Success of Endodontic Treatment With Different Obturation Techniques and Sealer Cements

Evaluation of the Success Rate of Endodontic Treatment Using Different Obturation Techniques and Root Canal Sealer Cements: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Sponsor

University of Siena

Enrollment

270 participants

Start Date

Jun 1, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Periapical Lesions Periapical Periodontitis Pulpitis Periapical Pathology

Summary

The present study aims to compare the radiographic success of endodontic treatment using Orstavik's criteria between two sealers: AH Plus (Dentsply DeTrey, Konstanz, Germany) and Neosealer Flo (Avalon Biomed, Bradenton, Florida, USA), as well as between two obturation techniques: continuous wave and single cone. The study includes 270 patients, with a minimum follow-up period of 6 months. Clinical and radiographic variables will be assessed, including quality of obturation, lesion healing, and restoration. The study seeks to determine if the use of bioceramic sealer is effective regardless of the obturation technique used, highlighting the importance of clinical follow-up to evaluate endodontic treatment success.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This clinical trial is studying a procedure called AH Plus (Dentsply Sirona, Charlotte, NC, USA), a procedure called Continuous Wave Condensation, and others for people with periapical lesions, periapical pathology, and other related conditions. The study is currently recruiting participants at 1 location. People eligible for this study include aged 18 Years and older.

Interventions

PROCEDUREAH Plus (Dentsply Sirona, Charlotte, NC, USA)

Root canal obturation using AH Plus (Dentsply Sirona, Charlotte, NC, USA), a resin-based sealer with low solubility and shrinkage. Used in combination with gutta-percha for root canal filling.

PROCEDURENeoSealer Flo

Root canal obturation using NeoSealer Flo (Avalon Biomed, Houston, TX, USA), a premixed bioceramic sealer based on calcium silicate. Used in combination with gutta-percha to enhance apical healing and biocompatibility.

PROCEDUREContinuous Wave Condensation

A warm vertical compaction technique using heat-softened gutta-percha to obturate the canal in three dimensions. Considered the gold standard for achieving dense and homogenous root canal fillings.

PROCEDURESingle Cone Technique

A cold hydraulic condensation technique using a single gutta-percha cone matched to the last rotary file, combined with a high-flow sealer. Designed for simplified obturation with minimal operator variability.
