“…Post-treatment disease associated with root filled teeth at 1-5 years have been reported in a range between 10-50% and the main causes were suggested to be the incomplete removal of debris and bacteria (Kirkevang et al 2007, Tickle et al 2008, Fonzar et al 2009, Ng et al 2011a,b, Dammaschke et al 2013, Skupien et al 2013, Landys Bor en et al 2015, Pirani et al 2015, 2018. On the contrary, in long-term studies (10-20 years) it is possible that other condition may be responsible for re-exacerbation of endodontic disease and the late appearance of pathosis or for tooth loss (Pirani et al 2015, Bergenholtz 2016, Barborka et al 2017. At long-term follow-up/evaluation (i.e.…”

“…In 2013, The American Association of Endodontists released a statement recommending against the continued use of silver points as they were “clinically problematic.” Resilon, first introduced in 2004, is a polycaprolactone‐based synthetic material containing bioglass. While it was initially marketed to be superior to GP by way of its sealer/dentine bonding capacity and resultant seal, a recent review concluded that teeth obturated with Resilon had a 5.7 times greater chance of failure when compared to teeth obturated with GP …”

“…While it was initially marketed to be superior to GP by way of its sealer/dentine bonding capacity and resultant seal, a recent review concluded that teeth obturated with Resilon had a 5.7 times greater chance of failure when compared to teeth obturated with GP. 86 GP, first introduced in 1867, is the most commonly used bulk filler reported to date consisting mainly of synthetic gutta-percha and zinc oxide. While the material is biocompatible and structurally stable, it is also inert.…”

Oroactive dental biomaterials and their use in endodontic therapy

Dental biomaterials have revolutionized modern therapies. Untreated dental caries remains the major etiological factor for endodontic treatment, and together with a decreasing rate of tooth loss escalates the importance of continuously improving the materials used for endodontic therapies. Endodontic biomaterials are used for vital pulp therapies, irrigation, intracanal medicaments, obturation and regenerative procedures. These materials offer several functions including: antimicrobial activity, mechanical reinforcement, aesthetics, and therapeutic effects. Vital pulp therapies have seen an improvement in clinical results with an incremental approach to build on the strengths of past materials such as calcium hydroxide and calcium silicates. While sodium hypochlorite remains the gold standard for canal irrigation, numerous nanoparticle formulations have been developed to promote sustained antimicrobial action. Gutta‐percha based bulk fillers remain the most common materials for root filling. However, while multiple studies focus on the development of novel formulations containing drugs, glass derivatives or ionic‐, polymeric‐, or drug‐ loaded nanoparticles, a lack of reliable and long‐term clinical evidence obligates further study as experienced clinicians prefer to use what has worked for decades. This review delves in to the biochemistry of the materials to scrutinize their shortcomings, and where opportunity lies to further enhance their efficacy in endodontic practice. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Case-control is a study design used to identify the association of a risk factor with an outcome (Barborka et al 2017). Hence, this retrospective case-control study aimed to investigate the relationship between length of root fillings and the occurrence of VRFs.…”

Impact of apical extent of root canal filling on vertical root fracture: a case–control study

et al. 2019

Aim To investigate the impact of apical extent of root filling on vertical root fracture (VRF) in a case–control study. Methodology Eighty‐six patients (119 roots) diagnosed with VRF in crowned root filled anterior and posterior teeth were selected. The cases were matched individually with control teeth in a ratio of 1:1 for age (±5 years), gender, tooth type, canal instrumentation method, master apical file (MAF) size and taper, technique of canal filling and time period after root filling. All root canals had been prepared using nickel–titanium (NiTi) rotary instruments and filled using the lateral compaction technique. The apical extent of root filling (overfilled to or beyond the radiographic apex or not overfilled and short of the radiographic apex) was recorded as the dependent variable by two individual examiners. Inter‐examiner agreement was obtained using Kappa statistics. Recorded numbers of overfilled and not overfilled canals in cases and controls were analysed using chi‐square tests and conditional logistic regression, and odds ratio was calculated. In addition, the frequency distribution of vertical and cross‐sectional extensions and the course of VRFs were evaluated. Results The mean age of patients with VRFs was 50 ± 10 years with 27 (31%) males and 59 (69%) females. The Kappa score for inter‐observer agreement was 0.832 (P < 0.001). There was a significant difference between cases and controls with respect to apical extent of root filling (P < 0.0001). When compared to roots not overfilled, overfilled roots had 11.5 times higher odds for occurrence of VRF (OR = 11.5; CI: 4.99 – 26.48). Most VRFs had a complete corono‐apical longitudinal extension and were present bucco‐lingually/palatally. Conclusion After matching for age, gender, tooth type, MAF size and taper, canal filling technique and time period after root filling, root canals filled to or beyond the radiographic apex following lateral compaction had a greater association with VRF than canals filled short of the radiographic apex.
