Evaluation of sealing ability of MTA flow, biodentine and pro-root MTA to seal the furcal perforation with and without internal matrix- An In vitro study

Abstract

Introduction: Endodontic mistakes, also known as procedural accidents, are those bad events that occur during treatment, some of which are attributable to a lack of attention to detail and others of which are completely unforeseeable. The second most frequent reason for root canal failure is perforation. Aims and Objective: The current in vitro study's objective was to assess the furcal perforation's potential to be sealed with and without internal matrix by MTA flow, Biodentine, and pro-root MTA. Materials and Methods: 60 samples were allocated into six groups at random (10 each). In intact permanent mandibular first and second teeth, furcal perforation sites were made and sealed with various materials. Following perforation sealing, the specimens' capacity for sealing was evaluated using the dye penetration method. Result: The current study's findings indicated that Group 2 has the least amount of microleakage and Group 5 has the most. Conclusion: Biodentine has excellent sealing capabilities and can be utilised to heal furcation perforations with or without internal matrix.
