Summary
This review highlights reinforced zinc oxide-eugenol cements, like IRM and SuperEBA, as effective root end filling materials for endodontic surgery. These materials consistently provide a reliable seal in apex sealing studies.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Endodontics
- Surgical Procedures
Background:
- Endodontic surgery requires effective root end filling materials for successful outcomes.
- Recent literature has focused on evaluating various materials for apexification and sealing capabilities.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the current literature on endodontic surgery.
- To identify and assess the efficacy of root end filling materials used in endodontic procedures.
Main Methods:
- Comprehensive literature search of recent publications on endodontic surgery and root end filling materials.
- Analysis of studies focusing on leakage and success rates of different filling materials.
- Review of articles related to treatment planning and surgical instruments.
Main Results:
- Reinforced zinc oxide-eugenol cements, specifically IRM and SuperEBA, demonstrated consistent apex sealing.
- These materials proved effective in both leakage and success rate studies.
- Relevant literature on treatment planning and surgical armamentaria was also evaluated.
Conclusions:
- Reinforced zinc oxide-eugenol cements are highly recommended for root end filling in endodontic surgery due to their sealing efficacy.
- Further research may explore long-term outcomes and alternative materials.
- Effective treatment planning and appropriate surgical armamentaria are crucial for successful endodontic surgical procedures.
