Abstract

Background:  The aim of the present study was to evaluate the sealing ability of Biodentine and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), to repair the furcation perforations using field emission gun scanning electron microscopy (FEG SEM). Materials and Methods: Twenty-four extracted human mandibular molar were collected. After their visual inspection to ensure that the teeth did not show any resorption, fracture lines, caries, curvatures and fusion, the teeth were washed and polished by pumice and water and then stored in 10% formalin. They were divided into two groups and examined under microscope Results: Quantifiable FEG SEM remarks made in this study illustrated that the mean gap at the dentin–furcation repair material interface was as follows: 4.43 ± 0.41 µm for Biodentine™ [Figure 1] and 3.42 ± 0.32 µm for ProRoot MTA Conclusion: Biodentine showed a better result than the MTA. The difference between both the group was not significant. Biodentine™ can also be considered as a material of choice for furcation perforation repair.
