An endo-perio lesion is one of the more common tooth-related problems. An association between the presence of apical and marginal periodontitis is known in the literature and has been observed in 5.7% of individuals aged 40–45 years old. The purpose of the present article is to present three case reports describing the successful retreatment of endo-perio lesions. In each of these cases, we used a biologically active bioceramic root canal sealer, GuttaFlow Bioseal, which is a bioactive root canal filling material composed of gutta percha, polydimethylsiloxane, platinum catalyzer, zirconium dioxide, and bioglass. All cases were followed up clinically and radiographically for a period of at least 11 months.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of coronal leakage on the healing of dogs' periapical tissues after root canal filling, post space preparation and protection or not with a temporary sealer plug. Forty root canals of dogs' teeth were instrumented and filled by the lateral condensation technique with gutta-percha points and Endomethasone or CRCS sealers. After post space preparation, the remaining filling material was protected or not with a plug of temporary Coltosol sealer and exposed to the oral environment for 90 days. Thereafter, the animals were sacrificed and the specimens were removed and prepared for histomorphological and histobacteriological analysis. The findings revealed 35% of microbial leakage in the groups without plugs and 15% of leakage in the groups with plugs. Statistical analysis showed that the use of a Coltosol plug improved significantly the histomorphological results regardless of the type of root canal sealer (p=0.05) and that CRCS and Endomethasone sealers showed similar results (p>0.05).

Besides the risk of filling material extrusion throughout the apex, a satisfactory apical seal can be difficult to achieve in canals with open apices or iatrogenic enlargements of the apical constriction. These situations pose a challenge to root canal filling. This paper describes the root canal filling of a maxillary right canine with an overinstrumented apex, complete loss of the apical stop, extensive canal transportation and apical periodontitis. A 5 mm calcium hydroxide apical plug was placed before root canal filling. The plug was made by soaking paper points with saline, dipping the points in calcium hydroxide powder and then applying it to the apex several times, until a consistent apical plug was obtained. The canal was then irrigated with saline in order to remove any residual calcium hydroxide from the root canal walls, dried with paper points and obturated with an inverted #80 gutta-percha cone and zinc oxide-eugenol based sealer by the lateral condensation technique. An 8-year radiographic follow-up showed formation of mineralized tissue sealing the apical foramen, apical remodeling and no signs of apical periodontitis.

The objective of root canal obturation is to achieve a fluid-tight seal. Recently, GuttaFlow bioseal (GB), a root canal sealer composed of polydimethylsiloxane, gutta-percha particles, and bioactive glass ceramics, has been developed, to enhance the sealing ability of root canal filling material. The objective of this study was to assess the sealing ability of GB using a subnanoliter-scaled fluid-flow measuring device and to compare with that of AH Plus (AH). The fluid flow in root canal-filled teeth using either gutta-percha cone (GP) with AH (GAR; n = 10) or GP with GB (GBR; n = 10) and in GP inserted in AH blocks (GA; n = 10) or GP inserted in GB blocks (GB; n = 10) was measured. In addition, fluid flow in sealer blocks of AH (A; n = 10) and GB (B; n = 10), which served as negative controls, was measured. Root canal-filled teeth using GP without any sealer (GR) acted as positive controls (n = 10). The leakage was obtained by calculating the volume of moved water by time (s), after stabilization of the fluid flow was achieved. Statistical analysis was performed using the Kruskal–Wallis test and Mann–Whitney U-test with Bonferroni correction. A p value less than 0.00238 (0.05/21) was considered significantly different. The mean leakages (nL/s) in the groups are as follows: GAR, 0.0958 ± 0.0543; GBR, 0.0223 ± 0.0246; GA, 0.0644 ± 0.0803; GB, 0.0267 ± 0.0182; A, 0.0055 ± 0.0057; B, 0.0052 ± 0.005; and GR, 0.2892 ± 0.3018. The mean leakage in the GBR group was lower than that in the GAR group (p = 0.001), while the mean leakages in the GA and GB groups were not significantly different. GuttaFlow bioseal can be useful in single-cone obturation technique.

Abstract Aim The focus of this study was to examine the staining potential of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) on tooth structure following the removal of AH26 root canal sealer. Methods and Materials Fifty maxillary anterior teeth were prepared and obturated with AH26 and gutta percha. The sealers were then removed 24 hours later and the teeth were randomly divided into two groups. Ca(OH)2 was then placed in the root canals of the first group of teeth as a medicament and camphorated monochlorophenol (CMCP) was placed in the second group of teeth after the filling material was removed. The color of the external tooth surfaces was determined before tooth preparation and two weeks after the placement of the medicaments. The Z test was used for statistical analysis. Results All experimental teeth showed varying degrees of coronal discoloration with the Ca(OH)2 group showing more discoloration than the CMCP group (p<0.05). Conclusion Using Ca(OH)2 as a medicament after removing AH26 caused progressive discoloration of the teeth, whereas using CMCP caused only slight discoloration. Clinical Significance To avoid staining of the treated tooth, AH26 root canal sealer must be completely removed from the dentin walls before using a medicament.

Introduction. An ideal endodontic sealer should adhere firmly both to dentin and to gutta-percha. Objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate the adhesion of the root canal filling to dentin and gutta-percha using scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). Methods. The sealing ability of endodontic sealers to dentinal walls of the root canal was assessed in recently extracted human single canal premolars. Twenty teeth were prepared using the crown-down technique and irrigated with 3% NaOCl. A total of 20 samples were divided into two groups. The root canals were obturated using Ketac-Endo Aplicap and GutaFlow. The sealing ability and adhesion properties at the sealer-dentin interface were studied using SEM and the results were rated from 1 to 3; extremely good adhesion (rated 1), good adhesion (rated 2) and a relatively good adhesion (rated 3). Results. The results showed extremely good adhesion on Ketac-Endo and GuttaFlow dentin interface. GuttaFlow has strong adhesion (rated 1) to gutta-percha in comparison with Ketac-Endo to gutta-percha interface (rated 2). Conclusion. New GuttaFlow filling material has a strong sealing ability and excellent adhesion to dentinal walls and gutta-percha cones. Ketac-Endo showed excellent bond to dentin with a slightly weaker adhesion capacity to the gutta-percha cones in comparison to GuttaFlow.

Introduction. Root canal filling material may be extruded during retreatment through the apical foramen and cause flare-up or chronic infection. The aim of this study was to compare the apical extrusion of gutta-percha and resilon filling materials during retreatment using hand and rotary instruments. Methods. Sixty extracted single-rooted teeth with single, straight canal were selected. Canals were prepared with ProTaper Universal rotary system to a size F2. Two groups (30 teeth in each) were filled with gutta-percha or resilon points, respectively. In both groups teeth were randomly divided into the three subgroups (10 teeth in each), based on the instruments used for retreatment: Hedstrom hand files and two rotary groups- ProTaper and Twisted File instruments. Apical extrusion was detected visually, using a 4-degree scoring system. Mean scores were calculated and analyzed statistically (t-test and ANOVA). The level of significance was set at p < 0.05. Results. Under tested experimental conditions, the type of canal filling material did not have significant effect on the results of apical extrusion during retreatment. Significantly more material was extruded in the resilon group when manual, Hedstrom file was used (1.80 ? 1.13) than rotary ProTaper (0.60 ? 0.70) and Twisted File (0.50 ? 0.71). Conclusions. The use of a rotary technique is recomended to minimize apical extrusion, especially when resilon obturation material is removed during retreatment.
