Root-end filling materials - review

Abstract: The aim of this study is to describe different root-end filling materials according to the literature and to compare their antibacterial activity, sealing ability, biocompatibility and microleakage. The purpose of a root-end filling is to establish a seal between the root canal space and the periapical tissues. A number of materials have been suggested for use as root-end fillings, including gutta-percha, amalgam, Cavit, intermediate restorative material (IRM), super EBA, glass ionomers, composite resins, carb… Show more

“… 12 Many authors advise sealing the root‐end cavity after an apicoectomy. 14 , 15 , 16 Although the root‐end filling stops microleakage, additional skills are needed. The time and materials required to prepare the retrograde cavity and produce the retrofill must also be taken into account.…”

“…-MTA It is a refined hydrophilic powder derived from Portland cement (a basic component of concrete used in the construction industry) [6]. The main molecules present in MTA are calcium and phosphorus ions, derived mainly from tricalcium silicate, tricalcium aluminate, tricalcium oxide, and silicate oxide [7]. Bismuth is a heavy metal and is added to cement in the form of bismuth oxide (Bi 2 O 3 ) in a ratio of 4:1 to provide radiopacity to the MTA for radiological diagnosis.…”

“…Cone-beam computed tomography helps to predict the results and avoid complications (5). Most of the authors recommend performing a root-end cavity filling after apicoectomy (8,9,10). The root-end filling avoids the microleakage but additional skills are also necessary, time and resources to prepare retrograde cavity and to make a retrofill should also be taken into consideration.…”
