Aim:
This study aimed to compare the retreatability of hydraulic calcium silicate-based (HCSB) and epoxy resin-based sealers in single-rooted mandibular premolars, with a specific focus on sealer remnants and retreatment duration.
Methodology:
Sixty mandibular premolars were biomechanically prepared and obturated with BioRoot RCS, MTA Fillapex, or AH Plus. After a one-month period, the gutta-percha was removed and the specimens were analyzed under a stereomicroscope.
Result:
BioRoot RCS showed the most remnants and longest retreatment time, while AH Plus was the most efficient.
Conclusion:
BioRoot RCS is less favorable for retreatment, with AH Plus being the most effective.
