ClinConnect Summary

Calcium silicate sealers are used in endodontics because of their biocompatibility, bioactive properties and fluid-tight seal that forms a chemical bond with root canal dentine. In vitro and retrospective studies have shown promising results. However, to date, there is a lack of prospective and well-controlled studies.

Aims and objectives:

1. To compare the clinical outcome of SBO with WVC in primary root canal treatment.
2. To compare the radiographic outcome of SBO with WVC in primary root canal treatment using periapical radiography (PA) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
