4. Final step in endodontic treatment – OBTURATION
Main objective – substitution of pulp tissue space with an inert
filling material
Pulp remnants, necrotic tissue, bacteria and its byproducts –
Inaccessible areas of cleaned and shaped canal – poor defense of
Host – Lesion
OBTURATION – Must to prevent coronal leakage, bacterial
Contamination, sealing of bacteria from p.a tissue
fluids and sealing remaining irritnats in canals.

5. Study by Ingle and Beveridge (1985) :
58% Endodontic failures – INCOMPLETE OBTURATION
Principal cause of failure of endodontic treatment
Since Ingle’s classic study – Great emphasis given on
developing materials and
www.indiandentalacademy.com obturation
techniques for
6. Materials used for obturation
Core + Sealer = Obturation
Acc to Grossman:
1. Plastics
2. Solids
3. Cements
4. Pastes
Requirements of an ideal root canal filling material:
1) Be easily introduced in canal
2) Seal the canal laterally and apically
3) Shouldn’t shrink after insertion
4) Impervious to moisture
5) Bacteriostatic
6) Radiopaque www.indiandentalacademy.com
7. 7) Shouldn’t stain the tooth
8) Shouldn’t irritate periradicular tissue
9) Should be sterile or easily/quickly sterilized
10) Easy removal if necessary
Sealers :
• Zinc oxide-Eugenol based
• Calcium hydroxide based
• Resin
• Glass ionomer based
Ideal requisites of a root canal sealer (Grossman):
1) Should be tacky – for good adhesion
2) Hermetic seal
www.indiandentalacademy.com
8. 3) Radiopaque
4) Fine particles - easy mixing with liquid
5) Shouldn’t shrink
6) Shouldn’t stain the tooth
7) Bacteriostatic
8) Set slowly
9) Insoluble in tissue fluids
10) Non irritating to periradicular tissues
11) Soluble in common solvent – easy removal
12) Should not provoke an immune response
13) Neither mutagenic/carcinogenic
www.indiandentalacademy.com
9. Most common solid core root canal filling material – Gutta Percha
Gold standard for endodontic obturation !!!
resently – Gutta percha filling – Weak point in R.C.T
Torabinejad et al – G.P fillings challenged by bacteria
50% specimen allowed penetration to
entire length
Drawbacks of Gutta Percha:
. Inability to achieve a fluid impervious seal
. Inability to reinforce tooth structure
www.indiandentalacademy.com
10. - Material that would effectively seal and reinforce the tooth
www.indiandentalacademy.com
12. Evolution of Adhesive endodontics
Lack of adhesion of gutta percha and root dentin –Flared canals
Coronal microleakage with G.P fillings (Swanson and Madison, 1987)
Coronal microleakage with temporary filling materials
High incidence of vertical fractures
Quest – a new material
Resin sealers e.g. AH26, Epiphany etc with G.P
RESILON – MONOBLOCK CONCEPT
www.indiandentalacademy.com
13. Bonding to root dentin
Entry of adhesive endodontics – Promising
Contributing factors in root dentin bonding:
a) Anatomy of roots
b) Tooth position
c) Presence of residual tissues
d) Curing techniques
e) Experience and skill of operator
f) Tubular density, microbranching and tubular
arrangement
www.indiandentalacademy.com
14. Ferrari and Mjor (2000) – SEM insight of normal and etched
root dentin
NORMAL
Coronal 3rd Middle 3rd Apical 3rd
ETCHED
www.indiandentalacademy.com
15. mportant considerations:
) The dentin tubule- structure, size and number-
affect bonding (Patrick etal)
) Effects of etching more pronounced in coronal
than in apical 3rd – Limitation of penetration of
etchant (Ferrari)
) Carrying of adhesives to the apical 3 rd – A
limiting factor
) Ferrari et al – Resin dentin interdiffusion zone
not uniform at the apical 3rd
www.indiandentalacademy.com
16. 5) Interaction of intracanal medicaments and irrigants
with the adhesives:
a) Calcium hydroxide – Neutralize the action of
self etching primer, interfere with bonds in
more coronal parts when present in excess
b) NaOcl/ H2O2 – Decrease bond strengths
(Erdemir)
6) Difficulty in drying the canal - Self etch adhesives
preferred
www.indiandentalacademy.com
17. Geometric factors affecting bonding in root canals
Polymerization of resins
Decrease in volume of monomer
Shrinkage
Shrinkage stresses
Debonding
MICROLEAKAGE
FAILURE
www.indiandentalacademy.com
18. Stress relief α Cavity geometry and Resin film thickness
Class I cavity – Movement/flow of unbounded surface
Stress relief
In long narrow root canals – Small unbounded surface
Insufficient stress relief
Debonding of one/more surface
Configuration factor = Total bonded area
Total unbonded area
C-factor α 1 (Franklin Tay et al)
Sealer thickness
www.indiandentalacademy.com
19. i.e. Greater sealer = Lesser C-factor
Franklin’s study – C-factor of 46-23461 with increasing sealer
thickness (500 - 1µ)
Lesser the sealer thickness
Lesser the Shrinkage
Lesser Polymerization stresses
Lesser chance of DEBONDING
Very high C-factor in root canals – Major obstacle in
producing gap free adhesive fillings
www.indiandentalacademy.com
20. Shrinkage stresses - Higher in low filled, low viscosity resins
Slow polymerizing resin
Flow of resin
Relief of shrinkage stresses due to prolonged gelation time
(Autopolymerizes in 45 min)

Thermoplastic, synthetic polymer based( Polyester) Core
Composition:
Polycaprolactone – 50%
Methacrylate co-polymers – 10%
Glass fillers – 40% - Bioactive glass
Others – Bismuth oxychloride
Resilon points – Available in ISO sizes in 0.02, 0.04, 0.06 tapers
www.indiandentalacademy.com
41. roperties of Resilon:
Thermoplasticity :
Due to presence of polycaprolactone which has low glass
transition temperature (-62ºC)
Polymer – Cooled below glass transition temp – Brittle like glass
Heated above - Soft and flexible like elastomer
At room temp – Resilon is above glass transition temp – Rubbery
At body temp - Below glass transition temp – Glassy
Thermal properties – Marcus R Miner, 2006
Melting point – GP – 60.01ºC, Resilon – 60.57ºC
Claimed by manufacturer – 70-80ºC
Specific heat capacity – Heat that must be added to raise temp
of 1 gm of material by 1ºC
G.P – 0.94ºC, Resilon – 1.15ºC – More heat required to melt
resilon
www.indiandentalacademy.com
42. ) Enthalpy change – Amt of heat absorbed or released when
reaction takes place
G.P – 10.88 J/gm, Resilon – 25.2 J/gm
NFERENCE – Resilon requires more heat to equally plasticize as
G.P
) Cytotoxicity – Jennifer key, 2006
Same biocompatibility as G.P
) Resilon for root reinforcement:
A myth or reality
Chad williams et al (2006) –
Modulus of elasticity of dentin – 16000 Mpa
Material to reinforce dentin Should have the same elasticity
Modulus of elasticity – G.P – 74.22 Mpa, Resilon – 129.16
www.indiandentalacademy.com
43. Cohesive strength of dentin – 36-100 Mpa
Cohesive strength – G.P- 6.3 Mpa, Resilon – 7.8 Mpa
Resilon has glass transition temperature below body
temperature:
Acts as an elastomer - undergo flow or elongate under
stress
Ideal material to reinforce roots:
1. Cohesive strength and modulus of elasticity = Dentin
2. Polymer with glass transition tmperature above body
temperature
Composite resins – Satisfy the criteria to some extent ,
Modulus of elasticity = 12000 Mpa
www.indiandentalacademy.com
44. 5) Bondability of resilon with methacrylate sealers:
Resilon – Introduced to bond with methacrylate selaers and
produce a Monoblock with the tooth
Franklin Tay et al (2006):
Weak chemical union between resilon and methacrylate sealer
Cause – Phase separation due to insufficient dimethacrylate in
resilon and absence of free radicals within resilon for coupling
Alternative – G.P coated with polybutadiene diisocyanate
methacrylate resin
www.indiandentalacademy.com
45. 6) Removal for retreatment:
Heat or solvents like chloroform etc
Daniel pinto ( 2006) – Resilon and epiphany - easy and faster to
remove than G.P and AH26 with rotary K3
files and chloroform
Elie Ezzie (2006) – similar findings with rotary (Profiles) and
chloroform
Reason – Resilon has low melting poin than G.P. When heated
it exhibits flowability – Quicker removal
www.indiandentalacademy.com
46. 7) Degradability:
Polycaprolactone – Degradeable polymer
Used as biodegradeable water or milk container,
resorbable sutures
Degrades slowly in water but the rate can be accelarated with
enzymes e.g. esterases as it is a polyester
Hydrolases e.g. lipases from bacteria, fungi and yeast – van also
cleave the ester bonds
Franklin and Pashley – Alkaline hydrolyses – Fissures seen on
surface of resilon – susceptible to alkaline hydorlysis
www.indiandentalacademy.com
47. Enzymatic hydrolysis – surface erosion
Alkaline hydrolysis – bulk degradation
Another study by Franklin –
Cholestrol esterase – thinning of material and exposing of larger
bioactive glass fillers
From above data :
Microbial attack Bacterial enzymes Resilon degrade
At present – Susceptibility of resilon to degradation to plethora of
microrganisms in root canal space – UNKNOWN
Further studies and long term clinical data
required

www.indiandentalacademy.com
49. roperties of resilon sealer:
) Radiopacity – Epiphany – 6.1/ m of al
AH PLUS – 13.6
) Solubility – Acc to ADA specification 57 – not more than 3%
Epiphany – 3.41%
AH Plus – 0.21%
Reason – erosion of filler particles due to degradation
) Flow test – Acc to ADA – Not less than 20 mm
Epiphany – 35.74 mm
AH Plus – 38.57 mm
) Setting time – Acc to ADA – should be within 10 % of that stated
by manufacturer
Acc to manufacturer – Epiphany – 25 min, AH Plus –480 min
Acc to studies – Epiphany – 24.75 min, AH Plus – 500 min
www.indiandentalacademy.com
50. 5) Film thickness – Acc to ADA - not more than 50µ
Epiphany – 20.1µ
AH Plus – 10.6
6) Dimensional alterations – Acc to ADA – linear shrinkage of not
more than 1% and expansion of 0.1%
Expansion – Epiphany – 8.1%, AH Plus – 1.3%
Reason – Water sorption due to:
a) Hydrophillic difunctional methacrylates – Absorb water
b) Filler content – Ca hydroxide – Absorb water
7) Sealing ability:
Epiphany resistant to bacterial penetration – Shipper et al (2004),
Teixeira et al(2004)
Ryan Stratton et al - Epiphany and resilon leak less than G.P and
AH Plus
Stephen G. Biggs – Comparable leakage to G.P and AH Plus
Tay et al - Similar results
www.indiandentalacademy.com
51. 8) Effect of intracanal medicaments and irrigants:
Porkaew et al, Wuerch et al - Ca hydroxide did not adversely
affect the apical seal
Kim et al – Ca hydroxide increased the apical leakage
Reason – EDTA used forms complexes with Ca
Ryan Stratton et al – Irrigants like 5.25% Sod Hypo, 0.12% CHX,
or 2% CHX – did not alter sealing ability
9) Biocompatibility:
Cassio et al(2006) – Intraosseous implantation –AH Plus = Severe
inflammation, EndoRez = Severe inflammation
with chronic inflammation,Epiphany = None
to slight
Jennifer key – Epiphany more cytotoxic than Grossman, Sealapex
and Thermaseal

Setting time – 15-20 min, final set -2 hrs.
Disadvantages:
Poor Sealing ability (Brian et al):
After 7 days the sealer had not set, was seen bubbling
out
Oxygen in atmosphere could have prevented the
setting
SEM images- Sponge like appearance which allowed
leakage www.indiandentalacademy.com
57. EndoRez Points
Techniques:
Resilon Points
Resin coated G.P:
Can be used with any sealer
Franklin et al – Radiographically acceptable results
Drawback – Resin coating and sealer interface weak link –
Shrinkage and Delamination
Cause -Absence of oxygen inhibited layer, removed to
prevent sticking of G.P during storage
lternative – Adhesive resin application on resin coated G.P
before insertion (Noriko Hiraishi, 2006)
www.indiandentalacademy.com

www.indiandentalacademy.com
62. Introduction of resins into root canal has created a
revolution in endodontics. But still known is a drop and
unknown is an ocean.
Further studies and long term clinical data is required
before judging the credibility these adhesive root fillings.
