Aim: The aim of this study was to estimate the penetration depth and fracture resistance of three different sealers and to verify the relationship between the penetration depth and fracture resistance.

Materials And Methods: Sixty single-rooted teeth were selected and root canal preparation was done. After the instrumentation, the teeth were divided into three groups of 20 each.

Aim: The present study aimed to evaluate and compare the sealing ability of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA)-Angelus, Biodentine™, and EndoSequence cement in furcation perforations using protein leakage assessment.

Materials And Methods: The present study was conducted using seventy extracted human maxillary and mandibular molars with intact furcation. The samples were randomly allocated into three groups ( = 20) based on repair material used: Group 1 - MTA-Angelus, Group 2 - Biodentine™, and Group 3 - EndoSequence.

Periapical lesions are the most common pathological conditions involving teeth which often require surgical intervention. To achieve optimal healing both clinically and radiographically, bone grafts and barrier membranes have been used to fill the periapical defect after degranulation of the lesion. Colostrum is one of the new materials, which has osteoinductive or regenerative potential.

Article Synopsis
  • Perforation creates an artificial connection between a tooth's root canal and surrounding tissues, complicating treatment and potentially worsening outcomes if not handled correctly.
  • Various materials have been suggested in the literature for sealing these perforations, with many comparative studies assessing their effectiveness.
  • This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the materials used for perforation repair throughout history and reviews literature from the past 40 years on the treatment of perforations with different root repair materials.
