ClinConnect Summary

There are a number of studies that have shown promising results with the use of calcium silicate sealer-based obturations in primary root canal treatments. However, to date, there is a lack of studies that evaluate the effectiveness of their use in secondary root canal treatments which are cases that typically present with more persistent infections. The aim of the proposed study is to assess the outcome of sealer-based obturations using a calcium silicate sealer in root canal retreatments and to identify potential predictor variables.
