Why it matters for dental
Endodontists and restorative dentists can gain a new tool for removing bioceramic sealer during retreatment; the ex-vivo data show improved apical-patency rates, which may shorten procedure time and reduce perforation risk in retreatments.
Key points
- Journal of Endodontics, September 2026, reports an ex-vivo comparison of a novel bioceramic solvent versus conventional solvents.
- Primary outcome: higher percentage of teeth maintained apical patency when the novel solvent was used.
- Study authors: Duska Stopar, Janina Golob Deeb, Caroline K. Carrico, Ana Cristina Andrada.
- Clinical implication: if confirmed in vivo, the solvent could reduce procedural complications in nonsurgical retreatment cases involving bioceramic sealers.
