“…However, none of the tested techniques provided a void-free or gap-free root canal filling. This result is consistent with previous reports (21)(22)(23)(24)26). No significant difference was found between the CLC and TT filling techniques instrumented with the SAF or Revo-S file systems.…”

“…Micro-CT has been used to evaluate root canal anatomy and canal shapes after instrumentation (4,9,10,20). It has also been used to analyze void and gap formation in retreatment studies and root canal fillings, canal sealers, and filling techniques (21)(22)(23)(24)(25). Micro-CT imaging is a fast, highly accurate, and nondestructive method for in vitro evaluation of materials (19,21).…”

“…Since the development of the warm gutta-percha technique, whether it is superior to CLC has been widely debated (24,27). Collins et al (23) showed that both warm vertical and lateral compaction techniques performed better than CLC at replicating defects.…”

Objective: This study used microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) to compare the volumes of voids and gaps in curved root canals instrumented and filled using various techniques. Methods: Twenty extracted mandibular first molars with two curved mesial root canals were used. Root canals were instrumented using a self-adjusting file (SAF) or Revo-S file system. For standardization, mesiobuccal canals were instrumented with SAF and mesiolingual canals were instrumented with Revo-S in each root. The canals were divided into four experimental groups (n=10 in each). The canals were then filled via cold lateral compaction (CLC) or a thermoplasticized injectable technique (TT) using gutta-percha and AH Plus root canal sealer. The roots were scanned with a micro-CT, and the volumes of the voids and gaps were calculated using three-dimensional (3D) micro-CT images. Data were analyzed using unpaired t-and Kruskal-Wallis tests. A value of P < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: None of the tested techniques provided void-or gap-free fillings. Nevertheless, the SAF showed more gap formation than the Revo-S, and TT showed higher gap formation in all experimental groups. These differences, however, were not statistically significant (p>0.05). Conclusion:The SAF and Revo-S rotary file systems yielded comparable results. No statistically significant difference was found between the results of the various instrumentation and filling techniques.

“…Although it has a homogeneous composition, after setting it presents small porous areas (4). Radiographic quality is similar to other resin-based sealers such as Resilon/ Epiphany® and EndoRez® (5). Its low toxicity has been demonstrated and compared with that of different endodontic sealers including AH Plus™, Epiphany®, EndoRez®, RoekoSeal, Apexit® and Acroseal (6).…”

Objective. To compare the long-term sealing ability of GuttaFlow® using different obturation techniques. Study Design. Three hundred teeth, prepared with a crown-down technique, were divided into thirty experimental groups (n=10) to evaluate the apical and coronal leakage, at 3, 30 and 120 days, of lateral compaction gutta-percha + AH Plus™, lateral compaction gutta-percha + GuttaFlow®, single cone + AH Plus™, single cone + GuttaFlow®, and GuttaFlow® only. Results. Both coronal and apical leakage, at the three times of measurement, no significant differences were found among GuttaFlow® + lateral compaction gutta-percha and GuttaFlow® + single cone groups, whereas the only GuttaFlow® reached the highest leakage values at 30 and 120 days. AH Plus™, using both techniques, showed high levels of leakage after 120 days to the coronal leakage and after 30 days to the apical leakage when compared silicon based sealer. Conclusion. GuttaFlow®, using with lateral compaction and single cone techniques, shows a greater apical and coronal sealing ability than AH Plus™ over time. GuttaFlow® when used as only creates a poorer sealing than when used with lateral compaction gutta-percha or single cone techniques.

“…70 Comparison of the adaptation quality of Guttaflow, Resilon/Epiphany and Endo REZ revealed no significant differences between the materials. 71 It was reported that gutta-percha and Resilon-obturated canals subjected to occlusal load displayed significantly greater interface disruption compared with unloaded controls. 72 …”
