is considered as an alternative to Endosequence and is the gold standard in furcation repair.
