Super-EBA demonstrated superior apical sealing compared to IRM and gutta-percha at 2 days, though all materials showed comparable coronal microleakage at 1 month.

Area of Science:

  • Endodontics
  • Dental Materials Science

Background:

  • Root canal filling materials are crucial for preventing coronal microleakage.
  • Evaluating the apical sealing ability of different obturation techniques is essential for endodontic success.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the apical sealing efficacy of Super-EBA, IRM, and laterally condensed gutta-percha with sealer.
  • To assess microleakage at 2 days and 1 month post-obturation.

Main Methods:

  • Forty human single-rooted teeth were instrumented and obturated with three different apical plug materials.
  • Microleakage was evaluated using a fluid filtration system at 15 psi at 2 days and 1 month.

Main Results:

  • Super-EBA showed significantly better apical sealing than IRM or gutta-percha at 2 days.

  • No statistical difference in coronal microleakage was observed among the three materials at 1 month.

    • Conclusions:

    • Super-EBA provides a superior initial seal compared to IRM and gutta-percha.
    • Long-term coronal microleakage is comparable across these obturation materials.
