Surgical endodontic therapy uses root end filling materials to save teeth when other treatments fail. This review evaluates various materials based on leakage, adaptation, and safety in animal and human studies.

Area of Science:

  • Endodontics
  • Dental Materials Science

Background:

  • Non-surgical endodontic treatments may fail or be unsuitable for some patients.
  • Surgical endodontic therapy is an alternative to save the tooth.
  • Root end filling materials are crucial for the success of surgical endodontics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and assess the suitability of various root end filling materials.
  • To evaluate materials based on leakage, marginal adaptation, cytotoxicity, and usage.
  • To synthesize findings from experimental animal and human studies.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of scientific articles.
  • Assessment of root end filling materials.
  • Analysis of data on leakage, marginal adaptation, cytotoxicity, and usage tests.

Main Results:

  • Various materials have been proposed for root end fillings.
  • Suitability is determined by performance in leakage, adaptation, and cytotoxicity tests.
  • Experimental data from animals and humans inform material selection.

Conclusions:

  • The choice of root end filling material impacts the success of surgical endodontic therapy.
  • Evidence from literature guides the selection of appropriate materials.
  • Further research may refine understanding of material performance.
