| Popis: | An in vitro endodontic leakage model was used to compare the sealing ability of conventional retrograde amalgam fillings with a new retrograde filling technique by measuring dye leakage quantitatively. The new technique consisted of retrograde preparation of the root canal using the Endocursor, an endodontic handpiece. The canal was then filled with sealer and injection-moulded gutta-percha, using either the Hygenic Ultrafil system or the Unitek Obtura method. In both cases the gutta-percha was vertically condensed and subsequently cold-burnished. The two experimental groups and the amalgam group each consisted of 20 extracted human canine teeth and lower premolars. The results were analysed statistically by ANOVA and a Student-Newman-Keuls multiple comparison test. After 1 week at 37 degrees C, very little leakage was observed in the amalgam and gutta-percha groups. After a second week, during which leakage was enhanced by gas pressure, leakage in the amalgam group was significantly greater than that in the gutta-percha groups (P less than 0.01). There were no significant differences between the two experimental gutta-percha groups. It is concluded that the new retrograde filling technique causes less leakage than the conventional amalgam retrograde filling technique in an in vitro model. |
