Comparative study of sealing ability of two root-end-filling materials with and without the use of dentin-bonding agents.
The purpose of this study was to examine microleakage of two root-end-filling materials with and without the use of bonding agents. For microleakage measurement a fluid transport model was used. Sixty single-rooted teeth were used in this study. They were prepared with step-back technique and then an apicoectomy was performed. Then the teeth were divided into four groups. Group A were filled with Fuji II LC glass-ionomer cement, group B were filled with Fuji II LC and a new bonding agent, Fuji Bond, group C were filled with Admira composite resin, and group D were filled with Admira and Admira Bond, a new bonding agent. At 24 h, 1 month, and 2 months after filling the leakage along these filling materials was determined under a low pressure of 0.1 atm. At all experimental times, glass-ionomer groups showed significantly less microleakage than resins groups. Between Admira and Admira Bond groups, significantly less leakage was observed in the root sections with Admira Bond at 24 h.
