Abstract:

Objective The purpose of this study is to study the sealing ability and the furcal appearance of repairing subpulpal wall perforation with resinous inlay. Methods Fifty newly extracted human molars were randomly divided into three experiment groups（group A, group B, group C, 15 teeth each） and one control group（5 teeth）. In experiment groups, perforations were made perpendicularly to the center of the pulp chamber floor. Perforations of group A and B were repaired with resinous inlay and sealed by AH Plus sealer and luting glass-ionomer, respectively. Perforations of group C were directly repaired using light-cure composite resin. Perforations were not made in five teeth of control group. The furcal appearances were evaluated under stereomicroscope after repairing. Microleakage was measured by glucose oxidase detection． Results The fineness rate of furcal appearances with resinous inlay repairing were 83.3%, while the fineness rate of furcal appearances with light-cure composite resin directly repairing were 46.7%. There were statistics difference between resinous inlay repairing and light-cure composite resin directly repairing（P<0.05）. There were statistics difference among the daily microleakage of three experiment groups, group A
