This 2-part randomized parallel triple-blind clinical trial adopts a unique model assessing clinically-set hydraulic calcium silicate-based sealers (HCSBS) after different root canal dryness protocols and obturation techniques.
For the first phase of the study, 24 teeth scheduled for orthodontic extractions were allocated into four groups according to the canal dryness protocol and the obturation technique. G1 (CLC-AHP): cold lateral compaction (CLC) with AH Plus sealer, G2 (CLC-ES-SD): CLC with Endosequence (ES) after standard canal(s) dryness (SD); G3 (SC-ES-SD): matching single-cone (SC) with ES after SD; G4 (SC-ES-PD): as G3 but after partial canal(s) dryness (PD). Teeth were extracted after one month of clinical service and examined for intracanal voids by micro-CT (2D & 3D). For the 2nd phase, another 24 teeth were allocated into four groups according to the root canal dryness protocol and the HCSBS used (ES or CeraSeal (CeS)). Teeth were extracted after one month and sectioned vertically for energy dispersive X-ray (EDX)/scanning electron microscope (SEM) examination. One-way ANOVA with Games-Howell post-hoc test and Chi-square test with multiple z-tests were used for statistical analysis.
SC-PD showed the highest percentage of voids (p < 0.05). MicroCT scans as well as EDX/SEM examination showed that PD resulted in significantly larger interfacial gaps (p < 0.001) with more hydration products at the sealer/dentin interface than SD.
Both tested dryness protocols allowed the hydration of HCSBS and the formation of hydration products, thus standard dryness is recommended to reduce the incidence of intracanal voids.
When using the single-cone obturation technique, intentional root canal moisture negatively affects the performance of HCSBS.

本随机平行双盲临床试验分两部分进行,采用独特的模型评估临床设定的水基硅酸钙基密封剂(HCSBS)在不同根管干燥方案和封闭技术后的效果。
在研究的第一阶段,根据根管干燥方案和封闭技术,将 24 颗计划正畸拔牙的牙齿分为四组。G1(CLC-AHP):冷侧压(CLC)加 AH Plus 密封剂,G2(CLC-ES-SD):CLC 加 Endosequence(ES)后标准干燥(SD);G3(SC-ES-SD):与 ES 匹配的单尖(SC)后 SD;G4(SC-ES-PD):与 G3 相同,但为部分干燥(PD)。一个月的临床服务后,将牙齿拔出,用微 CT(2D 和 3D)检查根管内的空隙。第二阶段,根据根管干燥方案和使用的 HCSBS(ES 或 CeraSeal(CeS)),将另外 24 颗牙齿分为四组。一个月后,将牙齿垂直切开,进行能量色散 X 射线(EDX)/扫描电子显微镜(SEM)检查。采用单因素方差分析(One-way ANOVA)和 Games-Howell 事后检验以及卡方检验(Chi-square test)和多重 z 检验进行统计学分析。
SC-PD 组的空隙率最高(p<0.05)。微 CT 扫描和 EDX/SEM 检查显示,PD 导致界面间隙明显增大(p<0.001),与 SD 相比,牙本质界面处的水合产物更多。
两种测试的干燥方案都允许 HCSBS 的水合和水合产物的形成,因此建议采用标准干燥以减少根管内空隙的发生。
当使用单尖根管封闭技术时,根管内的水分会对 HCSBS 的性能产生负面影响。
