| description | Background:
Bioceramic-based root canal sealers are recently utilized in endodontic treatments as materials for root canal obturation. Ensuring the complete removal of these materials during root canal retreatment is essential for proper disinfection. This investigation was carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of D-limonene, 10% formic acid, and 20% hydrochloric acid as solvents in retreating teeth previously filled with gutta-percha and AH Plus or bioceramic sealers.
Materials and Methods:
A total of 108 single-rooted human premolars underwent initial root canal treatment using ProTaper rotary file system. Nonsurgical retreatment was then performed using ProTaper retreatment files. The interaction between the tested sealers and solvents was examined under a stereomicroscope. ImageJ software was also used to precisely evaluate the areas covered by residual root canal obturating material. Mann–Whitney and Kruskal–Wallis tests were used to identify significant differences between the groups at a significance level of 0.05.
Results:
The results revealed that none of the solvents were successful in completely removing the sealers. However, greater retreatability was observed in case of AH Plus sealer characterized by the presence of less remnants as compared to bioceramic sealers.
Conclusions:
These findings indicate that D-limonene can effectively dissolve resin-based sealers, but not bioceramic sealers. Irrespective of the solvents used, complete elimination of BC and BCH sealers could not be accomplished. This suggests that bioceramic-based sealers significantly caused the retention of more residual material than resin-based sealer after their removal with different solvents. |
