Effect of various endodontic solutions on punch out strength of Resilon under cyclic loading

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Before obturation, various endodontic solutions are used as a final rinse. These solutions might affect the bond strength of Resilon-Epiphany system. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of NaOCl (5.25%), chlorhexidine CHX (2%), EDTA solution (17%), and BioPure MTAD on push out bond strength of Resilon-Epiphany system. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seventy-five human premolar roots were prepared and divided on the basis of final endodontic solution rinse. The canals were obturated with Resilon-Epiphany system. All samples were restored using a fiber post system and indirect composite crown. The samples received 150 000 cycles of mechanical loading. Push out bond strength was performed in the apical third of root having Resilon obturation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Different endodontic solutions tested, did not affected the push out bond strength of Resilon-Epiphany obturation system.
