| Abstract | ||
| Aim: This study aimed to assess the sealing ability of biodentine versus Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) in extracted primary molars with furcal perforation. Materials and Methods: Forty-two extracted primary molars were collected, cleaned and then divided randomly into two equal groups (n = 21). The teeth were embedded in wax blocks. Preparing the access cavity in the typical manner was done, and each tooth's pulpal floor was purposefully perforated with a 0.5 mm round bur. The perforations were sealed in Group A with MTA and in Group B with biodentine. After 24 hours, the samples underwent longitudinal sectioning, and the spaces between the perforation walls and the repair material were measured in microns using scanning electron microscope at magnification 1000x to assess sealing ability. Results: biodentine has a significantly lower gap distance (highest sealing ability) (2.72±0.67) (µm) in comparison to MTA (3.69±0.82) (µm) (p<0.001). Conclusion: With superior sealing capabilities, biodentine can act as a substitute for MTA. | ||
