“…Fluoride varnish has shown satisfying adhesion and durability on the dentin surface [12]. Its application as a root canal sealer indicated favorable results in studies conducted by Parirokh et al [13] and Rao et al [14]. In the current study, the mean gap size was 14.407±1.0402 μm in the AH-Plus group and 8.342±0.694 μm in the fluoride varnish group.…”

“…Accordingly, resin-based sealers seem to have an appropriate adaptation to the canal for two reasons, namely mechanical retention [27,28] and no polymerization shrinkage [29]. Parirokh et al [13] and Rao et al [14] used a 5% fluoride varnish as a root canal sealer and compared the results versus using AH-26 and AH-Plus sealers in terms of bacterial leakage. They observed that fluoride varnish, used as a root canal sealer, had satisfying sealing quality [13,14].…”

“…In addition, the natural resins in the composition of fluoride varnishes could create an additional protective barrier on the dentin surface [12]. Recently, two studies used fluoride varnish as a root canal sealer and reported satisfactory results concerning its sealing properties compared to 14]. Duofluoride XII (FGM, Joinville, SC, Brazil) is a dual fluoride varnish with proven efficacy for prevention of dental caries [15].…”

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the dentin adaptability of a certain type of fluoride varnish, as a novel root canal sealer, in comparison with AH-Plus sealer. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four extracted single-rooted, single-canal human permanent teeth with straight and fully formed roots and no internal calcification, resorption or cracks, were selected and decoronated such that the remaining root length was 14 mm in all teeth. Root canals were prepared using the Mtwo rotary file system according to the manufacturer's instructions and filled with gutta-percha and either AH-Plus (n=12) or fluoride varnish (n=12) via the lateral compaction technique. Each root was then sectioned at 4 and 8 mm distances from the apex for evaluation under a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The gap size between the sealer and dentin was measured. Statistical analysis was performed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and t-test with the significance level set at 0.05. Results: The mean gap size was 14.407±1.402 µm and 8.342±0.694 µm in the roots obturated with AH-Plus and fluoride varnish sealers, respectively. The t-test revealed a statistically significant difference (P<0.001) in this regard between the two groups. Conclusion: Fluoride varnish, as a root canal sealer, has a superior adaptation to dentinal canal walls compared to the AH-Plus sealer.

“…Fluoride varnish is commonly used as a cariostatic solution for caries prevention, as a coating material for avulsed teeth with delayed replantation and also for the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity [19,20]. Fluoride varnish, combined with zinc oxide eugenol and calcium hydroxide, was recently used as a root canal filling material in primary teeth [20]. Evidence shows that fluoride varnish has optimal sealing ability and biocompatibility comparable to those of AH 26 [21].…”

Background and Objectives: Endodontic sealers are used to fill the gap between the root filling material and canal walls. Retrievability is an important requirement for sealers and root filling materials in non-surgical endodontic retreatment. This study sought to assess the retreatability of fluoride varnish, AH 26 and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA)-based sealers using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: This in vitro, experimental study evaluated 45 extracted single-rooted, single-canal human mandibular premolars. Teeth with cracks or fracture were excluded. The root canals were prepared using ProTaper Universal rotary system up to size F4 according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The teeth were then randomly divided into three groups of 5% fluoride varnish, AH 26 and MTA Fillapex. CBCT scans were obtained of the teeth with 200 μm voxel size. MATLAB R2012 software was used to quantify the amount of sealer remaining in the canal. Two observers evaluated the images. Data were analyzed using SPSS via the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann Whitney tests. Results: The amount of sealer remaining in the root canals was significantly different among the three groups (P<0.05). The amount of AH 26 sealer remaining in the root canals (1.91±1.46) was significantly greater than MTA Fillapex (0.62±0.26) and fluoride varnish, but the latter two were not significantly different in this respect (P>0.05). Conclusion: Considering the adequate adhesion of fluoride varnish to dentin, its cariostatic effect and low cost, it seems to be a suitable alternative to the commonly used endodontic sealers.

New fluoride MI Varnish as root canal sealer: An in vitro analysis of bacterial leakage

Abstract: It can be concluded from the present study that fluoride varnish can be used as a root canal sealer. However, further in vitro and in vivo studies are required.
