Abstract
Objective. The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the coronal microleakage in endodontic
access cavities restored with Kalzinol (zinc oxide eugenol, De Trey, Dentsply Dental
Products of India Ltd) and a zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE) intermediate restorative material
at different intervals. Study Design. Restored access cavities were immersed in 2% freshly prepared methylene blue dye,
and dye penetration was evaluated at 1-, 2-, 4-, and 7-day intervals. Results. ZOE cement displayed dye penetration throughout the complete depth of the restoration,
reaching the pulp chamber by the second day, whereas Kalzinol produced leakage reaching
the pulp chamber on the fourth day. Conclusion. Results indicated that none of the ZOE formulations tested could predictably produce
a fluid-tight seal even up to the fourth day. We therefore recommend early replacement
of these restorations during and after endodontic treatment to produce a better prognosis.
