Abstract:
Introduction:
Root canal treatments in dentistry remove damaged pulp, clean canals, and seal them to prevent infections. Root canal therapy effectiveness depends on various parameters, including sealer type and content. The procedure entails the closure of gaps, sealing of extra canals, multiple openings, and capturing of any leftover microorganisms. Sealers are necessary to guarantee the effectiveness of root canal therapy. Endoseal MTA is an injectable paste type sealer that is based on calcium silicate. Studies have demonstrated advantages in the use of this substance. However, similar to any material, it also has limitations. The aim of this research was to assess the existing data, specifically focusing on the properties of Endoseal MTA. This review examines all aspects of Endoseal MTA.
Method and materials:
The literature on this topic, mostly from 1980-2024, was gathered by electronic database searches and manual searches in relevant periodicals. For this narrative evaluation, 81 relevant articles were chosen.
Results:
Endoseal MTA, similar to other endodontic sealers, has advantages and disadvantages. It has less microleakage and voids, better sealing in the single cone technique, good antibacterial activity, adhesion and bond strength, setting time, flew ability, radiopacity, but tooth discoloration, high solubility, and poor retreatment ability.
Conclusion:
The established biological characteristics of calcium silicate and the favorable outcomes of this sealer in many investigations suggest its efficacy in specific situations, based upon suitable case selection. Finally, it can be a superior alternative to traditional sealers.
