Abstract

Aim: To evaluate root reinforcement by four different sealers, namely, AH Plus, MTA Fillapex, Dia-ProSeal, and GuttaFlow 2, on endodontically treated teeth. Materials and methods: Sixty human mandibular premolars were randomly divided into four groups of 15 teeth each, according to the type of sealer used: Group I AH Plus, Group II MTA Fillapex, Group III Dia-ProSeal, and Group IV GuttaFlow 2. All samples were decoronated to a length of 13 mm from the apex. Root canals were prepared by OneShape, 25/0.06 taper file and obturated with a matching single cone gutta percha (25/0.06) using the above-mentioned sealers. All samples were subjected to load by universal testing machine until a point at which root fractured, which was recorded. Results: Teeth obturated with GuttaFlow 2 showed the maximum fracture resistance followed by AH Plus, Dia-ProSeal, and MTA Fillapex. There was no significant difference in fracture resistance between AH Plus and Dia-ProSeal. Conclusion: Teeth obturated with GuttaFlow 2 sealer, which has powdered gutta percha particles, showed the highest fracture resistance. Clinical significance: According to the results obtained from this study, obturation of roots with GuttaFlow 2 increased the resistance of root canal-filled teeth to vertical root fracture.
