A Comparative Analysis of Biomaterials for Retrograde Filling in Apical Surgery.
Sponsor: University of Valencia
Summary
The aim of this study is to compare two biomaterials used for retrograde obturation during apical surgery. This surgery is indicated in healthy patients when root canal treatment (endodontics) has failed to eliminate a periapical lesion (a persistent infection in the root of the tooth). The main question it seeks to answer is: \- Is TotalFill® BC-RRM Fast Set Putty more effective than ProRoot® MTA in periapical surgery in terms of the degree of healing? The study will include patients who need this type of surgery and meet specific clinical criteria. Each patient will have one of the two materials applied as part of the standard surgical procedure. Subsequently, clinical and radiographic follow-up will be performed to assess the degree of healing of the periapical lesion with a 1-year follow-up.

Conditions
Interventions
Mineral Trioxide Aggregate
Trioxide Mineral Aggregate as a retrograde filling material has 3 basic properties: biocompatibility, impermeable sealing of the root canal and properties that facilitate its clinical use. It has excellent properties that contribute to the healing of the periapical lesion.
BioCeramic Root Repair Material Fast Set Putty.
BioCeramic Root Repair Material (BCRRM) is a pre-mixed, easy to handle material that has demonstrated properties equivalent to MTA in terms of periapical lesion healing.
