Why it matters for dental
Endodontists and general dentists performing retreatments should note that a calcium silicate-specific solvent may improve removal of bioceramic sealers, reducing residual material that multisonic irrigation alone may not fully clear.
Key points
- Micro-CT analysis showed the calcium silicate-specific solvent enhanced removal of calcium silicate-based filling materials during retreatment compared to conventional methods.
- Residual filling material persisted in some canals after multisonic irrigation when the solvent was not used.
- Study authors include researchers from multiple international institutions, indicating broad applicability to endodontic retreatment protocols.
- Published in the Journal of Endodontics, the findings provide peer-reviewed data for clinicians considering solvent-assisted retreatment workflows.
