Why it matters for dental

Endodontists and restorative dentists should note this upcoming study comparing volumetric stability and marginal adaptation of tricalcium silicate cements used in the “lid technique,” which may directly influence material selection for perforation repair and pulp-capping procedures.

Key points

  • The study will use micro-CT and SEM to quantify volume changes and interfacial gaps of several tricalcium silicate materials placed in a lid-technique configuration.
  • Scheduled for publication in the September 2026 issue of the Journal of Endodontics (Vol. 52, Issue 9).
  • Authors are from Brazilian endodontic research centers, providing independent, peer-reviewed evidence rather than manufacturer-sponsored data.
  • Findings could refine clinical protocols for choosing cements that minimize micro-leakage and maintain seal integrity over time.
