Özet
© 2023 Australian Society of Endodontology Inc.The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of different activation techniques on dentin tubule penetration of root canal sealer. Seventy-five teeth with single canals were chemomechanically prepared. A calcium silicate-based sealer was stained with a fluorescent dye (rhodamine B), placed into the canals and activated according to the following groups: control (no activation), EDDY, EndoActivator, ultrasonic and XP-Endo Finisher. Then, the samples were obturated. The percentages of sealer penetration at various depth levels of root sections were measured with confocal laser scanning microscopy. XP-Endo Finisher presented the highest penetration at 50 μm (p < 0.05). XP-Endo Finisher showed similar penetration with EDDY at 100 and 200 μm (p > 0.05) while presented higher penetration than the other groups (p < 0.05). At 500 μm, XP-Endo Finisher presented higher penetration than EndoActivator (p < 0.05) while similar penetration with the other groups (p > 0.05). XP-Endo Finisher can be recommended for activation during sealer placement for better penetration into dentin tubules.
