Abstract
In addition to an initial report on the creation of thick demineralized collagen matrices in root dentin that were irrigated with BioPure MTAD or EDTA as final rinses for 5 minutes, this study examined the effect of a 2-minute irrigation time of these final irrigants on the extent of demineralization of intact intraradicular dentin and on interfacial nanoleakage after obturation with AH Plus and gutta-percha using warm vertical compaction. Transmission electron microscopy confirmed that the reduction in irrigation time did not compromise the smear layer removing capacity of these two irrigants when 1.3% NaOCl was employed as the initial rinse. BioPure MTAD created 5 to 6 μm thick demineralized dentin matrices, while 17% EDTA produced 1 to 2 μm thick matrices that were suboptimally infiltrated by the epoxy resin-based sealer, as manifested by the occurrence of silver tracer deposits within the hybrid layers.
