Retrievability of Bioceramic Sealers Assessed using Micro-computed Tomography and Scanning Electron Microscopy: A Literature Review [PDF]
Endodontic retreatment is a procedure to remove root canal filling material from the tooth, followed by cleaning, shaping, and obturation of the canals. Treatment outcomes may be influenced by incomplete removal of filling materials.

Subcutaneous connective tissue response to primary root canal filling materials [PDF]
This study evaluated the response of the subcutaneous connective tissue of BALB/c mice to root filling materials indicated for primary teeth: zinc oxide/eugenol cement (ZOE), Calen paste thickened with zinc oxide (Calen/ZO) and Sealapex sealer. The mice (n=102) received polyethylene tube implants with the materials, thereby forming 11 groups, as ...
