Summary: This study evaluated the sealing and filling quality achieved at simulated lateral canals using different root canal sealers after applying the same filling technique. The results showed that the type of sealer used had an impact on the filling adequacy at different positions within the root canal.

Summary: This study evaluated the quality of root canal obturation in curved root canals filled with different techniques. The results showed variations in the performance of different filling materials at different levels in the canal, and the use of sonic activation of sealers did not reduce the presence of voids within obturation.

Summary: The aim of the study was to identify factors associated with extractions within 5 years after root fillings in the adult Swedish population. Various individual- and tooth-specific variables were found to be associated with extractions, with restoration type and composite restorations showing high odds ratios for extractions. Further research is needed to understand the reasons for extractions.

Summary: This prospective clinical study compared postoperative pain after single-visit, non-surgical root canal treatment of teeth with irreversible pulpitis using two different root canal filling techniques. The results showed that the intensity of postoperative pain for the two obturation techniques was equivalent at evaluated time points.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the influence of the relative positions of the heat carrier and lateral canal opening on gutta-percha obturation of lateral canals. The results showed that the relative positions of the heat carrier and lateral canal opening affect the obturation depth of gutta-percha.

Summary: The successful outcome of endodontic treatment relies on thorough cleaning, shaping, and three-dimensional sealing of the root canal system. Accurate knowledge of tooth anatomy and curvature is crucial to prevent procedural errors. The innovative JIG technique yields higher values for canal curvature angles compared to routine radiographs, emphasizing the importance for clinicians to be mindful of this difference during treatment.

Summary: This systematic review aimed to investigate the impact of different obturation techniques and materials on the management of apical periodontitis (AP). The results showed that the obturation techniques and materials used did not affect the outcome of AP. Vertical compaction resulted in faster resolution of periapical lesions, while patients treated with lateral condensation had poorer oral health-related quality of life.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the sealing property, penetration, and long-term antibacterial and therapeutic effect of EndoREZ modified with DMADDM and MNP in the single-cone technique. The modified root canal sealer demonstrated better performance in terms of penetration, antibacterial property, and treatment effect compared to other groups.

Summary: This in vitro study compared the dentinal tubule penetration of two calcium silicate-based sealers using warm vertical compaction (WVC) and single cone (SC) techniques. The results showed that WVC allowed better diffusion of sealers at both 1 mm and 5 mm from the apex, highlighting the importance of technique in enhancing sealer penetration into dentinal tubules.

Summary: This paper proposed the use of electromagnetic warm compaction (EMWC) technology to produce CNTs/TC4 composite specimens and studied the effect of temperature on its compaction characteristics. The results showed that with the increase of temperature, the density and hardness of the compacts gradually increased and the compressive strength also improved.

Summary: This study compared the sealing properties between BeeFill 2in1 warm vertical compaction technique and cold lateral compaction technique. After 1 month, leakage specimens were measured using transverse root sectioning. The results showed that the BeeFill 2in1 group had lower frequency of sections with void, percentage of void area, and percentage of sections at 1 mm-13 mm levels compared to the cold lateral compaction group. The BeeFill 2in1 warm vertical compaction technique has advantages in dealing with long oval canals.

Summary: The study aimed to assess the quality of root canal filling and the number of visits needed for completing root canal treatment (RCT) by operators with different experience. The study found that 4th year dentistry students required more visits and had lower treatment quality compared to other groups, while endodontists needed the lowest number of visits but more often overfilled teeth than other operators. No statistical difference in quality of root canal filling was noted between 5th year students, general dental practitioners, and endodontists.
