Abstract

Objectives The purpose of the present study was to investigate the created roughness and cell attachment of intact teeth (C), obturated teeth with bioceramic (BR), or epoxy resin (AH) after root resection using piezoelectric ultrasonic and carbide bur.

Materials and Methods Three groups of first mandibular premolars were used in the present study: control group (without any preparation or obturation) (C); second group was obturated with an epoxy resin sealer (AH, AH Plus Jet); and finally, the third one was obturated with a bioceramic sealer (BR, BioRoot RCS). All teeth were incubated for 4 months at 37°C. After that, the samples were sectioned using tungsten carbide bur or piezoelectric ultrasonic. Roughness and then cell attachment of periodontal ligament cells on the sectioned surfaces were investigated by profilometer and confocal microscope, respectively.

Statistical Analysis Data were statistically analyzed using one-way analysis of variance.

Results After root resection, no significant difference was found between the roughness among the three groups sectioned using the piezoelectric technique (p > 0.05). In contrast, concerning the sectioned samples by burs, C demonstrated a rougher surface compared with BR (p < 0.05). There was a significant higher cell attachment in BR compared with AH in the piezoelectric groups (p = 0.047), while no statistically significant difference was found between the groups sectioned with bur (p > 0.05).

Conclusion Dentists are now focused on the use of calcium silicate-based sealers due to their bioactivity. The present study advises dentists to use bioceramic sealer which could improve the dentin characteristics which ameliorate the cell attachment.
