Abstract
Aim:This study aims to evaluate the effect of three endodontic chelating agents (17% ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid [EDTA], 1% peracetic acid [PAA], 0.2% Chitosan) on the push out bond strength of gutta percha with a new bioceramic sealer (BioRoot RCS).Materials and Methods:Forty-eight single-rooted mandibular premolars were selected and decoronated to obtain standardized root length of 15 mm. The root canals were prepared up to #30 files (Hyflex CM) and copious irrigation was done with 3 ml of 5.25% of NaOCl. According to the final irrigation, specimens were divided into three groups: Group 1 (n = 16) 0.2% chitosan, Group 2 (n = 16) 17% EDTA, and Group 3 (n = 16) 1% PAA for 1 min. Samples from each group were obturated with bioceramic sealer and gutta percha and sealed with temporary filling material. Two horizontal slices of 2 mm was obtained from the middle third of each sample (n = 32). Push out bond strength and failure modes were assessed. Kruskal–Wallis test followed by Mann–Whitney post hoc analysis was used for push out analysis. Chi square test was used to compare the modes of failure. The statistical significance level was set at P = 0.05.Results:The highest push out bond strength was obtained with Group 1 (0.2% chitosan) followed by Group 3 (1% PAA). Group 2 (17% EDTA) showed least push out bond strength when compared to Group 1 (0.2% chitosan) and Group 3 (1% PAA). The mode of failure was mainly cohesive for all groups.Conclusions:The highest push-out bond strength of BioRoot RCS was seen after treatment with 0.2% chitosan while the least was after EDTA treatment. 1% PAA treatment also favorably affected push-out bond strength of BioRoot RCS.
