Success of Endodontic Treatment With Different Obturation Techniques and Sealer Cements
Sponsor: University of Siena
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.

Interventions
AH 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.
NeoSealer 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.
Continuous 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.
Single 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.
