Objective: To explore the influence on micro leakage from root tip and tooth root’s bending strength by different combinations of root canal preparation and filling technology. Methods: 186 extracted teeth were selected and randomly divided into 6 experimental groups (A, B, C, D, E, F group, 30 teeth per group) and positive, negative control group (G, H group, 3 teeth per group). Group A, B, C were given root canal preparation by step-down technique, and group D, E, F were given step-back technique. Subsequently, BeeFillTM 2in1 teeth filling system was used in group A and D to fill root canal, and group B and E were given Cortisomol paste with warm gutta percha fill with vertical compression method, yet group G and H were not given any filling. The dye penetration method was used to measure root tip’s micro leakage, and tooth root’s bending strength was also measured in each group. Results: With the same filling method, the dye penetration lengths of group A, B, C were all less than those of group D, E, F respectively(t=3.29~4.66,P<0.05), and group A, B, C’s maximum compressive loads were higher than those of group D, E, F respectively(t=3.11~4.50,P<0.05). With the same preparation methods, dye penetration length in group A was less than that of group B and C(t=3.32~4.77,P<0.05),and dye penetration length of group D was less than that of group E and F group(t=3.17~4.35,P<0.05).Group A,B,C’s maximum compressive load decreased successively(F=5.13,P<0.05),and group D,E, F’s maximum compressive load also decreased (F=4.87,P<0.05),yet there was no statistical difference in maximum compressive load between group G and H(t=0.00,P>0.05). Conclusions: The use of root canal preparation with step-down technique, and BeeFillTM 2in1 teeth filling system can effectively reduce micro leakage from root tip and improve tooth root’s bending strength, which has reference value for selection of root canal preparation and filling techniques.
