The purpose of this study was to evaluate the microleakage of retrofilled teeth with various materials [ non-zinc Amalgam, IRM, Ketac-silver, CGP(cold-burnished, ultrafil)[and instruments for cavity preparation.
Root apex were resected 2mm from apex horizontally and class I cavities were prepared in 2mm denpth, 1.5 mm width and were filled with above mentioned materials.
Root apex were resected 2mm from apex orizontally and class I cavities were prepared in 2mm depth, 1.5mm width and were filled with above mentioned materials.
2% methylene blue dye solution was used for 4 days immersionand the linear leakage was measured with calipers and the volumetric leakage was determined with a spectrophotometer.
@ES The results were as follows:
@EN 1. Amalgam group showed the greatest amount of leakage and Ketac-silver group showed the least value.
2. By linear leakage test, the group retrofilled with Ketac-silver, or CGP showed better seal than the group of Amalgam or IRM. This was shown in both retrograde tip and Conventional method.
3. By volumetric leakage test, the group retrofilled with Ketac-silver showed significantly better seal than the group with IRM in retrograde tip method.
4. By volumetric leakage test, the group retrofilled with Ketac-silver showed significantly better seal than the group with Amalgam in the Conventional method.
