ACCURACY OF 3 ELECTRONIC APEX LOCATORS IN NONSURGICAL RETREATMENTS OF TEETH WITH ROOT-ENDS RESECTED AT DIFFERENT ANGLES: IN-VITRO STUDY

Öz:

Aim: The accuracy of three electronic apex locators (EALs) during retreatment of root-end resected teeth with different resection bevel angles were evaluated in the present study. Materials and Methods: Forty mandibular premolar teeth were divided into two groups regarding resection bevel angle after root canal filling. In the first group, the apical 3 mm of each specimen was resected at a 0-degree bevel angle using a diamond bur. The resection bevel angle was approximately 45-degree in the second group. Electronic length measurements were obtained with a size 15 K-file advanced apically in dissolved gutta percha using Dentaport ZX, Propex Pixi, and Apit 15. The filling materials were then completely removed from the root canals, and the actual lengths up to the resection region were determined. The actual length was subtracted from the electronic length measurements for each specimen. Measurements were analyzed statistically using independent sample t-test, repeated-measures analysis of variance, and Bonferroni tests. The level of statistical significance was defined as P<0.05. Results: In the 45-degree group, a significant difference was found between Propex Pixi and Apit 15. Measurements at 0- and 45-degree resection bevel angles were not statistically different from each other in any EAL groups. Conclusions: The resection bevel angle did not affect the accuracy of the tested EALs. More accurate measurements were obtained with the Propex Pixi at a 45-degree resection bevel angle compared with the Apit 15.

Kök Uçları Farklı Açılarda Rezeke Edilmiş Dişlerin Cerrahi Olmayan Yeniden Tedavilerinde 3 Elektronik Apeks Bulucunun Doğruluğu: In-Vitro Çalışma

Öz:

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, farklı rezeksiyon eğim açılarıyla kök ucu rezeke edilmiş dişlerin yeniden tedavileri sırasında üç elektronik apeks bulucunun (EAB) doğruluğu değerlendirildi. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Kırk mandibular premolar diş rezeksiyon eğim açısına göre kanal dolgusu sonrası iki gruba ayrıldı. Birinci grupta, her örneğin apikal 3 mm'si elmas frez kullanılarak 0-derecelik bir eğim açısında rezeke edildi. İkinci grupta rezeksiyon eğim açısı yaklaşık 45-dereceydi. Elektronik uzunluk ölçümleri, Dentaport ZX, Propex Pixi ve Apit 15 kullanılarak çözünmüş güta perka içinde apikal olarak ilerletilmiş 15 numaralı bir K-tipi eğeyle elde edildi. Daha sonra dolgu maddeleri kök kanallarından tamamen uzaklaştırıldı ve rezeksiyon bölgesine kadar olan gerçek kanal uzunlukları belirlendi. Her örnek için gerçek uzunluk, elektronik uzunluk ölçümlerinden çıkarıldı. Ölçümler independent sample t-test, tekrarlı ölçümlerde varyans analizi ve Bonferroni testleri kullanılarak istatistiksel olarak analiz edildi. İstatistiksel anlamlılık düzeyi P<0.05 olarak tanımlandı. Bulgular: 45-derece grubunda Propex Pixi ve Apit 15 arasında anlamlı fark bulundu. 0- ve 45-derecelik rezeksiyon eğim açılarındaki ölçümler, hiçbir EAB grubunda istatistiksel olarak birbirinden farklı değildi. Sonuçlar: Rezeksiyon eğim açısı, test edilen EAB'ların doğruluğunu etkilemedi. Propex Pixi ile 45-derecelik rezeksiyon eğim açısında Apit 15'e göre daha doğru ölçümler elde edildi.
