Coronal leakage after root canal filling; interface between endodontics and restorative dentistry

Melding Endodontics with Restorative Dentistry

Correlation between remaining length of root canal fillings after immediate post space preparation and coronal leakage.

The seal provided by root canal fillings after post space preparation was studied using a pressure-driven radioactive tracer assay. The coronal part of root canal fillings was immediately removed, using a hot plugger, to a remaining length of either 3, 5, 7, or 9 mm. Intact root canal fillings of 14 mm served as control. Application of air pressure of 130 mm Hg to the tracer solution drove it t...

A new root canal obturation system, the Epiphany endodontic obturation system, has been developed to replace gutta-percha and traditional sealers for root canal obturation. The purpose...
