Resilon: Review of a New Material for Obturation of the Canal

The Journal of Contemporary Dental Practice, 2015
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.

Comparison between gutta-percha and Resilon retreatment

Journal of Oral Science, 2009
Retreatment procedures in endodontic practice require complete removal of the original root filling materials. The aim of this study was to compare the amount of residual filling material on the walls of root canals that were obturated with gutta-percha or Resilon. Thirty extracted single-rooted human teeth were selected and instrumented by RaCe rotary

Intraoperative Use of CBCT for Identification and Localization of Calcified Canals: A Clinical Technique

Case Reports in Dentistry, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
Localization of calcified canals has always been a challenge in the field of endodontics. The following report of three cases describes a technique for the identification and negotiation of obliterated canals by use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) intraoperatively. Canal orifices could not be found clinically in all three cases.

Evaluation of the Sealing Ability of Three Obturation Techniques Using a Glucose Leakage Test

BioMed Research International, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
The aim of this study was to evaluate the sealing ability of three different canal filling techniques. Sixty‐four roots of extracted human maxillary anterior teeth were prepared using ProTaper® rotary instruments. The specimens were then randomly divided into 3 experimental groups (n = 16) and 2 control groups (n = 8). The root canals were filled using

The Tubular Penetration Depth and Adaption of Four Sealers: A Scanning Electron Microscopic Study

BioMed Research International, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
Background. The tubular penetration and adaptation of the sealer are important factors for successful root canal filling. The aim of this study was to evaluate the tubular penetration depth of four different sealers in the coronal, middle, and apical third of root canals as well as the adaptation of these sealers to root canal walls.

An In Vitro Comparative Study of the Adaptation and Sealing Ability of Two Carrier‐Based Root Canal Obturators

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
The study was done to assess the sealing ability and adaptation of RealSeal 1, and to compare it with Thermafil. 65 single‐rooted extracted teeth were selected and root canal treatment was performed. Root canals were obturated with RealSeal 1 or Thermafil. A double chamber bacterial leakage model using E.

In Vitro Effects of External Pressure Changes on the Sealing Ability under Simulated Diving Conditions

International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Aim. To measure and validate the permeability of pressure changes in correlation to different root filling techniques. Methods. Eighty extracted single‐rooted teeth were randomly assigned to one of eight groups of ten teeth. Following standardized instrumentation and irrigation, root canal fillings were performed using either cold lateral condensation,

Removal of Gutta‐Percha/Zinc‐Oxide‐Eugenol Sealer or Gutta‐Percha/Epoxy Resin Sealer from Severely Curved Canals: An In Vitro Study

International Journal of Dentistry, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011
The aim of this study was to compare the cleanliness of root canal walls after retreatment using two rotary retreatment files to hand instruments in severely curved canals obturated with gutta‐percha and two different sealers. Single rooted mandibular premolars (n = 90) with root curvatures were instrumented and obturated with gutta‐percha and an epoxy
