Objective: This study was undertaken to compare microhardness and erosion susceptibility of root dentine in teeth extracted from diabetic and non-diabetic donors after the application of different root canal irrigants.

Methods: Forty-eight single-rooted premolars with single canals (24 each from diabetic and non-diabetic) were selected, and root canals were shaped by using rotary ProTaper files. Dentine slices of 4 mm were transversely sectioned from the middle root third.

Article Synopsis
  • A study looked at how strong the roots of teeth from diabetic patients are when under pressure compared to non-diabetic teeth.
  • They used different materials to fill the teeth, like white mineral trioxide aggregate (WMTA) and another mixture with an additive, to see which helped make the teeth stronger.
  • The results showed that teeth from diabetic patients were more likely to break, but using WMTA or WMTA with an additive made them stronger and less likely to fracture.
