Summary

Finding the ideal root-end filling material for apicoectomy is ongoing. While amalgam is common, materials like MTA offer superior results in leakage, biocompatibility, and hard tissue induction, despite a longer setting time.

Area of Science:

  • Endodontics
  • Dental Materials Science
  • Surgical Procedures

Context:

  • Root-end filling materials are crucial for successful apicoectomy.
  • A 20-year literature review identified over 19 materials used for this purpose.
  • The search for an ideal root-end filling material continues.

Purpose:

  • To review and compare the efficacy of various root-end filling materials used in apicoectomy.
  • To evaluate materials based on leakage, biocompatibility, and clinical outcomes.
  • To identify the most suitable material for apicoectomy procedures.

Summary:

  • Amalgam is frequently used but not ideal.
  • Iodoform-based Root Canal Sealer (IRM) and Super EBA are zinc oxide-eugenol cements, with Super EBA showing less cytotoxicity.
  • Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) demonstrates superior performance in leakage control, biocompatibility, and hard tissue induction compared to IRM and Super EBA.
  • MTA's long setting time is a drawback, but it is often the preferred choice.

Impact:

  • Highlights the limitations of commonly used materials like amalgam.
  • Identifies IRM, Super EBA, and particularly MTA as more effective alternatives.
  • Provides evidence-based insights for clinicians selecting root-end filling materials in endodontic surgery.
