Sealing ability of ProRoot MTA and MTA-Angelus simulating a one-step apical barrier technique--an in vitro study.
Endodontic treatment of the pulpless tooth with an immature root apex poses a special challenge for the clinician due to lack of an apical stop against which to compact an interim dressing of calcium hydroxide , or the final obturation material . A one-visit apexification protocol with MTA ( Mineral Trioxide Aggregate ) has be seen as an alternative to the traditional treatment practice s with calcium hydroxide [ Ca(OH)2 ] . The aim of this study was to investigate the use of MTA as a 5 mm apical barrier by comparing sealing ability of ProRoot MTA to that of MTA-Angelus . 50 freshly extracted Maxillary and M and ibular single canal sound human incisor teeth were used in this study , which were decoronated to st and ardized 10 mm root lengths . The root segments were prepared to simulate the clinical situation of an open apex with Gates Glidden burs # 51 and r and omly assigned into 2 experimental groups of 20 sample s each ( Group A : ProRoot MTA , Group B : MTA-Angelus ) and 10 root segments were used as control ( Group C ) where no apical barrier was used . After obturation the coronal portion of all sample s were sealed with Glass Ionomer and stored at 37 degrees C and 100 % humidity for 4 weeks . The root segments were then double coated with nail varnish except for the apical 1 mm and apical ends of all root segments were suspended vertically in methylene blue dye for 48 hours at room temperature . After removal from the dye , the sample s were sectioned longitudinally and linear dye penetration was measured using a Grid and stereomicroscope . The measurements were tabulated and statistically analyzed . The mean percentage of dye leakage for Group A was 55.5 % and for Group B was 53.25 % . The results showed no statistically significant difference in the sealing ability of ProRoot MTA and MTA-Angelus when used as apical barriers
