Background/purpose: The obturation of canals with irregular structures is still a challenge for single cone obturation technique (SC). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the presence and distribution of voids using SC with different sealer placement methods in the canal with a simulated band-shaped isthmus.
Materials And Methods: 3D-printed root canal models with band-shaped isthmuses were randomly divided into four groups according to different obturation methods. Group 1: sealer placement by single cone passively (SCP); Group 2: bi-directional spiral-supported sealer placement (BS); Group 3: ultrasound-supported sealer placement (U). Group 4: vertical compaction obturation (VC). In each group, 10 of 14 models were sliced and the remaining four were scanned by micro-CT. The percentage area of voids (PAV) and the percentage volume of voids (PVV) of fillings were calculated.
Results: At all slice levels, using BS and U to support sealer placement reduced voids with an average PAV of 21%, and in the VC and SCP groups were 33% and 45% respectively. Based on the micro-CT scans, nearly half of the porosity decreased by the BS and ultrasound in the isthmus with PVV of 25% and 29% respectively, compared with 46% in the SCP group. However, in the main canal, when the PVV was 22% in the SCP group, the porosity decreased to 14% in the U group and 18% in the BS group.
Conclusion: Bi-directional spiral or ultrasound-supported sealer placement can improve the performance of single cone obturation in canals with an isthmus.

Background Radiopacity is a critical property for root canal sealers as it allows for the assessment of the material's placement and quality within the root canal system on radiographic images. The study aimed to evaluate the radiopacity of calcium silicate-based and resin-based materials using direct digital radiography, employing an aluminium step wedge according to American National Standards Institute/International Organization for Standardization (ANSI/ISO) standard protocols for testing the radiopacity of root canal sealers. This study seeks to determine the effectiveness of these materials in meeting the required standards for clinical use.

Article Synopsis
- * Color measurements were taken before treatment and at various intervals for a year, with statistical analysis revealing significant color changes across all groups, except for two that changed color only after a year.
- * The results indicated that G1 (Zinc oxide-eugenol sealer) and G2 (Zinc oxide-eugenol and iodoform paste) had the most significant discoloration, especially noticeable after two months compared to other materials.
Efficacy of root-end filling techniques using premixed putty type bioceramic cements: an ex vivo study.

Department of Endodontics, School of Dentistry, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, 7500 Cambridge Street, Suite 6400, Houston, TX, USA.
Objectives: Currently, premixed putty-type bioceramic cements (PPBCs) have become popular materials for root-end fillings. This study investigated three root-end filling techniques using PPBCs and calcium silicate-based sealers including EDTA pretreatment.
Materials And Methods: Ninety root segments were prepared and standardized with an artificial fin and lateral canal, and assigned to three groups (n = 30).
The Successful Interdisciplinary Outcome of Blunderbuss Canal with an Open Apex Using MTA under Magnification: A Case Report.

Aim And Objective: The present case report aims to describe the nonsurgical management of an anterior tooth with a blunderbuss canal and an open apex using mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) under magnification.
Background: When pulp is traumatized before root formation, it results in pulpal necrosis, due to which dentin and root formation are interrupted. As a result, the canal remains broad due to thin and fragile dentin walls leading to the open apex.
