  Aim: This study investigated the feasibility of an approach to determine the volume of dye penetration using methlene blue as dye in comparison to a well known dye extraction method. Materials and methods: One hundred and fifty teeth were randomly divided into two groups (dye extraction or dye penetration methods) of 75 teeth. After, 75 teeth were divided into 3 subgroups for three different root canal sealers. For the volumetric analysis of dye penetration method area of penetration was converted into volume and quantitative analysis was performed. For the dye extraction method dye concentration in the solution was analyzed using an UV-spectrophotometer. In both techniques roots were evacuated prior to dye introduction to prevent air entrapments providing reliable results. The sealabilities of.. View More»
