A obturacao do canal radicular visa um perfeito selamento. Contudo, possiveis falhas podem propiciar infiltracao de microrganismos e levar ao insucesso do tratamento. Com o intuito de detectar a solucao de continuidade entre o material obturador e a parede do conduto, podem ser utilizados varios modelos experimentais e materiais obturadores. Um dos modelos e a microinfiltracao de corantes em dentes extraidos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a eficacia do Super-Bonder, esmalte para unha, resina epoxica de presa de 10 minutos e de 24 horas como materiais impermeabilizantes. Para tanto, foram utilizados 50 dentes bovinos unirradiculares, que tiveram suas coroas removidas e os canais preparados. Em 4 grupos de 10 elementos (um grupo para cada material), realizou-se o selamento da regiao coronaria e apical com plug de guta-percha sem obturacao dos canais. Num outro grupo, os canais foram obturados e repetiu-se a impermeabilizacao com esmalte de unha. Foi realizada a aplicacao do impermeabilizante a ser estudado em toda superficie externa do dente e imersao dos especimes na solucao corante azul de metileno a 2% em ambiente de vacuo. Apos a clivagem longitudinal, os especimes foram examinados em uma lupa estereoscopica. Os resultados mostraram que o esmalte de unha em canal obturado exerceu uma efetiva impermeabilizacao, enquanto os demais grupos, os quais nao receberam obturacao, nao diferiram entre si e mostraram-se inefetivos em todos os especimes. Confirma-se, portanto, que o esmalte pode ser utilizado como impermeabilizante, mesmo em condicoes de vacuo, desde que os canais radiculares estejam obturados(AU) The aim of the endodontic obturation is the properly sealing of the root canal system. However, some failures can occur and let microorganisms infiltrate and lead to the failure. Several methods can be used to detect failure between the obturating material and root canal walls, one of them is the microleakage of ink. The goal of this work was to evaluate the ability of Super-Bonder, nail polish, epoxi resin with 10 and 24 min of set to externally seal the root surface. It was used 50 cowAEs teeth, which had their crowns removed and the root canals instrumented. In 4 groups of tem teeth each one, it was performed the coronary and apical sealing with gutta-pecha without obturation of the root canals. In other group, the root canals were filled and externally sealed with nail polish. It was performed the application of the materials on the external surface and the teeth were immersed in 2% methylene blue under vaccum. After the split, the teeth were examined in esteromicroscope. The results showed that the nail polish, when used in filled root canal , performed an effective sealing, while the other groups, which did not receive the filling, did not differ among them and they were ineffective in many cases. It was confirm that the nail polish can be used in the routine, even in vacuum condition, as long as the canals be filled(AU)
