Abstract

Abstract: Introduction: Filling ability of retrograde cavity and porosity are important properties for root-end filling materials and may be evaluated by using microcomputed tomography (micro-CT).

Objective: To evaluate filling ability and porosity of root-end filling materials using microcomputed tomography (micro-CT).

Material and method: Cavities with 1 mm internal diameter and 3 mm depth were prepared in bovine dentin sections by using ultrasonic tips (CVD No. 6.1107-6), and filled by Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA); Sealer 26 (S26) and zinc oxide and eugenol cement (ZOE). Before and after filling, cavities were scanned by using micro-CT (SkyScan 1176). Filling and porosity were analyzed by using CTAn software. Filling ability was calculated based on volumetric percentage of the filled cavity. The number and percentage of closed pores were measured throughout entire extension of the filled cavity (total) and in each third (cervical, middle and apical), by using bi and tridimensional analyses. The filling data were submitted to ANOVA and Tukey statistical tests, and porosity data to Kruskall-Wallis and Dunn tests, at a 5% significance level.

Result: S26 and ZOE presented higher filling ability than MTA (p<0.05). S26 showed the highest total porosity (number and percentage) (p<0.05). In all thirds after 2D and 3D analyses, porosity was higher for S26 in comparison to MTA and ZOE (p<0.05).

Conclusion: Although Sealer 26 presented more porosity, the material was associated with a great filling ability. Micro-CT analysis showed no correlation between filling ability and porosity.

Resumo

Resumo: Introdução: Capacidade de preenchimento da cavidade retrógrada e porosidade são propriedades importantes de materiais retrobturadores e podem ser avaliadas por meio de microtomografia computadorizada (micro-CT).

Objetivo: Avaliar a capacidade de preenchimento e porosidade de materiais retrobturadores por meio de micro-CT.

Material e método: Cavidades com 1 mm de diâmetro e 3 mm de altura foram preparadas em dentina bovina utilizando pontas ultrassônicas (CVD No. 6.1107-6) e foram preenchidas com Mineral Trióxido Agregado (MTA), Sealer 26 (S26) e cimento de óxido de zinco e eugenol (OZE). As cavidades foram escaneadas em micro-CT antes e após o preenchimento. A capacidade de preenchimento foi calculada com base na porcentagem em volume, das cavidades preenchidas. O número e porcentagem dos poros fechados foram avaliados em toda extensão da cavidade preenchida (total) e por terços (cervical, médio e apical) por meio de análises bi e tridimensionais. Os dados de preenchimento foram submetidos aos testes estatísticos ANOVA e Tukey e a porosidade aos testes de Kruskall-Wallis e Dunn, com nível de significância de 5%.

Resultado: S26 e OZE apresentaram maior capacidade de preenchimento que o MTA (p<0,05). S26 mostrou maior porosidade total (em número e porcentagem) (p<0,05). Em todos os terços, após as análises 2D e 3D, a porosidade foi maior para S26 em comparação ao MTA e OZE (p<0,05).

Conclusão: Embora Sealer 26 tenha apresentado maior porosidade, o material foi associado a uma adequada capacidade de preenchimento. A análise em micro-CT mostrou ausência de correlação entre capacidade de preenchimento e porosidade.
