O presente estudo avaliou ex vivo a permeabilidade das paredes dentinárias de canais radiculares, após a remoção de três diferentes associações de materiais obturadores. Para tanto, 36 pré-molares uni-radiculares extraídos, com comprimento e aspectos anatômicos semelhantes, tiveram a cirurgia de acesso à câmara pulpar realizada, preparo do canal radicular até instrumentos ProTaper F4 e obturação com uma das seguintes associações de materiais: G1 - guta-percha e cimento Fill Canal (n=10); G2 - guta-percha e cimento AH-Plus (n=10); G3 - Resilon e cimento Epiphany (n=10). Seis espécimes tiveram seus canais preparados mas não foram obturados para fins de controle positivo. Após 24 horas em estufa, os canais foram desobturados, com instrumentos rotatórios NRT para retratamento, limas do tipo K #40 e solvente de óleo de casca de laranja. Terminada a desobturação, os espécimes foram impermeabilizados e submetidos ao teste de impregnação de azul de metileno 1% por 24 horas. Os dentes foram então lavados em água corrente por 24 horas, tiveram sua coroas amputadas e as raízes seccionadas horizontalmente em fatias de 1mm. Uma secção de cada terço radicular foi selecionada e fotografada, e o percentual de dentina corada em cada secção foi calculada por meio de um software de análise gráfica. Os resultados demonstraram diferença significativa entre os grupos experimentais e o grupo controle (p<0,05), contudo, não houve diferença estatística entre os grupos experimentais (p>0,05). Concluiu-se assim que o tipo de material obturador utilizado não influencia na permeabilidade dentinária após sua remoção. / The purpose of this study was to evaluate ex vivo the permeability of root canal dentin walls after the removal of three different combinations of filling materials. To this end, 36 extracted human single-rooted premolars, with similar length and anatomy, had surgery access to the pulp chamber, root canal preparation was performed to F4 ProTaper instruments and filling with one of the following associations of filling materials: G1 - gutta-percha and Fill Canal cement (n = 10); G2 - gutta-percha and AH Plus cement (n = 10); G3 - Resilon cones and Epiphany cement (n = 10). Six specimens were prepared but its canals were not filled for positive control. After 24 hours at 37 ° C, the canals were desobturated, making use of NRT rotary instruments , # 40 K-type files and orange oil based solvent. After the removal of the filling material, specimens were sealed and tested for impregnation of dye in 1% methylene blue for 24 hours in the absence of vacuum. The teeth were then washed in running water for 24 hours, had their crowns amputated and the roots sectioned horizontally into 1 mm slices. For each root third , one section was selected and photographed, the images were stored on computer and the percentage of stained dentin in each section was calculated using a graphical analysis software. The results showed a statistically significant difference between experimental groups and control group (p <0.05). However, there was no statistical difference between experimental groups (p> 0.05). Thus, it was concluded that the type of filling material does not influence dentin permeability after its removal.

Quarenta e cinco raízes de pré-molares inferiores humanos foram padronizadas em 16 mm e incluídas em resina acrílica. Os canais radiculares (CR) foram preparados biomecanicamente, as raízes foram seccionadas em sua metade e a RRI foi simulada. Os segmentos foram retornados à posição original com auxílio de parafusos. Uma pasta de Ca(OH)2 permaneceu como MIC por 15 dias. A remoção foi feita por PUI e a qualidade da limpeza foi avaliada por estereomicroscopia. Os CR das amostras foram obturados e o preparo foi feito de forma padronizada. Os espécimes foram divididos em 2 grupos (n=20), de acordo com o tipo de pino cimentado. A resistência de união foi avaliada aos níveis cervical e da RRI pelo teste push-out. Para a análise estatística só foram incluídas falhas adesivas e predominantemente adesivas. Os resultados foram submetidos ao teste de Kruskal-Wallis, Mann Whitney e teste de Dunn (α = 0,05). Foi realizada MEV para análise da interface de união entre cimento e dentina radicular (n=1) e análise por microtomografia computadorizada (micro-CT) do pino GT (n=3). PUI não foi capaz de limpar completamente a maioria das RRI (62,5%). Houve alteração da resistência adesiva entre todos os grupos (p <0,05). Os valores de resistência de união para ambos os grupos na reg...

Forty-five roots of lower human premolars were standardized at 16 mm and included in acrylic resin.The root canals (RC) were prepared biomechanically, the roots were sectioned and the IRR was simulated.The segments were returned to original position with the aid of screws. A Ca(OH)2 paste remained as MIC for 15 days.The removal was done by PUI and the quality of the cleaning was evaluated by stereomicroscopy. The RC of the samples were filled and the preparation was done in standardized way. The specimens were divided into 2 groups (n=20), according to the type of cemented post. The bond strength was evaluated at the cervical and RRI levels by the push-out test. For the statistical analysis only adhesive and predominantly adhesive failures were included. The results were submitted to Kruskal-Wallis test, Mann Whitney test and Dunn test (α =.05). SEM was used to analyze the bond interface between cement and dentin root (n=1) and Microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) analysis of the GT post (n=3). PUI was not able to clear completely the majority of RRI (62.5%). There was alteration of the adhesive resistance between all groups (p <.05). The values of bond strength for both groups in the cervical region were higher in relation to the groups in the RRI region.The SEM showed formation of resin tags at the bond interface between resin cement and root dentin for both groups. In micro-CT analysis, the presence of bubbles in the cement and spaces in the bond interface between cement are visible. The adhesion of both posts was affected negatively by the level of cementation, post adaptation in the root canal and presence of IRR. Rebilda Post presented better ...(Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre
