ABSTRACT Resilon is a thermoplastic synthetic polymer-based endodontic material alternative to gutta-percha. It contains bioactive glass and also radiopaque fillers. It has the same handling properties as gutta-percha. For endodontic retreatment, it may be dissolved with some solvents, such as chloroform or softened with heat. The composition of Resilon and its sealer (Epiphany) bond to dentin and form a monoblock. A review of the literature and a discussion of its properties comparing to other root canal filling materials are presented.

ABSTRACT A review of the literature on the use of carrier based obturation materials focusing on Thermafil and Resilon based obturator (RealSeal 1) are presented in this article. The review addressed the history, apical leakage, coronal leakage, biocompatibility, sealing ability and clinical success of Thermafil and RealSeal 1. Based on the studies gathered, this review concluded that both treatment techniques (Thermafil and RealSeal 1) did not provide excellent apical sealing ability. More research should be done to try to overcome their main drawback, its sealing ability. How to cite this article Al-Kahtani AM. Carrier-based Root Canal Filling Materials: A Literature Review.

Abstract Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the potential of a smear-layer removing agent (citric acid) vs. an accepted gutta-percha-softening agent (Xylol) as an alternative substance for removing the root canal filling materials, while investigating the potential for associated demineralization effects. Materials and Methods: Seventy healthy, recently extracted premolars were used, ten as control, with sixty with their canals enlarged, shaped and cleaned and obturated using lateral compaction. Teeth were distributed into 3 groups as follows: 1) no solvent and mechanical removal of the filling materials; 2) 1ml of Xylol for 1 minute followed by mechanical removal; and 3) 10% citric acid for 1 minute followed by mechanical removal. Two sections of the root were used, one for Raman spectroscopy analysis to evaluate morphological changes in dentine surface and the other for micro-hardness testing (Vickers). Results: The use of 10% citric acid in in the removal of gutta-percha and sealer was more effective than the Xylol and mechanical group (p<0.05), presented less remnants of filling material debris and with non-observable demineralizing effects. Conclusion: Citric acid might be considered as a viable alternative in the removal of gutta-percha and sealer during root canal retreatment.Clinical Relevance: This research showed how citric acid can be used as an alternative in endodontic retreatment; how efficiently removed the filling material without damaging the dental tissue.
