Comparison of Apical Microleakage in Bioceramic and Resin-Based Endodontic Sealers with Conventional and Bioceramic Surface-Impregnated Gutta-Percha Points
The aim of this study is to evaluate the apical sealing ability of novel bioceramic-based (BCB) and widely used resin-based (RB) root canal sealers in combination with traditional or bioceramic-coated gutta-percha points. A total of 92 human single-root extracted teeth were endodontically treated an...

| description | The aim of this study is to evaluate the apical sealing ability of novel bioceramic-based (BCB) and widely used resin-based (RB) root canal sealers in combination with traditional or bioceramic-coated gutta-percha points. A total of 92 human single-root extracted teeth were endodontically treated and divided into three groups (A, B, and C) of 30 samples based on the endodontic sealer/type of gutta-percha points/obturation method used. One tooth sample was used for the negative and positive controls (each). Group A: BCB sealer BioRoot RCS (Septodont, Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, France)/bioceramic-impregnated gutta-percha TotalFill BC points (FKG Dentaire, La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland)/cold hydraulic single-cone. Group B: BioRoot RCS (Septodont, France)/traditional Protaper Gold Gutta-Percha Points (Dentsply Sirona, Charlotte, NC, USA)/cold hydraulic single-cone. Group C: RB sealer AdSeal (Meta Biomed, Cheongju, Republic of Korea)/traditional Protaper Gold Gutta-Percha Points (Dentsply Sirona, USA)/warm vertical condensation. A dye penetration method was applied, and the length of apicocoronal penetration was measured using a surgical microscope. The data were statistically analyzed to evaluate differences at the 0.05 significance level. A significant difference was found between groups A and C, <i>p</i> = 0.0003, and groups B and C, <i>p</i> = 0.003. The data analysis proved that the BCB sealer using the cold hydraulic single-cone method ensured a substantially better seal than the RB sealer using the warm vertical condensation method. The choice of the type of gutta-percha points (bioceramic-coated or regular) appeared to be unimportant. No statistical significance was found between groups A and B, which indicates that using bioceramic-coated gutta-percha points does not bring any considerable benefit in view of a no-gap root canal obturation. |
