The purpose of this systematic review was to qualify and quantify the evidence regarding the effect of extruded sealers on endodontic treatment outcomes. Two reviewers independently conducted a comprehensive literature search. The EMBASE, MEDLINE, Cochrane, PubMed databases, bibliographies, grey literature of all relevant articles and textbooks were searched. Six articles met the inclusion criteria with a moderate risk of bias and were analysed for qualitative and quantitative synthesis. There was moderate-certainty evidence that sealer extrusion can contribute to non-healing outcomes, 95% confidence interval, risk ratio 1.32 (1.12-1.54) and P < 0.05. This indicates that the current authors are somewhat confident the true effect is likely to be close to the estimate of the effect. Sealer extrusion had a 32% higher risk of contributing to a non-healing outcome than no extrusion. However, well-conducted research would need to be conducted to confirm this causality claim.

Quantitative Assessment of Apically Extruded Debris During Retreatment Procedures Using Three Nickel-Titanium Rotary Systems: An In Vitro Comparative Study.
Dent J (Basel)

Department of General Surgery and Surgical-Medical Specialties, University of Catania, 95131 Catania, Italy.
: Apical extrusion of debris can affect the success of endodontic treatments, and the specific performance of certain retreatment systems has not been studied yet. Therefore, the aim of this in vitro study was to quantitatively assess the amount of apically extruded debris produced during retreatment procedures using three rotary NiTi retreatment systems in mature non-resorbed straight roots. : Thirty extracted permanent human teeth with single straight roots were selected.

Objective: To evaluate the outcome of teeth filled with a single cone technique and a premixed bioceramic sealer at 3 years of follow-up.
Methods: Healthy patients were consecutively treated by a cohort of postgraduate operators. Root canal filling procedures were performed with NiTi rotary instrumentation, while non-surgical retreatments were performed using NiTi reciprocating instruments.

Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, University of Cagliari, Cagliari, Italy.
Aim: This randomized clinical trial assessed the outcomes of nonsurgical root canal treatment (RCT), comparing a calcium silicate-based sealer (CSBS) with the single-cone technique (SC) with a zinc oxide-eugenol (ZOE) sealer and warm vertical compaction (WVC).
Methodology: Ninety-two single- and multi-rooted teeth were divided into two groups and treated using either the SC with BioRoot™ RCS (BIO) or WVC with Pulp Canal Sealer™ EWT (PCS). Teeth with apical periodontitis (AP) in both groups were further divided into BIOAP and PCSAP subgroups.

Article Synopsis
- This clinical study compares postoperative pain levels in patients who underwent single-visit root canal treatments using two different sealers (AH Plus and Endosequence BC) with or without sonic activation.
- A total of 72 participants were assessed for their pain intensity after the procedure and tracked their analgesic usage over the week following treatment.
- Results showed no significant differences in pain scores or medication intake between the two sealers or between the groups that had sonic activation versus those that did not.
Outcomes and prognostic factors of endodontically treated teeth filled with calcium silicate- or epoxy resin-based root canal sealers: A retrospective cohort study.

Department of Operative Dentistry and Endodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand.
Aim: The objectives of this study were to compare the clinical outcomes of root canal treatment between calcium silicate-based sealer using the cold hydraulic condensation technique and epoxy resin-based sealer using warm vertical compaction and to identify the prognostic factors affecting the outcomes of both obturation techniques.
Methodology: Dental records and radiographs of the teeth that received root canal treatment with calcium silicate-based sealer using the cold hydraulic condensation technique or epoxy resin-based sealer using warm vertical compaction during 2015-2021 were selected using inclusion and exclusion criteria. The cases were matched between the two groups based on four factors: primary root canal treatment or retreatment, tooth type, periapical lesion and its size and extension of root canal filling.
