“…However, other researchers indicated that GDP more often conducted RCT of anterior teeth [ 77 ], and endodontists treated only posterior teeth [ 25 ]. Moreover, simple cases of RCT were more often performed by GDP than by endodontists [ 31 , 82 , 83 , 84 ]. Interestingly, another study claimed that anterior teeth were treated endodontically by a specialist in 52.1% [ 30 ].…”

The main goal of root canal treatment (RCT) is to eradicate or essentially diminish the microbial population within the root canal system and to prevent reinfection by a proper chemo-mechanical preparation and hermetic final obturation of the root canal space. The aim of this study was to assess the quality of the root canal filling and the number of visits needed for completing RCT by operators with different experience, including dentistry students (4th and 5th year), general dental practitioners (GDPs), and endodontists. Data from medical records of 798 patients were analyzed, obtaining 900 teeth and 1773 obturated canals according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. A similar number of teeth was assessed in each group in terms of density and length of root canal filling and number of visits. The larger number of visits and the lower quality of treatment was observed for 4th year students than for other groups (p < 0.05); in contrast, the endodontists needed the lowest number of visits to complete RCT and more often overfilled teeth than other operator groups (p < 0.05). Interestingly, no statistical difference in quality of root canal filling was noted between 5th year students, GPDs and endodontists. The treatment of lower teeth demanded statistically more visits than that of upper teeth (p < 0.05). The results of the study emphasize that most of the root canal filling performed by operators was considered adequate, regardless of tooth type, files used and number of visits.

Pulp cavity perforation is defined as pathological connection between root canal system and external surface of the tooth. This iatrogenic pulp chamber injury may have serious implications on the success of root canal treatment. The sealing of perforation is crucial for good prognosis of the treated tooth. The ideal material for sealing perforations in the pulp cavity should be characterized by a good adhesion, lack of sensitivity to tissue fluids, volume stability, radiopacity on radiographs and excellent bioactivity and biocompatibility. To date the most well -known bioceramic material to is mineral trioxide aggregate. Due to over thirty years of its application in endodontics, it is called the „gold standard” for perforation repair. Recently, many new bioceramic materials have been developed and introduced to dentistry and endodontics, showing promising clinical results. One of the materials successfully used for pulp chamber floor perforation repair is Biodentine. According to the manufacturers, Biodentine has a much shorter setting time compared to other bioceramic cements, and also has better mechanical properties and is easier to use. The aim of the article is to analyse the available research and compare the properties of those bioceramic materials in a perforation sealing procedure. Based on the analysis of the current literature, it can be concluded that mineral trioxide aggregate is still the most proven and tested material among bioceramic materials, but Biodentine is a good alternative as it is relatively easy to manipulate but also has predictable clinical results.
