This is an in vitro assessment of pH level and calcium ion release exhibited by 3 calcium hydroxide-based root canal sealers-Sealapex, Apexit, and Acroseal.
The materials were prepared according to the manufacturers' instructions and placed in 1 cm long and 4 mm diameter tubes. The tubes were then immersed in a glass flask containing 10 mL bidistilled water (n = 15), which was sealed and stored at 37 degrees C before the materials had set. The control group contained bidistilled water with empty tubes (n = 12). At predetermined time intervals (24 h, 96 h, and 7, 15, and 28 days) the pH of the bidistilled water was tested with a pH meter and for released calcium by using spectrophotometry. The data were statistically analyzed using 1-way analysis of variance for the comparison of the materials at each time point. If the difference was significant, individual comparisons were performed by Tukey multiple comparisons test (alpha = .05).
Sealapex produced higher pH and released significantly higher calcium amounts than the other 2 sealers at all periods (P < .05). Apexit showed higher calcium release than Acroseal at the end of 15 days (P < .05). There was no significant difference in the pH between Apexit and Acroseal (P > .05).
The new Acroseal sealer presented the least calcium ion release and pH than Sealapex and less calcium ion release than Apexit sealer.
本研究旨在对三种氢氧化钙类根管封闭剂——Sealapex、Apexit和Acroseal的pH值及钙离子释放情况进行体外评估。
按照制造商说明书准备材料,并将其置于长度为1厘米、直径为4毫米的试管中。然后将试管浸入装有10毫升双蒸水的玻璃烧瓶中(n = 15),在材料凝固前将烧瓶密封并在37℃下储存。对照组为装有双蒸水的空试管(n = 12)。在预定的时间间隔(24小时、96小时、7天、15天和28天),使用pH计测试双蒸水的pH值,并采用分光光度法检测释放的钙离子。使用单因素方差分析对各时间点的材料数据进行统计学分析,以比较材料间的差异。若差异显著,则通过Tukey多重比较检验进行个体比较(α = 0.05)。
在所有时间段内,Sealapex产生的pH值更高,释放的钙量也显著高于其他两种封闭剂(P < 0.05)。在15天结束时,Apexit的钙离子释放量高于Acroseal(P < 0.05)。Apexit和Acroseal之间的pH值无显著差异(P > 0.05)。
新型Acroseal封闭剂的钙离子释放量和pH值均低于Sealapex,且钙离子释放量低于Apexit封闭剂。
