OBJECTIVE This study evaluated in vitro the influence of an eugenol-based sealer (EndoFill) on the retention of stainless steel prefabricated posts cemented with zinc phosphate and resin-based (Panavia F) cements after different periods of root canal obturation, using the pull-out test. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty upper canines were decoronated and the roots were embedded in resin blocks. The ...

This case report describes intratubular biomineralization in root canal, filled with calcium-enriched material after 8 years of clinical maintenance. The schematic findings of dentinal tubules were investigated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The root canal obturation material was closely adapted to root dentin surface, suggesting the possibilit...

A 48-year-old male patient presented to the Department of Endodontics for evaluation of right first permanent molar, which had received non-surgical root canal treatment two years ago and was restored with core material. The presenting symptoms included swelling in the buccal vestibule and pain overnight. Clinical examination demonstrated that the mandibular right first molar was sensitive to p...

The objectives of endodontics are the prevention and cure periapical disease (Apical Periodontitis); which is achieved by cleaning disinfection root canal system subsequent obturation spaces filling with inert materials, avoiding reinfection persistent inflammation [1].

Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has emerged as a reliable bioactive material with extended applications in endodontics that include the obturation of the root canal space. This article examines the literature supporting MTA as a canal filling material, suggests methods for its delivery and placement, and presents clinical cases that demonstrate its effectiveness in resolving apical periodontit...

Background: It is difficult to identify a potential sealant with penetration depth until practically analyzed. A scanning electron microscopy (SEM) overview could better describe the internal picture of the materials sealed to the tooth surface on in vitro experimentation since it being a vital procedure for successful obturation. Hence, this study was undertaken to compare the penetration dept...

C C bstract he purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical utcome differences of root canal obturation by warm utta-percha (GP) or cold lateral condensation (CLC) hrough a systematic review and meta-analysis. There ere 10 clinical studies evaluated. Postoperative pain, ong-term outcomes, obturation quality, and overextenion were the characteristics investigated. The results uggest that the t...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical outcome differences of root canal obturation by warm gutta-percha (GP) or cold lateral condensation (CLC) through a systematic review and meta-analysis. There were 10 clinical studies evaluated. Postoperative pain, long-term outcomes, obturation quality, and overextension were the characteristics investigated. The results suggest that the two o...

BACKGROUND Endodontic procedures such as root canal treatment would be at the risk of failure like other medical interventions due to any unsuitable conditions. This has a causative effect in making the procedure more complicated to resulting in weak prognosis finally. Technical errors such as ledge, perforation, obstruction, broken instrument, etc. make infection control too hard or impossible...
