CLINICAL EVALUATION OF ROOT CANAL OBTURATION QUALITY USING TWO DIFFERENT SEALERS AND OBTURATION TECHNIQUES BY CONE BEAM COMPUTERIZED TOMOGRAPHY (IN-VIVO STUDY)

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Missed root/canal is one of the main causes of endodontic failure. Permanent mandibular canine is considered to be a single rooted tooth. The complex pattern of root canal system poses difficulty in the root canal treatment and the prognosis becomes uncertain if the debridement and obturation of the root canals is not satisfactory therefore our objective of the study is to assess frequency of two roots in permanent mandibular canine of Pakistani population using CBCT scan. METHODOLOGY: A descriptive; retrospective study was planned by using Cone Beam Computerized Tomography (CBCT) images of the past 02 year, i.e. December 2017 till November 2018. Images were assessed for the number of roots in permanent mandibular canines using software NNTVIEWER NewTOM. Data was entered and analyzed using SPSS 21. RESULTS: 134 permanent mandibular canines of 67 patients were studied. 64.2% of the images were of male patients while 35.8% were of females. Mean age of the patients was 48.12 ± 15.92 years. 7 (5.22%) out of 134 canines had two roots. 4 patients (5.97%) had canines with 2 roots of which 3 patients (4.48%) had bilateral two-rooted canines and 1 patient (1.49%) had unilateral two-rooted canines. Frequency of two roots in mandibular canines had no association with gender (p= 0.127). CONCLUSION: All mandibular permanent canines were single rooted but 5.2% of the permanent mandibular canines had two roots.

The Difference

Objective: To evaluate the efficiency of 3 different obturation techniques; motor driven lentulospiral, hand held lentulospiral and reamer in primary anterior teeth and presence of voids by analyzing with CBCT. Study Design: 60 single rooted extracted primary teeth were prepared and obturated with ZOE paste. Obturation methods were divided into three groups. GROUP I- motor driven lentulo spiral, II- hand held lentulo spiral and III- reamer. Obturated samples were scanned in CBCT machine and images were analysed for the evaluation of their quality of fill comprising presence, location and size of voids. Results : At all the locations, Group II had maximum number of sites with voids when compared to other two groups. However, statistically significant intergroup differences were observed only at coronal third location (p=0.001) and overall assessment (p=0.003). Number of affected sites revealed the difference between Groups I and II be significant statistically (p=0.002) while the difference between Groups I and III and between Groups II and III was not significant statistically (p>0.05). At all the locations as well as for combined assessment, Group I had minimum mean size of the void. Conclusion : Motor driven lentulo spiral technique demonstrated more number of optimal fills with fewer voids when compared to hand held lentulo spiral technique and reamer.
