Article Synopsis
- The review analyzes the effectiveness of zinc oxide-based materials versus glass-ionomer cement as temporary fillings during endodontic treatment, focusing on their sealing properties in extracted teeth.
- Seven clinical trials were examined, revealing variability in sealing ability, with glass-ionomer cement performing better for single-rooted teeth, while zinc oxide materials also showed good results.
- Although zinc oxide materials have advantages such as consistent application, concerns about dye penetration tests not fully capturing bacterial leakage risk highlight the need for more clinical research.
