Introduction: Endodontic retreatment is indicated in cases of failed primary endodontic treatment. The main goal of retreatment is to establish conditions that will enable the healing of the periapical tissue. Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of rotary retreatment with the ProTaper Universal Retreatment system supplemented with passive ultrasonic activation of solvent in retreatment of single-rooted mandibular premolar teeth obturated with gutta-percha and two different root canal sealers (AH Plus and MTA Fillapex). Materials and Methods: This in-vitro study was conducted in the Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics at Mahatma Gandhi Mission's Dental College and Hospital, Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, from January 2019 to April 2019. Total 66 freshly extracted human single rooted mandibular premolars were used in this study. Root canal preparation was done using ProTaper Next rotary files. Teeth were decoronated to get a uniform length of 18 mm and were divided into three retreatment groups based on the technique used for retreatment. Group I included rotary retreatment, Group II involved rotary retreatment with solvent and paper point wicking, and Group III involved rotary retreatment with passive ultrasonic activation of solvent and paper point wicking. Based on the sealer used for obturation, teeth in each group were further divided into two subgroups, subgroup A with AH Plus sealer and subgroup B with MTA Fillapex sealer. Teeth were stored in an incubator for 30 days to allow sealer to set after which sectioning of the specimens was done buccolingually for examination under the stereomicroscope and photographed. Statistical analysis was done by using parametric Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) followed by Post-hoc tests and Unpaired t-test. Results: No statistically significant difference in percentage area of residual root canal filling material noted between the group I and II and when obturated with gutta-percha and AH Plus sealer (subgroup A) as p-value=0.215. Whereas, it revealed a statistically significant difference between the group I, II, and III when obturated with gutta-percha and MTA Fillapex sealer (subgroup B) as p-value<0.001. Conclusion: Passive ultrasonic activation of solvent after gutta-percha removal using ProTaper Universal rotary files could improve the quality of endodontic retreatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
