Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the sealing ability of Resilon after retreatment. STUDY DESIGN:Sixty-six single-rooted mandibular premolars were enlarged to apical size 45 and then obturated with Resilon. The roots were randomly divided into 3 groups (n = 22/group). In group 1 no further treatment was done. Groups 2 and 3 were reinstrumented to apical size 60 using K-files and ProFile, respectively. In each group, 4 samples were kept for environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) analysis. The remaining roots from groups 2 and 3 were refilled with Resilon. Sixteen roots from each group were then evaluated for microleakage; two roots served as controls. Data were analyzed statistically by Kruskall-Wallis test. RESULTS: There were no significant differences between the experimental groups (P > .05). The ESEM showed new attachment of resin tags on the dentin surface of retreated roots. CONCLUSION: Resilon can be used for retreatment, but it still allowed microleakage.
