Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the radiopacity and cytotoxicity of three resin-based (AH 26, EZ fill and AD Seal), a zinc oxide-eugenol-based (ZOB Seal), and a calcium hydroxide-based (Sealapex) root canal sealers. Specimens, 10 mm in diameter and 1 mm in thickness, were radiographed simultaneously with an aluminum step wedge using occlusal films, according to ISO 6876/2001 standards. Radiographs were digitized, and the radiopacity of sealers was compared to the different thicknesses of the aluminum step wedge, using the Scion image software. Using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, the cytotoxicity of each material was determined in immortalized human periodontal ligament (IPDL) cells. The results demonstrated that EZ fill was the most radiopaque sealer, while Sealapex was the least radiopaque (p < 0.05). AH 26, AD Seal and ZOB Seal presented intermediate radiopacity values. All the materials evaluated, except for Sealapex, presented the minimum radiopacity required by ISO standards. The cell viabilities of resin-based root canal sealers were statistically higher than that of other type of root canal sealers through the all experimental time. Further, EZ fill showed statistically lower cell viability in 24 and 48 hours compared to AD Seal and in 72 hours compared to all other resin-based root canal sealers. However, there was no correlation between the radiopacity and cytotoxicity of three resin-based root canals sealers (p > 0.05). These results indicate that resin-based root canal sealer is more biocompatible and has advantage in terms of radiopacity.

본 연구의 목적은 세 가지 레진계 근관충전실러 (AH 26, EZ fill, AD Seal), 산화아연 유지놀계 근관충전실러(ZOB Seal) 그리고 수산화칼슘계 근관충전실러 (Sealapex)의 방사선 불투과성 및 세포독성을 평가한 것이다. 각 실러를 제조회사의 지시대로 혼합하여 직경 10 mm, 두께 1 mm로 시편을 제작한 후 ISO 6876/2001의 규격에 따라 교합필름을 이용하여 알루미늄 스텝웨지와 함께 방사선 촬영을 시행하였다. 방사선 사진을 디지털화하여 컴퓨터에 저장한 후 Scion image 프로그램을 이용하여 각 단계의 알루미늄 스텝웨지의 두께와 비교하였다. 각 재료의 세포 독성은 불멸화된 인간 치주인대세포 (immortalized human periodontal ligament cell, IPDL)에서 MTT 분석법을 이용하여 시행하였다. EZ fill이 가장 높은 방사선 불투과성을 나타내었고 Sealapex가 가장 낮은 방사선 불투과성을 나타내었다 (p < 0.05). AH 26, AD Seal, ZOB Seal은 중등도의 방사선 불투과성을 나타내었다. Sealapex를 제외한 모든 평가된 재료는 ISO 규격에 부합하는 방사선 불투과성을 보였다. 레진계 실러의 세포독성은 모든 실험 시간대에 걸쳐 다른 계통의 실러에 비해 낮게 나타났다 (p < 0.05) 아울러, EZ fill은 24및 48시간대에서는 AD Seal에 비해, 72 시간대에서는 다른 두 레진계 실러에 비해 높은 세포독성을 보였다. 그러나 레진계 실러에서 방사선 불투과성의 정도와 세포독성과의 관련성은 없었다 (p > 0.05). 이 실험 결과로 볼 때 레진계 실러는 다른 계통의 실러에 비해 방사선 불투과성 면에서 장점을 가지며 생체적합성면에서 우수하다고 사료된다.
