“…The results of previous studies showed no significant differences between Epiphany/Resilon and AH plus/gutta-percha root canal filling materials in terms of the apical sealing ability when the root canals were irrigated with NaOCl [27][28][29] . The findings of the current study are consistent with these studies in spite of different obturation technique and leakage assessment method.…”

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the effect of three irrigating solutions on the apical sealing ability of three endodontic sealers when the continuous wave obturation technique was used. Materials and Methods: 100 maxillary central incisors were decoronated and roots were divided into three experimental groups (n=30 each) according to the type of irrigating solution, and two control groups (n=5 each). Each experimental group was divided equally into three subgroups according to the type of obturation system. All canals were instrumented using ProTaper Universal rotary system and irrigated with 3% sodium hypochlorite (Group 1), 2% chlorohexidine (Group 2), and 3% hydrogen peroxide (Group 3), followed by 17% EDTA and distilled water. Continuous wave technique was used to obturate root canals with the following combinations: MTA Fillapex/ Gutta-percha (Subgroup A), AH Plus/Gutta-percha (Subgroup B) and Realseal SE/Realseal (Subgroup C). The apical microleakage was assessed using linear dye penetration method and the data were statistically analyzed. Results: Significant differences were found between all groups (P<0.05). All root canal sealers after irrigation with 3% hydrogen peroxide showed the lowest amounts of apical leakage. Samples irrigated with 3% sodium hypochlorite or 2% chlorohexidine showed the highest amounts of apical leakage. Conclusions: The type of irrigating solution could affect the apical sealing ability of experimental sealers when used with the continuous wave obturation technique. Root canal irrigation with 3% hydrogen peroxide + 17% EDTA increased the sealing ability of all root canal sealers. Root canal irrigation with 3% sodium hypochlorite 2% chlorohexidine + 17% EDTA decreased the sealing ability of all root canal sealers.

“…Also Borges et al (39) used scanning electron microscopy to show that porosities and cracks occurred in the resin matrix of MTA Fillapex after subjecting to solubility test by immersion in water after setting, which might affect its molecular stability. On contrary, Ferreira et al (40) stated that MTA-based sealers showed reduction in leakage values over time, which could be attributed to the volumetric expansion after setting.…”

MTA, salicylate cement, natural resin, bismuth and silica (4). MTA Fillapex is the first two paste MTA-based root canal sealer. According to the manufacturers its MTAbased composition provides a perfect sealing integrity and high biological regeneration (5). Adseal sealer (Meta Biomed Co, Korea) is a resinbased sealer. It contains epoxy resin, zirconium oxide, Ethylene glycol salycilate, and bismuth subcarbonate. Available in two paste-containing tubes (6), it has good adaptation to canal walls, low solubility, good flow and good radiopacity (7).

“…19 Studies by Sonmez et al 20 and Ferreira et al 9 showed that MTA Fillapex resulted in more microleakage than AH Plus and Topseal, respectively, when irrigating the canals with NaOCl and EDTA. The results of the current study were found to be consistent with these.…”

Background. Maximum sealing ability or adhesion of endodontic sealers can be achieved after effective removal of the smear layer. Endodontic irrigants assist in adequate removal of the smear layer, improving the retention mechanism. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of two different root canal irrigation solutions (5.25% NaOCl followed by 17% EDTA and QMix) on the apical sealing ability of two different root canal sealers (MTA Fillapex and Adseal).Methods. Forty-six single-canal teeth were divided into 4 experimental groups of 10 teeth each and a positive and negative group of 3 teeth each. The root canals were prepared using step-back technique. The teeth in groups 1 and 2 were irrigated with 5.25% NaOCl followed by 17% EDTA and the teeth in groups 3 and 4 were irrigated with QMix. Finally all the teeth were flushed with sterile saline and dried using paper points. Obturation was accomplished by gutta-percha using lateral condensation technique. MTA Fillapex sealer was used in groups 1 and 3 whereas Adseal was used in groups 2 and 4. Dye penetration method was used to evaluate apical leakage. Data were analyzed with Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests using SPSS 14. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05.Results. Group 3 showed maximum amount of apical leakage (3.7±0.3 mm) whereas group 2 exhibited the least amount of apical leakage (2.1 ± 0.4 mm) among all the experimental groups. Significant differences were found in the amount of apical leakage between all the groups (P = 0.00001).Conclusion. Within the limitations of this study, 5.25% sodium hypochlorite followed by 17% EDTA and Adseal resulted in the best apical seal.
