Abstract

Objectives

(1) To evaluate the effectiveness of the static-guided (SG) endodontics technique for accessing the root canal through the mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and (2) to evaluate the effect of this technique on the fracture strength of teeth.

Materials and methods

Thirty mandibular premolars were used in the present study. After standard coronal access cavity preparation, root canals were prepared up to size #80 to simulate an immature root apex. White MTA was placed approximately 3 mm below the cementoenamel junction (CEJ), as placed in regenerative endodontic procedures. After the MTA had set, the cavity was restored with a resin composite material. The teeth were randomly divided into two groups (n = 15). In the control group, the composite resin and MTA were removed without any guide. In the SG-access group, a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan was performed, 3D-printed guides were designed and fabricated, and then the composite resin and MTA were removed with a guide. One inexperienced operator performed the removal of the composite resin and MTA in all groups. Pre- and post-operative periapical radiographs were taken. The mishaps and time to penetration to root canal were recorded. After that, the root canals were filled, and the access cavities were restored. The samples were subjected to a fracture strength test. Data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U, independent samples of T test, and chi-square tests at 95% confidence level (P = 0.05).

Results

There were significant differences between the control and SG-access groups in terms of mishaps and time to penetration to the root canal through the MTA barrier (P < 0.05). The SG-access group required the shorter time as compared with the control group. Mishaps did not occur in the SG-access group. The SG-access group exhibited the significantly preserved fracture resistance of the teeth as compared with the control group (P < 0.05). Non-restorable failure occurred more frequently in the control group than in the SG-access group.

Conclusions

Within the limitations of the present study, the SG endodontic technique yielded favorable results with respect to time, mishaps, and fracture strength.

Clinical relevance

The static-guided endodontics technique may provide advantages to the clinician for MTA removal.
