Micro-endodontic surgery Part 2 : root-end filling materials

Abstract

The evolution of traditional techniques toward modern endodontic surgical procedures was discussed in Part 1 of this series. The clinical procedures usually comprise exposure of the involved area, root-end resection and preparation and placement of root-end filling material. This article is a review of the literature which has been published on those materials that have been suggested for clinical use as root end fillers and on the shift towards the current materials of choice.
