Aim: To compare the push out bond strength of
BioRoot RCS and Adseal using universal testing machine.
Methods and Material:
After decoronating 30 extracted
single-rooted teeth were decoronated, Instrumentation was done upto F3 file
(universal protaper, Dentsply). The teeth were divided into three groups (n=10)
based upon the sealer used. Group A: Epoxy resin based sealer (Adseal), Group
B: Bioceramic sealer (BioRoot RCS), and Group C: zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE) based
sealer (Root canal sealer, DPI, India). Manipulation and application of the sealer
was done as per the manufacturer instructions. All the teeth were obturated
using F3 gutta-percha (Dentsply- Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland). After
obturation, each tooth was prepared with root sections of 2 mm thickness at
middle 1/3 and apical 1/3 for testing push out bond strength using universal
testing machine. Data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA and
multiple post hoc tests.
Results: The
highest bond strength was found in BioRoot RCS followed Adseal and the lowest
bond strength was found in ZOE based sealer.
