The non-vital bleaching technique has been used widely as a very effective treatment method on discolored non-vital teeth. But periodontal tissue deterioration and cervical external root resorption have been reported because of the high toxicity of hydrogen peroxide in bleaching agents. So in previous studies, placement of base over the root canal obturation prior to bleaching has been suggested in order to prevent microleakage of bleaching agents, however, the effectiveness of base is still controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of base and root canal sealer on prevention of leakage of bleaching agents in non-vital bleaching. Fifty-two extracted sound teeth with single root were used. For root canal obturation, Tubuli seal$^{(R)}$(Kerr Co., USA) was used in 39 teeth and in others, AH-26$^{(R)}$(De Trey Dentsply, Inc., Switzerland) was used as a root canal sealer. 26 teeth among the teeth obturated with Tubuli seal$^{(R)}$ were divided into two groups, and Dentin cement$^{(R)}$(GC corp., Japan) and JRM$^{(R)}$(De Trey Dentsply, Inc. Germany) were used in each group as a intracanal base. In all teeth, non-vital bleaching using bleaching agent mixed with methylene blue dye was performed and all specimens were stored in $37^{\circ}C$ water bath for 72 hours. After sectioning longitudinally, the depth of dye leakage was measured with digital vernier calipers under the stereobinocular microscope using ${\times}40$ magnification. It can be concluded as follows: 1. The microleakage of bleaching agent was observed ill all groups regardless of type of the base and the sealer. 2. The microleakage in the groups using AH-26$^{(R)}$ as a sealer was significantly reduced (p<0.05). 3. In the groups with intracanal base, micro leakage was observed through almost the whole depth of the base and there was no significant difference between Dentin cement$^{(R)}$ and IRM$^{(R)}$ group(p>0.05). In conclusion, all the basing materials and the sealers in this study did not prevent the microleakage of bleaching agent. Therefore further studies and attempts to seal off the pulp chamber will be necessary.

이 연구의 목적은 서로 다른 두 개의 근관 크기(#70, #120)를 가진 레진 모형에 MTA (minoral trioxide aggregate)를 서로 다른 두 가지 방법 (수기구 충전(HC), 초음파 보조 수기구 충전(UAHC))으로 정방위 충전하고 MTA apical plug의 미세 누출을 평가하는 것이다. 직선형 근관 형태를 가지며, #70과 #120의 치근단 크기를 갖는 레진 모형을 각각 30개씩 준비하였다. 이 시편들을 MTA의 적용 방법에 따라 각 군을 2개의 아군으로 다음과 같이 분류하였다 (n=15); C70: HC + 치근단 크기 #70, C120: HC + 치근단 크기 #120, U70: UAHC + 치근단 크기 #70, U120: UAHC + 치근단 크기 #120. MTA 충전을 완료한 후에, 24시간 동안 실온에서 100% 습도를 유지하여 경화시켰다. 근관의 상부는 열연화 충전 시스템(Obtura II)을 이용하여 충전하였다. 48시간 동안 100% 습도를 유지하여 실온에서 0.2% rhodamine B 용액을 이용해 미세누출 실험을 하였다. 이 연구결과 #70의 치근단 크기를 갖는 그룹 사이에서 UAHC가 HC에 비해 미세누출이 적은 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 이 연구 조건하에서는 초음파 진동을 동반한 정방위 MTA apical plug 형성 방법이, 특히 좁은 근관에서 더 효율적인 것으로 사료된다.

The purpose of this study was to compare the apical leakage and adaptation to the dentinal wall of a glass ionomer root canal cement(Ketac-Endo) with those of AH-26 and Tubli-Seal. 102 single-rooted teeth were insrumented with step-back technique and randomly divided into four groups according to kinds of root canal cements: Ketac-Endo, AH-26, Tubli-Seal, and no root canal cement. Four experimental groups were as follows; Group 1 : Filling with gutta-percha and Ketac-Endo Group 2 : Filling with gutta-percha and AH-26 Group 3 : Filling with gutta-percha and Tubli-Seal Group 4 : Filling with gutta-percha without root canal cement All the specimens were obturated with lateral condensation technique, and stored in 100% humidity for 4 days. 20 teeth in each group were placed in centrifuge tube filled with India ink, and then centrifuged for 20 minutes at 3,000 rpm. And they were evaluated for linear dye leakage using a stereoscope and analyzed by one-way ANOVA. 22 teeth were split longitudinally and evaluated the adaptation to the dentinal wall using scanning electron microscope(4 teeth in each group) and stereoscope(2 teeth in 1, 2, 3 group). The obtained results were as follows ; 1. In case of not used root canal cement(Group 4), there was showed much degree of dye penetration comparerd with used root canal cements (Group 1, 2, 3)(P<0.01). 2. In the case of used root canal cements(Group 1, 2, 3), there was no significant difference in linear leakage in groups(P>0.01). 3. In the case of used root canal cements(Group 1, 2, 3), there was showed intimate adaptation to the dentinal wall independent on kinds of root canal cements. 4. Fractured surfaces indicated failure of cohesion in Ketac-Endo, and failure of adhesion to dentine in AH-26 and Tubli-Seal. 5. According to similar apical leakage and adaptability to the dentinal wall to another root canal cements, it is possible to be used glass-ionomer cement as root canal cement.

연구목적: 이 연구의 목적은 새로운 근단 역충전 재료를 개발하기 위해 MTA, MTA와 AH-plus 혼합물 (AMTA), 그리고 실험적 개발재료인 Portland cement-Epoxy resin composite (EPPC)의 미세 누출 및 물리적인 성질을 비교하는 것이다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 발거 치아 49개를 근관 성형하고 gutta-percha와 sealer로 충전하였다. 각 치아의 치근을 근단부 3 mm에서 절단하고 3 mm 깊이의 역충전 와동을 형성하였다. 15개씩 무작위로 분류한 치근을 세 군으로 나누어 각각 MTA, AMTA, EPPC로 충전하였고 네 개의 치근은 대조군으로 사용하였다. 각 군의 재료로 역충전이 완료된 모든 실험군을 젖은거즈로 덮고 24시간 동안 경화시켰다. 경화 후 72시간 동안 1% methylene blue 염색액에 담근 후, 치근단을 수직 절단하여 사진을 촬영하고 미세 누출을 평가하였다. Vicat apparatus를 사용하여 실험군 별로 경화시간을 측정하였으며, aluminum step wedge를 사용한 디지털 방사선 사진을 촬영하여 각 군의 방사선 불투과도를 평가하였다. 미세누출과 경화시간에 대해 각 군간의 차이를 일원배치분산분석 및 Scheffe 사후 검증으로 유의수준 95%에서 평가하였다. 결과: AMTA와 EPPC는 MTA군에 비해 적은 미세누출량을 보였다 (p < 0.05). AMTA는 가장 높은 방사선 불투과도를 보였으며 개발 재료인 EPPC군은 5 mm aluminum 두께의 방사선 불투과도를 보였다. MTA가 가장 긴 경화시간을 나타낸반면 EPPC군은 다른 군에 비해 초기경화와 최종경화 모두 가장 짧은 경화시간을 나타냈다 (p < 0.05). 결론: 이 연구 조건하에서, 신개발 재료인 EPPC는 치근단 역충전 재료로서 기존의 MTA보다 양호한 밀폐능력과 방사선 불투과성 및 짧은 경화시간 등의 역충전 재료로서 적절한 물리적 성질을 가진 것으로 보인다.

Background/Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of Nd:YAG irradiation on adherence of retrograde filling materials (mineral trioxide aggregate [MTA] and Super-EBA) by micro-computed tomography (CT) measurement and to observe the dentinal surface after irradiation by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Materials and methods: Forty retrofilling models using extracted human teeth were divided into four groups according to the material and method used: ProRoot MTA (MTA group), Super-EBA (EBA group), MTA with Nd:YAG laser irradiation (LMTA group), and Super-EBA with Nd:YAG laser irradiation (LEBA group). All specimens were stored in 100% humidity for 24 hours until micro-CT was performed. The gap volume of the tooth/material interface was measured using the CTAn program. In six samples, the laser-irradiated dentin surface was observed using SEM. Results: The mean percent difference in gap volume was not statistically significant between the Nd:YAG laser-irradiated groups and non-irradiated in both materials(P > 0.05). The gap volume in the MTA group was significantly lower than that in the EBA group (P < 0.05). Examination of the non-irradiated specimens by SEM showed patent dentinal tubules. In contrast, alterations in the texture of the dentin surface and obliteration of the dentinal tubules were evident in the Nd:YAG laser-irradiated specimens. Conclusion: In this study, changes in the dentinal surface after Nd:YAG irradiation did not affect adherence between the apical filling material and the dentin wall.

Canals with artificially made internal resorption were filled with 4 techniques(Lateral condensation, Ultrafil, Obtura II, Thermafil) to compare the efficacy of canal filling according to the filling techniques. After canal filling, radiographic examination, dye penetration through the apical portion and percentage of G-P filled area on the internal resorption area were evaluated. To examine the degree of crystal-like structure and the interface between filled G-P and canal wall, SM and SEM images were taken too. The results were as follows : 1. There was no statistically significant difference in apical microleakage among the 4 root canal filling techniques. 2. As a result of radiographic examination, Ultrafil was the best and Obtura II was acceptable but Lateral condensation and Thermafil showed unfavorable canal filling pattern similarly. 3. Ultrafil filled most of artificially made internal resorption area and Obtura II, Lateral condensation, Thermafil in that order filled unfavorably. 4. Degree of crystal like structure was the highest in the group filled with Ultrafil and those of Obtura II and Thermafil were similar and that of gutta percha used in Lateral condensation showed the lowest value. 5. Penetration of gutta percha into the dentinal tubules couldn't be seen in all groups. In the contact surface between the filled G-P and the canal wall, Lateral condensation showed relatively close sealing, Obtura II and Thermafil had irregular contact surface and Ultrafil showed regular filling pattern. 6. Contact surface between the core of Thermafil and the gutta percha showed close relationship without gap formation.

The application of Nd:YAG laser and irrigants to the root surface can change its surface configurations. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Nd:YAG laser and irrigants on the apical seal of obturated canals. In this study, 66 single rooted teeth were randomly assigned to 4 group of 14 teeth each. 8 teeth were served us positive and negative controls. The teeth were divided into 6 groups as follows. Group A: Nd:YAG laser, 5% NaOCl + Rc-prep Group B: Nd:YAG laser, Saline Group C: 5% NaOCl + Rc-prep Group D: Saline Group E: Positive control Group F: Negative control 66 teeth were instrumented using Maillefer ProFile$^{\circledR}$ (Orifice Shapers, .04 taper, .06 taper Dentsply, Switzerland). Two of each group were selected at random, and the canal wall surfaces were examined under a SEM. 12 teeth of each group were obturated using by lateral condensation technique. Specimens were immersed in india ink for 7days, decalcified by 10% nitric acid, dehydrated by 75. 80. 85, 90, 95 and 100% alcohol in order cleared by methyl salicylate and then measured of dye penetration with stereomicroscope($\times$15 magnification) and Image Pro plus. The data were analyzed statistically by one-way ANOVA test and Duncan's Multiple Range test. The results were as follows : 1. The mean leakage was 0.128$\pm$0.376 for group A, 0.237$\pm$0.325 for group B, 0.397$\pm$0.468 for group C, 0.586$\pm$0.402 for group D, and there were statistically significant differences between group A and group D, group B and group D. (p<0.05). 2. Group A had better sealing ability than Group C, but there was statistically no significant differences. (p>0.05). 3. Group B had better sealing ability than Group D and there was statistically significant difference. (p<0.05). 4 Group A had better sealing ability than Group B, but there was statistically no significant difference. (p>0.05). 5. Group C had better sealing ability than Group D, but there was statistically no significant difference. (p>0.05). 6. As a result of observation under SEM, Smear layers were removed in Group A, B. but Smear layers were partially removed and smear plugs were remained in Group C, Smear layers were not removed in Group D. To be specially, Melting of smear layer were showed in Group C. 7. These results suggests that the laser has a potential in reducing the apical microleakage of obturated canals.
