Methodologies used for testing the sealability of endodontic temporary fillings in vitro: A narrative review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The ability of the temporary filling to seal endodontic access cavities may be crucial for the success of endodontic treatment. Numerous in vitro studies have investigated the sealability of the temporary fillings used in endodontic treatments. However, in vitro sealability studies have been criticized for their inconsistent results and questionable clinical relevance. Some journals have imposed moratoriums on publishing such studies to encourage researchers to test their validity and clinical relevance. Since the implementation of this moratorium, little progress has been made in this field. To further encourage researchers to investigate the reliability of these studies, this review presents an overview of the methodologies of studies that examine the a
