The clinical use of a flowable premixed calcium-silicate bioceramic sealer used in association with warm carrier-based/single-cone technique will be compared with epoxy resin-based sealer with carrier-based technique.
Healthy consecutive patients (n= 109) requiring 141 root canal treatments were enrolled in this study and divided in 3 groups (Group 1: Ceraseal + single cone cold technique n=47. Group 2: Ceraseal + Carrier-based technique n=47. Group 3 AH Plus + Carrier based technique n=47). Periapical X-rays were taken preoperatively, after root canal filling and after 6, 12 and 24 months. Two evaluators blindly assessed the Periapical Index (PAI) and sealer extrusion in the 3 groups (k =0.90). Healing rate and survival rate were also analysed. Chi square tests was used to analyse significant differences among the groups. Multilevel analysis was performed to analyse the factors associated to healing status and survival status.
