Endodontic Management of Pathologic Root Resorption using EndoSeal Mineral Trioxide Aggregate

Abstract

Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has emerged as a reliable bioactive material with extended applications in endodontics that includes the obturation of the root canal space. Recently, introduced sealers based on MTA have been reported to be biocompatible, also to stimulate mineralization and encourage apatite-like crystalline deposits along the apical and middle third of the canal walls. This article examines the literature supporting EndoSeal MTA (MARUCHI, Wonju, Korea) as a root canal sealer, suggests method for its delivery and placement, and presents a case report that demonstrates its effectiveness in resolving a chronic periapical lesion.
