Clinical outcomes of non‐surgical root canal obturations using NeoMTA: A retrospective series of case reports

Abstract

NeoMTA is a commercially available tricalcium silicate‐based cement intended for contact with pulp and periradicular tissues. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the outcomes of non‐surgical root canal treatments with NeoMTA obturations. Patients were treated in a private endodontic practice between 2015 and 2018. All cases, including initial treatments and retreatments, were either fully obturated with NeoMTA, or using gutta‐percha with NeoMTA as an endodontic sealer. Outcomes were assessed using follow‐up examination data with digital periapical radiographs with a minimum of a 1‐year recall. Teeth were classified based on the clinical examination as: healed/healing (success), or non‐healed (failure). 265 teeth were included with an average follow‐up time of 1.3 years. The overall success rate was 91.7%. Only the presence of a pre‐operative periapical radiolucency was found to significantly affect success. Comparison of obturation techniques demonstrated no effect on outcomes. NeoMTA is suitable for endodontic obturation.

The efficacy of premixed bioceramic sealers versus standard sealers on root canal treatment outcome, extrusion rate and post‐obturation pain: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

“…In the next stage, a total of 27 full‐text articles were assessed for eligibility. After manuscript evaluation, a total of 10 papers were not included because they focused on non‐premixed CaSi sealers, namely BioRoot RCS ( n = 4) (Bardini et al., 2021; Khandelwal et al., 2022; Bel Haj Salah et al., 2021; Zavattini et al., 2022), MTA Fillapex ( n = 2) (Coşar et al., 2023; Ferreira et al., 2020), Pro Root MTA ( n = 1) (Thakur et al., 2013), Neo MTA ( n = 1) (Walsh et al., 2023) or Nishika BG ( n = 1) a Bioglass‐containing paste to paste sealer (Supreet et al., 2023). One study was excluded due to the presence of a premixed sealer with no specified composition (no SDS was reported) associated with a polymer based obturation system (polyamide core with an outer bonded hydrophilic polymer) (Nagar et al., 2018).…”
