Abstract :
Aim & Objective: To compare the microleakage caused by MTA and Titanium nanoparticle-modified MTA as a material for treating access perforation repair in extracted human teeth.
Background: Perforation is one of the most frequent side effects of endodontic treatment which can have serious consequences on the further treatment protocol. It happens when practitioners attempt to create access to the pulp chamber to initiate root canal treatment.
Perforation needs to be addressed as soon as it occurs because contamination from the perforation site to the root canal reduces the potential for the wound to heal.
Materials and Methods: The purpose of this study was to assess the microleakage of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) and Titanium nanoparticle modified Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) as materials for treating access perforations. The assessment of microleakage involved the use of a stereo microscope to examine the penetration of methylene blue 1% solution between the perforation site and the restoration material. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to examine the data.
Results: As a material for treating access perforation, Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) and Titanium nanoparticle modified Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) do not significantly differ in microleakage, according to statistical analysis of the data.
Conclusion: Titanium nanoparticles which enhanced the closure density and improved adaptation to the dentin in the perforation area resulted in significant resistance to microleakage of methylene blue dye.
