| Summary: | Background:
An inadequate apical seal stands out as a primary cause of disappointment in surgical endodontic procedures. Therefore, the choice of root-end filling material should aim to prevent the leakage of potential contaminants into the periapical tissue.
Aim:
To evaluate and compare microleakage of chitosan nano hydrogel-incorporated mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and glass ionomer cement (GIC) when used as a retrograde filling material.
Materials and Methods:
Sixty single-rooted premolars were decoronated at cemento enamel junction (CEJ), and root canals were prepared and obturated, with the coronal part sealed with a composite. The dye absorption was measured by an automatic spectrophotometer.
Results:
The results showed that the MTA + chitosan group had less microleakage values compared to the MTA group but was not statistically significant and GIC + chitosan had less microleakage values compared to the GIC group and was statistically significant.
Conclusion:
Chitosan-incorporated MTA and chitosan-incorporated GIC can be considered as retrograde filling material; however, further in vitro and in vivo research and long-term clinical studies are required. |
