Background: Evaluating the effect of different obturation techniques on postoperative pain level and radiographic healing on non-surgical endodontic retreatment (NSER) applied in a single visit in teeth with a single root canal and apical periodontitis (AP).
Materials And Methods: Sixty-three teeth from 50 systemically healthy patients (mean age 34.19 ± 9.75 years; 27 women, 23 men) were included in the study. Residual root canal filling materials were removed. All teeth were randomly divided into three groups according to the obturation technique: cold lateral compaction (CLC), continuous wave compaction (CWC), and thermoplasticized gutta-core (TGC). Pain status was evaluated using the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NRS) in all cases. Periapical index (PAI) scores were recorded in preoperative and postoperative 6-month on the periapical radiographs. Data were analyzed as statistically (IBM, Armonk, NY, USA). The significance level was determined as p < 0.05.
Results: It was found that more postoperative pain occurred in the 3rd-hour interval after CLC and CWC compared to the 7th-day interval (p < 0.05). There was no difference in postoperative pain between obturation techniques in all evaluated time intervals (p > 0.05). There was no difference in the PAI scores recorded at six months between obturation techniques for all periods (p > 0.05). Similar radiographic improvement was observed in all obturation techniques at 6-months (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: CLC, CWC, and TGC root canal obturation techniques were found to have similar efficacy after NSER in a single visit in teeth with AP at six months.
Trial Registration: The research was retrospectively registered on the website www.
Clinicaltrials: gov with the registration number NCT06226740 on 26/01/2024.

With the advent of bioceramic sealers, sealers have become a more important filling material for endodontic treatment. When a solid sealer, rather than an elastic gutta-percha, occupies a significant portion of the root canal, it is unclear whether the tooth structure will be strengthened to withstand stress or whether the increased stiffness will transmit the load directly to the entire root, potentially causing root fracture. This study compared the fracture resistance and fracture patterns of roots filled with various root canal sealers, including bioceramic sealers, and each corresponding filling technique.

Background: Local relapse has not been eradicated even in the era of total mesorectum excision. Although various approaches have been attempted, R0 resection remains the only potentially curative treatment. PATIENT AND METHODS: A 45-year-old woman with a history of laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection was diagnosed with pelvic recurrence 7 months ago.

Context: Pulpectomy is recommended for primary teeth when both the coronal and radicular pulp tissues are irreversibly damaged. Biomechanical preparation of root canals is essential for the success of endodontic treatment. Achieving the optimal length during obturation while minimizing voids and ensuring a hermetic seal is crucial for the success of pulpectomy procedures.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the apical microleakage of zinc oxide (ZOE) eugenol and Endoflas as obturating materials using different root canal irrigants in primary teeth.
Materials And Methods: A total of 80 extracted primary anterior teeth were divided randomly into four groups with different irrigants and obturating materials used. Group I [ZOE + sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl)], group II [ZOE + NaOCI + ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)], group III (Endoflas FS + NaOCI), group IV (Endoflas FS + NaOCI + EDTA).

Introduction Endodontic re-infections primarily occur due to the ingress of bacteria and their toxins through an incomplete seal following obturation. A variety of sealers have been developed to achieve effective integration with the different obturation materials and dentinal tubules. To choose the right endodontic sealer and application for each clinical instance, one must be aware of the attributes of the various sealers commonly used in clinical practice.
