Area of Science:

  • Endodontic therapy
  • Dental materials science

Background:

  • Root canal procedures require effective instrumentation and obturation.
  • Postoperative pain and treatment predictability are key concerns in endodontics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the clinical efficacy and patient outcomes of Simplified Endodontic Techniques (SET) combined with EZ-Fill epoxy root canal cement.
  • To assess the impact of this combined approach on treatment success, pain reduction, and dental practice productivity.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Simplified Endodontic Techniques (SET) for root canal instrumentation.
  • Employed EZ-Fill, a bidirectional spiral and epoxy-based root canal cement, for obturation.
  • Monitored periapical healing and resorption of excess cement over a 2.5-year period.

  • Assessed postoperative patient-reported pain levels (occurrence and intensity).

    • Main Results:

    • Demonstrated predictable success in endodontic treatment.
    • Observed periapical area healing and resorption of excess EZ-Fill cement.
    • Reported an approximate 80% reduction in postoperative pain occurrence and intensity.
    • Indicated increased dental practice productivity and improved work quality.

    Conclusions:

    • Simplified Endodontic Techniques (SET) with EZ-Fill provide a reliable and effective method for root canal therapy.
    • This technique significantly improves patient comfort by reducing postoperative pain.
    • The adoption of SET and EZ-Fill enhances dental professionals' efficiency and treatment outcomes.
