Perforation is a communication between the root canal system and the surrounding tissues through the floor of the pulp chamber or root canal wall of the tooth. 1, 2 It can occur as a result of a large carious lesion in or adjacent to the floor of the pulp chamber, internal or external root resorption, and during endodontic treatment or after space preparation. The long-term prognosis of a perforated tooth is dependent upon the location of the perforation, how long the perforation is exposed to oral contamination, and the ability to seal the perforation. 1 Experimental studies of periodontal tissue reaction after perforations in monkeys’ and in dogs’ teeth, together with some clinical investigation of perforations in human teeth, suggest that perforation in the cervical third of the root or in the floor of the pulp chamber have the least favorable prognosis after treatment. 3, 4 These types of perforation usually increase the possibility of epithelial proliferation and periodontitis. 1, 5 Nonsurgical immediate repair using proper filling material may prevent the resulting communication between perforation site and gingival sulcus and thus favorable prognosis could be achieved. 6 Amalgam has been the standard material for repairing furcal perforation for many years. 7, 8 Recently, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) material was found to be superior to most of the dental materials that have been tried to repair furcal perforation. 9, 10 Repair of the perforated defect is usually complicated by the fact that the size of the defect may allow extrusion of the material into the periodontal ligament space and surrounding structures. This may preclude success regardless of the material used. The concept of using internal biocompatible matrices such as calcium sulfate, hydroxyapatite, or HAPSET (Lifecore Biomedical, Chaska, MN, USA) was suggested in an attempt to control the extrusion of the filling materials as well as increase the sealing ability of the repaired materials. 6, 11-13 Calcium sulfate has also been used as a bone substitute for filling defects. According to Bahn, 14 it acts as a space filler, and the most important advantage of its use is its natural rate of resorption, which compared closely with the rate of new bone growing into a defect. Therefore, its use as an internal matrix under repaired material of defected contaminated perforation might enhance the healing of the damaged tissue. Although one published study 9 that deals with repairing contaminated furcation perforation using MTA alone has been investigated histologically, no such study has been performed for the use of internal matrices as a promoter of bone healing with MTA. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the histologic healing response of experimentally induced furcal perforations in dogs’ teeth contaminated with saliva and repaired with MTA with or without internal matrices (calcium sulfate). Results were compared to amalgam.
