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.…”

“…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.…”

“…Different materials can be used for retrograde obturation, including: amalgam, gutta-percha, zinc oxideeugenol cements, glass ionomer cement, gold foil pellets, Cavit, composite resin, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) (2). The results from different studies mention that super-ethoxy benzoic acid and MTA are the most suitable materials and provide better results in apicoectomy procedures than other filling materials (3).…”
