Aims: The purpose of this study was to compare microleakage of dowel systems: Stainless steel dowel system (SSD), resin-supported polyethylene fiber dowels (RSPFD), Zirconia dowels (ZD) and glass fiber dowels (GFD) luted with two different resin cements. Materials and Methods: The root canals of 96 teeth were restored and two resin cements (Multilink Automix and Clearfil Esthetic cement) were used in cementation procedure. Using the computerized fluid filtration method, microleakage of the specimens was measured at 1 week, and 6 months. Results: The data indicated that the microleakage values varied according to the luting cement used (P < 0.05). The initial microleakage of ParaPost was similar with the other dowel systems, but this microleakage increased over time (P < 0.05). In contrast; microleakage of Ribbond, Cosmopost and Superpost dowels remained constant (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Esthetic dowels tested exhibited less microleakage compared to stainless steel dowel system. Statistically, Multilink Automix cement showed higher microleakage than Clearfil Esthetic cement. |
