Root-filling materials for endodontic surgery: biological and clinical aspects.

Biomater Investig Dent

October 2024

Section of Endodontics, Institute of Clinical Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway.

The placement of root filling materials aims to prevent the occurrence of post-treatment apical periodontitis following completion of endodontic treatment. Materials should possess properties that will not permit bacterial invasion and infection, namely excellent sealing ability and/or antibacterial properties. In root-end filling procedures or repair of root perforations, the root filling materials are placed in a particularly challenging clinical environment, as they interface with a relatively large area with the periradicular tissues.

Objectives: To compare trends in teaching and placement of composite resin versus amalgam in posterior restorations in Canadian dental schools with those in the United States.

Methods: Secondary descriptive and statistical analyses were performed on data from 2 previous studies. The data consisted of responses to questionnaires on teaching policies and the proportion of posterior restorations (amalgam and composite resin) performed in Canadian and US dental schools.

Aim: This study aimed to assess different aspects of teaching posterior composite restorations in two dental schools in Palestine.

Materials And Methods: A questionnaire was emailed to the heads of the operative and conservative dentistry departments to collect detailed information on the teaching practices related to posterior composite restorations. The questionnaire comprised 22 questions structured to collect information on the time dedicated to teaching the topic, competency assessments, future plans for allocating time for each restoration type, relevant indications and contraindications, specific materials and techniques utilized in the application, and fees charged for posterior restorations.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare the compressive and tensile strength of two conventional glass ionomer cements, zirconia-reinforced GIC, and silver amalgam.
  • Eighty samples from four groups were tested for compressive strength (CS) and diametral tensile strength (DTS) using specific apparatus and standards.
  • Results showed that silver amalgam had the highest CS and DTS, while zirconia-reinforced GIC performed better than conventional GICs, suggesting it has superior mechanical properties, but further research is needed for long-term efficacy.
