Background/Aim: This in-vitro study evaluated the apical-sealing ability of MTA, MTA+10% CaCl2, Biodentine™ and RMGIC when used as retrograde material. Material Methods: A total 80 single-rooted bovine incisors were decoronated, instrumented, divided into 4 groups according to material, follows: Group 1: MTA (ProRoot Dentsply); 2: Dentsply) + 10% CaCl2; 3: Biodentine (Biodentine®, Septodont); 4...

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a recent three-dimensional (3D) radiographic imaging modality used for the accurate diagnosis, management and follow-up of endodontic problems. In tooth with open apex and periapical lesion, the use of new obturation material such as white mineral trioxide aggregate (wMTA) facilitates faster and more predictable closure of root apex and periapical healing...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to introduce modified continuous wave compaction (MCWC) technique and compare its obturation quality with that of lateral compaction (LC), warm vertical compaction (WVC) and continuous wave compaction techniques (CWC). The obturation time was also compared among the four techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-four single-rooted teeth with 0-5° root canal ...

Successes of endodontic treatment depend on cleaning and shaping of root canal and adequately obturate the prepared root canal space. 1-3 Obturation has historically been achieved with gutta percha and a sealer. The root canal system has many variations in anatomy such as irregularly shaped canals, lateral and accessory canals, anastomoses between canals and a variety of fins. All this leads to...

The American Association of Endodontists defines root canal obturation as the complete, three-dimensional obturation of the root of canal system, as close as possible to the cemento-dentinal junction without overor underfilling. Moreover, obturation should be carried out using a minimal amount of biocompatible sealer and the obturated canal should demonstrate a radiographically dense filling ex...

A split-tooth model with artificially created intracanal wall defects was used to compare three gutta-percha (GP) obturation techniques, cold lateral, warm lateral, and warm vertical. The techniques were evaluated and compared based on defect replication quality as a function of defect location and size. The obturations were evaluated on an ordinal scale, 0 to 4, based on how much each defect w...

INTRODUCTION Success of non-surgical root canal treatment is predicted by meticulous cleaning and shaping of the root canal system, three-dimensional obturation and a well-fitting "leakage-free" coronal restoration. The techniques of obturation that are available have their own relative position in the historical development of filling techniques. Over the years, pitfalls with one technique hav...

O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma revisão integrativa da literatura acerca aplicabilidade, biocompatibilidade e eficácia do Agregado de Trióxido Mineral (MTA), além evidenciar sua importância na prática clínica odontológica. Os estudos foram criteriosamente avaliados coletados através buscas nas plataformas pesquisa Medline, Pubmed, Cochrane Google Scholar, utilizando os seguintes termos...
