Abstract
Objectives
The aim of this study was to evaluate the mineral deposition, push-out bond strength, radiopacity, the degree of conversion, film thickness, flow, calcium ion release, and pH of experimental endodontic sealers containing hydroxyapatite (HAp), aflfa-ticalcium phosphate (α-TCP), or octacalcium phosphate (OCP) particles.
Materials and methods
Fifty single straight root human premolars were instrumented and divided into five groups (n = 10). Experimental endodontic sealers were formulated by 70 wt% urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA), 15 wt% of glycerol-1,3-dimethacrylate (GDMA), 15 wt% of ethoxylated bisphenol A glycol dimethacrylate (BISEMA), camphorquinone (CQ), N,N-dihydroxyethyl-para-toluidine (DHEPT), and benzoyl-peroxide. 10 wt% of each HAp, α-TCP, or OCP were added to the resin and its properties were assessed.
Results
After 7 days, the degree of conversion ranged from 44.69% (GOCP) to 50.74% (Gcontrol) and no statistical difference were observed (p < 0.05). GAHplus showed the highest push-out bond strength 4.91 (± 2.38) MPa at 28 days of analysis (p < 0.05). Film thickness and pH were not statistically different (p > 0.05). Statically lower values of flow were found for GHAp, GOCP, and Gα-TCP (p < 0.05). Calcium deposition values were higher for GHAp at 28 days.
Conclusions
Bond strength, degree of conversion, and film thickness of endodontic sealers with phosphates showed similar results compared with AHplus, but displayed higher amounts of Ca2+ release.
Clinical relevance
Phosphate fillers improve the performance of endodontic sealers after 28 days of simulated body fluid.
