Abstract: (15 Views)
Introduction: Furcation perforation is a critical endodontic complication requiring effective sealing with biocompatible materials. Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA), derived from cement, and has been successfully used to repair lateral root and furcal perforations in apexogenesis and as a vital pulp capping agent. This study aimed to compare the microleakage of BioMTA, Angelus MTA, and Root MTA in repairing furcation perforations in mandibular molars using a bacterial leakage model.
Materials & Methods: In this in vitro study, 55 extracted intact human mandibular molars were divided into three experimental groups (n=15) and positive and negative control groups (n=5 each). Perforation sites in Groups 1, 2, and 3 were repaired with Angelus MTA, BioMTA, and Root MTA, respectively. Sealing ability was assessed using an Enterococcus faecalis dual-chamber bacterial leakage model over 30 days. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis (p<0.05was considered significant).
Results: All positive control samples showed turbidity, whereas no negative control samples exhibited bacterial leakage. No significant differences in microleakage or mean survival time were found among the three MTA materials. The microleakage rates were 26.7%, 33.3%, and 40.0% for BioMTA, Angelus MTA, and Root MTA, respectively.
Conclusion: Given the lack of significant differences among the three materials, selection may be based on ease of use, economy, and availability.
