COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF SEALING ABILITY OF FOUR DIFFERENT ROOT REPAIR MATERIALS USED FOR FURCATION PERFORATION REPAIR: AN INVITRO STUDY

Aim: The present study aimed to evaluate and compare the sealing ability of Hidense, Bio MTA, Biodentine and Bio c repair in furcation perforations using protein leakage assessment. Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted using eighty extracted human maxillary and mandibular molars with intact furcation. The samples were randomly allocated into five groups (n = 16) based on repair material used: Group 1 - Hidense, Group 2 - Bio MTA, Group 3 - Biodentine, Group 4 - Bio c repair and Group 5 - Control group. Using the leakage assessment apparatus, the presence of protein was detected with a reagent (Coomassive Brilliant Blue) every day for 60 days.
