Influence of the use of chelating agents as final irrigant on the push-out bond strength of epoxy resin-based root canal sealers: A systematic review.

This systematic review (PROSPERO - CRD42020150722) was performed to answer the following question: Does the use of chelating agents affect the dislodgment resistance of epoxy resin-based root canal sealers? A search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, LILACS and Web of Science, hand searching of two endodontic journals and grey literature until September 2020. Extracted data included: teeth used, sample size, root canal preparation, irrigant, chelating solution, neutralisation solution, type of resin-based sealer and obturation approach, storage method and duration, root third and slice thickness, plunger dimension and loading direction and the push-out testing parameters and values. The search retrieved a total of 2.389 studies. After analysis, 12 studies fulfilled the eligibility criteria and were included. Most of the final irrigation protocols with chelating agents had a positive impact and promoted an improvement in the dislodgment resistance of epoxy resin-based sealers to the root dentin.

Shaping ability of reciprocating and rotary systems in oval-shaped root canals: a microcomputed tomography study.

This study compared the shaping ability of single-file reciprocating (WaveOne Gold) and multifile rotary (Mtwo) systems on mandibular oval-shaped canine root canals, using microcomputed tomography (micro-CT). Thirty mandibular canines were scanned by micro-CT and assigned to one of two groups (n=15) according to the system used for root canal preparation: WaveOne Gold or Mtwo. After preparation, the teeth were rescanned, and the percentage of untouched canal area, apical transportation and centering ability were analyzed. The data was evaluated using Kruskal and Mann- Whitney tests (p<0.05). No difference was found in percentage of unprepared canal area between groups in the entire root canal or the apical third, or in centering ability (p>0.05). WaveOne gold had less canal transportation than MTwo at the 5 mm section (p<0.05). WOG and Mtwo systems presented similar shaping ability and centering ability in oval-shaped canals. However, WOG presented less transportation than Mtwo at 5 mm from the apex.

Este estudo comparou a capacidade de modelagem dos sistemas reciprocante de lima única (WaveOne Gold) e rotatórios com múltiplas limas (Mtwo) em caninos ovais inferiores, usando microtomografia computadorizada (micro-CT). Trinta caninos inferiores foram escaneados por micro-CT e divididos em dois grupos (n = 15) de acordo com o sistema usado durante o preparo do canal radicular: WaveOne Gold (WOG) e Mtwo. Os dentes foram reeescaneados e a porcentagem de área do canal não preparada, transporte apical e capacidade de centralização foram analisados. Os dados foram avaliados pelos testes de Kruskal Wallis e Mann-Whitney (p<0,05). Nenhuma diferença foi encontrada na porcentagem de área não preparada entre os grupos em todo o canal radicular e no terço apical e na capacidade de centralização (p>0,05). O sistema WOG promoveu menor transporte do canal do que o sistema Mtwo na região de 5mm aquém do ápice (p<0,05). Os sistemas WOG e Mtwo apresentaram capacidade de modelagem e capacidade de centralização semelhantes em canais ovais. No entanto, WOG promoveu menor transporte do que Mtwo a 5 mm do ápice.
