In agreement with previous studies, the majority of supernumerary teeth were seen in the lower premolar region. That all patients with multiple supernumerary teeth were male and that most of these teeth were impacted was also in agreement with previous studies. The order of location frequency in previous studies has been premolar-molar-anterior; we found the order to be premolar-anterior with no supernumerary molar teeth observed. It was also interesting that no serious pathological findings were recorded.

Aim The aim of this study was to assess the apical sealing ability of Resilon™ obturation material. Methods and Materials Forty-two single rooted extracted human teeth were selected and randomly divided into three groups. They were obturated using lateral condensation with gutta-percha and AH 26/AH plus and Resilon™; also, 12 root canals were used as control groups. The apical leakage was measured using the dye penetration methodology. Results The teeth filled with gutta-percha and AH 26 displayed the most apical leakage. The least apical leakage was shown with Resilon™ Discussion The differences in leakage among the groups, gutta-percha with AH 26 (2.4 mm, SD:1.87), gutta-percha with AH plus (2.1 mm, SD: 1.69), and Resilon™ (1.7 mm, SD:1.32), were statistically significant (p< 0.001). Conclusion Based on the data of this study, all groups produced a satisfactory seal. However, Resilon™ and Epiphany™ sealer showed the least apical leakage. Citation Bodrumlu E, Tunga U.
