Microinfiltração coronária em dentes tratados endodonticamente correlacionado ao material restaurador provisório: estudo in vitro

Abstract

This study evaluated the marginal microleakage in temporary filling materials used in Endodontics, in different time intervals (3 and 7 days). One hundred and twenty uniradicular human teeth comprised the sample of this study. After endodontic treatment they were randomly divided into 6 groups (n=20) according to the temporary restoring material used: Group 1: Vidrion R, Group 2: IRM, Group 3: Provisory, Group 4: Dentalville, Group 5: Gutta percha and Super Bonder (positive control), and Group 6: cotton balls (negative control). After restoration the teeth were were impermeabilized with a nail varnish and submitted to thermocycling with 500 cycles (0+/- 5°C e 55 +/- 5°C). Subsenquently, the teeth were immersed in 2% blue methylene solution for 3 and 7 days, longitudinally sectioned and examined by means of a stereoscopic lens with magnification of 40x. The Mann Whitney and Kruskal Wallis tests were applied for statistical analysis. The results were statistically significant for the Dentalville material at the time interval of 3 days (p<0.001). After 7 days only group 5 (positive control) did not show marginal microleakage, and there was no significant differences between the other groups. It may be concluded that Dentalville temporary restoring material showed the smallest indexes of microleakage at time interval of 3 days when compared to the other materials evaluated.
