Although studies support the effectiveness of coronal barriers (CB), there is no universal protocol that incorporates it as part of the Endodontic Treatment.
Objectives: In order to assess what is the best material to be udsed as CB, when applied on the entrance of the root canal after filling, an in vitro micro-leakage study was carried with four materials.
Materials and Methods: 70 single root teeth were aleatory divided into 4 test groups (n=15) and 2 control ones (n=5). The materials tested were Ionoseal®, GC Fuji II LC®, GrandioSO® Flow and GrandioSO®. The teeth were subjected to thermal cycling and then immersed in a methylene blue dye 2% for leakage evaluation. The results were analysed using ANOVA and Tukey HSD statistic testes (α = 0.05).
Results: Overall, Ionoseal® showed the greater amount of leakage and, compared to the other groups, the difference was statistically significant (p0.05). However, between GC Fuji II LC® , GrandioSO® Flow and GrandioSO®, there was no statistically differences.
Conclusion: The results showed that LC Fuji II®, GrandioSo® Flow and conventional GrandioSo® are suitable as intra-canal barrierrs, promoting a CB to infiltration. When using Ionoseal®, its suggested the use of adhesive system to improve the sealing; in future, more studies are needed to analysed the behave of this material.
Clinical Implications: Sealing of the root canal is essential suggesting their integration into routine clinical protocol.
