Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the sealing ability of MTA for furcal 
perforation in primary molars. Materials and methods: artificial furcal perforation of 1.12mm
diameter were performed in 40 freshly extracted primary molars and then divided in to 2 equal groups 
(20 molars per group); group 1, unrepaired artificial perforation (control group) and group 2, artificial 
perforation repaired by MTA (experimental group) using 1% basic fuchsin dye and UV visible 
spectrophotometer to detect sealing ability of experimental group versus control group. Results: MTA 
group [0.23±0.025] demonstrated a high statistical significance in comparison with unrepaired group 
[0.487±0.033] Conclusion: MTA has effective sealing of furcal perforation in primary molars.
