Evaluation Of Sealing Ability Of Biodentine, MTA Angelus And Zirconia-Reinforced Glass Ionomer Cement For Repairing Furcation Perforations : An In Vitro Study

Sealing Ability Of Biodentine, MTA Angelus And Zirconia-Reinforced Glass Ionomer Cement

Abstract

Background: Background and objective: One of the unfavourable outcomes of endodontic treatment is furcal perforation. Materials such as MTA-Angelus, Biodentine and Zirconomer have been recommended for the repair of furcal perforations.In this study we compared the sealing ability of MTA-Angelus, Biodentine and Zirconia-reinforced GIC in furcal perforations using dye penetration method. Material And Methods: Access cavities were prepared in extracted mandibular molars (n= 40) using round bur in a high speed hand piece under water coolant. Perforations were made in the centre of furcation region using 2mm round bur. The teeth were randomly divided into 4 groups based on the material used to seal the perforation: Group I(n= 12) = MTA – Angelus , Group II (n=12)= Biodentine , Group III(n=12) = Zirconomer , Group IV (n= 4) = left unsealed (negative control group).Leakage at the repaired site was then evaluated using methylene blue dye penetration technique under stereomicroscope and data was statistically analyzed. Result: Minimum dye penetration was observed in biodentine followed by MTA, Zirconomer and control group. The results was not statistically significant (p= .08). Conclusion: According to this study, biodentine showed best of the three materials used for furcation repair. [Sneha Natl J Integr Res Med, 2022; 13(4): 18-22, Published on Dated: 10/07/2022]
