    Area of Science:

    • Endodontics
    • Dental Materials Science

    Background:

    • Retrograde root filling is a common endodontic procedure.
    • Amalgam and Cavit are frequently used materials for retrograde root fillings.
    • Incomplete orthograde root fillings may require revision, especially with posts.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the clinical success of retrograde root fillings using amalgam versus Cavit.
    • To evaluate the influence of marginal bone loss on the outcomes of retrograde root fillings.

    Main Methods:

    • A 3-year retrospective review of 218 teeth.
    • Teeth were treated with retrograde root filling using either amalgam or Cavit.
    • Outcomes were assessed, considering factors like marginal bone loss.

    Main Results:

    • Amalgam fillings demonstrated significantly better results than Cavit fillings.
    • Superior canal obliteration by amalgam is suggested as the reason for better outcomes.
    • Results were less favorable in cases with existing marginal bone loss, regardless of filling material.

    Conclusions:

    • Amalgam is a superior material for retrograde root fillings compared to Cavit.
    • Effective canal obliteration by amalgam may reduce the need for revision of incomplete orthograde root fillings.
    • Marginal bone loss negatively impacts the success of retrograde root fillings.
