Fig. 1

Comparison of (Mean ± S.D) Optical Density of three different root-end filling materials by two different burs. Graph 1 depicts mean ± S.D. OD for samples filled with GIC, MTA and Biodentine in which retrograde cavity was prepared with two different round burs: Carbide versus Diamond respectively. The significant difference was observed in between GIC and MTA (p = 0.0001) as well as GIC and Biodentine (p = 0.0001) with two different burs but statistically non-significant difference was observed between MTA and Biodentine with Carbide bur (p = 0.127) and Diamond bur (p = 0.496) respectively. While comparing Mean ± S.D. for two different round burs for retrograde cavity preparations (Carbide versus Diamond) of three different materials, statistically non-significant difference was observed between intra-groups GIC-Carbide versus GIC-Diamond (p = 1.000), MTA-Carbide versus MTA-Diamond (p = 1.000) and Biodentine-Carbide versus Biodentine-Diamond (p = 1.000).
