Clinical and radiographic evaluation of a resin-based root canal sealer: an eight-year update

Journal of Endodontics
O Zmener, Cornelis H Pameijer

Abstract

This retrospective clinical and radiographic study evaluated the 8-year outcome of one-visit endodontic treatment of root canals filled with gutta-percha and a methacrylate resin-based sealer (EndoREZ). From an initial sample size of 180 patients, subsequently 145 and 120 patients were evaluated after 14-18 months and 5 years, respectively. Of the remaining patient pool of 120 patients evaluated after 5 years, 112 patients with 212 root canals responded to the 8-year recall. The outcome of treatments was assessed on the basis of clinical and radiographic criteria. Endodontic success was rated on the basis of absence of clinical symptoms, the presence of a normal or slightly widened periodontal ligament space, and absence or substantial reduction in size of preexisting periradicular radiolucencies. Teeth that did not meet these criteria were considered endodontic failures. The root canals had been adequately filled to the working length in 90 teeth (80.35%) and were short in 19 instances (16.96%). None of the roots showing apical extrusion of the sealer immediately postoperatively had radiographic evidence of the sealer in the periradicular tissues after 8 years. At recall, all patients were comfortable and free of clinical symp...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
