A novel root canal filling technique using a resin-based sealer without gutta-percha: a summary of two cases.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Root canal filling is a fundamental step in non-surgical root canal treatment (RCT), required to prevent reinfection or new infection within the root canal system. Traditionally root canal filling uses a sealer in combination with gutta-percha (GP). Here, two cases are presented in which the root canals were filled using only a methacrylic resin-based sealer without GP.

Materials and methods

Two patients (one male, one female) required RCT - one due to irreversible pulpitis and the other to facilitate a subsequent post-retained protheses. Each RCT was performed according to a standardized procedure, before root canal filling using only methacrylic resin sealer.

Results

Fillings were completed in curved and straight root canals without evidence of apical ext
