Abstract:

Bioceramic sealers have garnered an interest in the endodontic community due to their biocompatibility, hydrophilic properties, and ease of use in a premixed, injectable form. Currently there is conflicting research on the retreatability of bioceramic sealers. The goals of this study were to determine whether canals obturated with various bioceramic sealers hinder the clinicians ability to reestablish patency during retreatment in straight and curved canals, while also exploring whether the method of initial obturation, warm vertical condensation or single-cone hydraulic condensation, has an effect on the clinicians ability to re-establish patency.
