Microleakage of endodontic temporary restorative materials.
This study compared the sealing of Caviton, Cavit, and IRM at two powder to liquid ratios of 6 g/ml and 2 g/ml. Standard endodontic access preparations were made in 140 noncarious, nonrestored crowns of extracted human molars. They were divided into six groups, including positive and negative controls. Microleakage assessment was evaluated by basic fuchsin dye penetration after thermal cycling (5 to 55 degrees C for 100 cycles). The results indicated that Caviton provided the best seal, followed by Cavit. Cavit demonstrated better sealing than IRM at the powder to liquid ratio of 6 g/ml and 2 g/ml. There was a statistically significant difference in leakage between the Cavit group and IRM (powder to liquid = 6 g/ml), between the Cavit group and IRM (powder to liquid = 2 g/ml) group (p < 0.05). However, no statistically significant difference between the two different powder to liquid ratio groups of IRM was disclosed.
