Abstract
Purpose: To assess the push out bond strength (POBS) of a syringe-mixed resin sealer and a premixed bioceramic sealer to root dentin exposed to different gutta-percha (GP) solvents and to determine the mode of failure. Methods: A total of 200 horizontal root slices (1 mm thickness) were prepared up to size 40, 0.04 taper and randomly divided into four main groups based on solvent (Endosolv, orange oil, chloroform) and control (saline), then subdivided into two subgroups based on sealer type (AH Plus Jet and iRoot SP). Samples were exposed to respective solvents for 5 minutes and after the final rinsing, canal spaces were filled with either AH Plus Jet or iRoot SP. POBS test was performed 2 weeks after incubation and mode of failure following POBS test was evaluated. Data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA and Dunnett post hoc analysis (P< 0.05). Failure mode patterns were categorized as adhesive, cohesive and mixed failures. Results: There was no significant difference (P> 0.05) in POBS between all solvent groups against the control in both AH Plus Jet and iRoot SP groups. Regardless of the use of solvents, AH Plus Jet group had significantly higher bond strength (P< 0.001) compared to iRoot SP group. The predominant mode of failure was mixed failure in all groups irrespective of type of sealer and exposure to solvents.
