Resilon shows adequate performance compared to gutta-percha in laboratory studies for root canal filling. However, more clinical research is needed to confirm Resilon as a reliable, evidence-based alternative.

Area of Science:

  • Endodontics
  • Dental Materials Science

Background:

  • Root canal treatment aims to eliminate bacteria and prevent reinfection via filling materials.
  • Gutta-percha, the current standard, has limitations in long-term antimicrobial resistance.
  • Resilon has been investigated as a potential alternative root canal filling material.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and analyze existing literature on Resilon as a root canal filling material.
  • To evaluate Resilon's suitability as an alternative to gutta-percha.

Main Methods:

  • A literature search was conducted using MEDLINE and Cochrane Library databases.
  • Keywords included Resilon, RealSeal, and Epiphany.
  • Analysis focused on in vitro studies, particularly leakage-type investigations.

Main Results:

  • The majority of studies are in vitro with varied methodologies and conflicting findings.
  • Resilon demonstrated adequate performance compared to gutta-percha in limited in vitro settings.
  • Significant gaps exist in understanding Resilon's physical properties and long-term clinical outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Current in vitro evidence suggests Resilon may be adequate but is not yet an evidence-based alternative to gutta-percha.
  • Further research into resin sealer properties and clinical studies is essential before Resilon adoption.
  • Long-term clinical outcome data is critically lacking for definitive conclusions.
