“…They were evaluated for their methodology and risk of bias (Table 1 ). Among these 19 studies, 11 papers reported the treatment success [ 1 , 15 , 19 , 20 , 25 – 31 ], eight papers reported short-term (within 7 days) postoperative pain [ 17 , 19 , 25 , 27 , 28 , 32 – 34 ], 11 papers reported overfilling [ 15 , 17 , 19 , 20 , 25 , 27 , 30 , 35 – 38 ] and seven papers reported the adequate adaptation of root canal filling [ 15 , 20 , 25 , 30 , 35 , 37 , 38 ].

“…The periapical radiograph method used was generally accepted by clinicians to assess healing progress and quality of obturation. In the radiographic assessment of the selected studies, the observers were independent and were blinded in the treatment method [ 1 , 15 , 26 , 28 , 36 , 38 ]. For the assessment of postoperative pain after endodontic treatment, visual analogue scale [ 32 ] or likert scale [ 33 ] were used for grading the discomfort experienced by patients.…”
BackgroundThis systematic review aimed to evaluate the clinical performance of core-carrier obturation in endodontic treatment.MethodsKeywords of “(core carrier OR Thermafil) OR (cold lateral condensation OR lateral condensation) OR (warm vertical condensation OR vertical condensation) AND (obturation OR root canal filling) AND clinical study” were searched for all obtainable publications up to year 2017 in the databases of PubMed, ScienceDirect, EMBASE, Scopus and Web of Science. The success rate, short-term postoperative pain, overfilling and adaptation of core-carrier obturation from clinical studies were selected. Reviews, laboratory studies, animal studies and irrelevant reports were excluded.Results1349 relevant articles were identified with 149 duplicated articles removed and 1173 irrelevant articles were excluded after screening. The titles and abstracts of the 19 identified articles were screened in the systematic review. The full texts of remaining articles were retrieved with data extracted for meta-analysis on the success rate, postoperative pain, overfilling and adaptation of obturation. The pooled success rate of core-carrier obturation was 83% (95% CI: 69%-91%). The pooled incidence of 1-day and 7-day short-term postoperative pain were 35% (95% CI: 15%-62%) and 6% (95% CI: 1-35%). The pooled proportion of teeth with overfilling and adequate adaptation of the obturation material were 31% (95% CI: 18%-50%) and 85% (95% CI: 75%-91%), respectively.ConclusionsThe success rate of endodontic treatment using core-carrier obturation was 83%. Short-term postoperative pain was not uncommon (24%). Most teeth (85%) had adequate adaptation using core-carrier obturation material, but a considerable amount of teeth (31%) had overfilling.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
