Abstract
This study evaluated the retreatability of two bioceramic-based sealers in oval-shaped canals and the effectiveness of supplementary cleaning techniques for removing sealer remnants. Mandibular premolars were obturated with either NeoSEALER Flo or AH Plus Bioceramic. After obturation, specimens were retreated followed by supplementary cleaning with XP-Endo Finisher R, EasyClean, or passive ultrasonic irrigation. Sealer remnants were analysed using confocal laser scanning microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. AH Plus Bioceramic showed a significantly lower residual sealer percentage than NeoSEALER Flo in the coronal and middle thirds. XP-Endo Finisher R was more effective for NeoSEALER Flo in the apical third, while passive ultrasonic irrigation was superior for AH Plus Bioceramic in the coronal and middle thirds. Scanning electron microscopy revealed sealer remnants in all groups, with partial obstruction of dentinal tubules. Bioceramic sealers exhibit different retreatability, and supplementary cleaning protocols improved sealer removal, but none achieved complete canal wall cleanliness.
期刊介绍:
The Australian Endodontic Journal provides a forum for communication in the different fields that encompass endodontics for all specialists and dentists with an interest in the morphology, physiology, and pathology of the human tooth, in particular the dental pulp, root and peri-radicular tissues.
The Journal features regular clinical updates, research reports and case reports from authors worldwide, and also publishes meeting abstracts, society news and historical endodontic glimpses.
The Australian Endodontic Journal is a publication for dentists in general and specialist practice devoted solely to endodontics. It aims to promote communication in the different fields that encompass endodontics for those dentists who have a special interest in endodontics.
