PENGARUH SEALER EPOXY BIS-PHENOL RESIN DAN GLASS IONOMER CEMENT TERHADAP PERLUNAKAN GUTAPERCA MENGGUNAKAN CAJUPUT OIL
Abstract
The most dominant cause of root canal treatment failure is nonhermetic
obturation. It could be prevented with the use of sealer material. The
sealer that has a good bond with the dentin wall is sealer epoxy bis-phenol resin
sealer and Glass Ionomer Cement. A natural material that could dissolve guttapercha
in root canal re-treatment is eucalyptus oil. The eucalyptus oil has an
antimicrobial effect, bio-compatible and recommended for use in root canal retreatment.
Objective: To determine the effect of epoxy bis-phenol resin sealer and
Glass Ionomer Cement sealer in softening the gutta-percha using cajuput oil.
Methods: The design of this study was pure laboratory experimental. This study
was using 24 samples of single root canal acrylic block. The samples were treated
differently by the type of sealer used and incubation time (15 days, 22 days, 29
days). The data were processed using one-way ANOVA and Post-Hoc Tukey test
with significance level 95% (p <0,05). Result: There was a significant effect of
epoxy bis-phenol resin sealer and Glass Ionomer Cement sealer in softening
gutta-percha using cajuput oil. The result of one-way ANOVA analysis obtained a
significance value of 0.000 (p <0,05). The results of Post-Hoc test analysis
showed that the resin sealer which was incubated for 15 days after contact with
cajuput oil for 5 minutes had a higher softening value compared to the Glass
Ionomer Cement sealer which was incubated for 15 days, 22 days and 28 days
after contacting with cajuput oil for 5 minutes. Conclusion: Sealer epoxy bisphenol
resin is easier to remove than Glass Ionomer Cement sealer with cajuput
oil solvent.
