In the following chapter, an overview of the in-vitro study is presented. The materials
used and the execution of the pull-out test are explained. Finally, the results are
summarized and a conclusion is drawn. This in vitro study examined the zinc oxide
eugenol-based sealer Pulp Canal Sealer (PCS) from Kerr. The adhesion between sealer
and dentin was determined after heating to various temperatures using a push-out test
according to Ebert et al. [33]. In endodontics, various thermoplastic filling techniques
are used for root canal filling. Thereby the root canal is filled by heating guttapercha
in order to make use of its thermoplastic characteristics. The aim of this
study was to investigate whether the zinc oxide eugenol-based Pulp Canal Sealer
shows temperature-depending differences in terms of adhesion.
The Shapiro-Wilk test revealed a normal distribution in all groups except group 3.
Nevertheless, a parametric analysis using ANOVA was applied because it is considered
sufficiently robust against the normal distribution assumption when performed
using SPSS.
The univariate ANOVA yielded p = 0.668. Thus, there was no significant difference
between any of the groups. Levene’s test yielded p = 0.227. Thus, it was shown that
variance homogeneity existed. The highest adhesive force of 2,75MPa was observed
in group 5 (125 °C). The lowest adhesive force was measured in group 3 (85 °C) with
1,61MPa, although the differences were not significant. Analysis of the correlation of
fracture modes with bond strength was calculated by the Spearmann-Rho correlation
coefficient rs. This was rs = −0 136, so no significant correlation between bond
strength and fracture mode could be determined.
In summary, no significant difference was found between the adhesive force and
increasing temperature or fracture mode.
