A 12-month follow-up of primary and secondary root canal treatment in teeth obturated with a hydraulic sealer.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This randomized, controlled, pilot study assessed the outcome of non-surgical primary/secondary root canal treatments either with a novel bioactive sealer and the single-cone technique or with gutta-percha, zinc oxide-eugenol sealer (ZOE), and warm vertical compaction.

Materials and methods

Sixty-nine patients were randomly divided into two groups that were treated using the single-cone technique with BioRoot^TM RCS (Septodont) (BIO group) or warm vertical compaction with gutta-percha and ZOE sealer (PCS group). Two subsamples (BIOAP and PCSAP) comprised the cases with apical periodontitis. Treatment was undertaken by four residents using a standardized instrumentation and disinfection protocol. The periapical index (PAI) was recorded, and clinical and r
