Clinical Evaluation of a newly-developed Cavity Sealing Material at the Time of the Root Canal Treatment

Abstract

  In order to carry out an ideal root canal treatment there are some principles concerning with the endodontic procedures. Among them, the hermetic cavity sealing of root canals can be mentioned. Of course, a lot of researches have been conducted for the purpose of producing the ideal cavity sealing materials. But, there were always some disadvantages.

  This time, in order to improve the disadvantages such as smell, taste and irritation, a new caviy sealing material for a root canal treatment was developed in cooperation with Showa Yakuhin Co. and was named Canseal.

  Based upon the basic and experimental animimal researches, we carried out its clinical application by using 10 incisor and 40 molar teeth of 41 patients.

  As a result, clinical problems such as the falling off, wear and fracture were minor. In addition, the smell and taste were also greatly improved and did not produced a unpleasant sensation like the zinc oxide eugenol cement. The mixing procedure was no difference in comparision with the zinc oxide eugenol cement.

  From the above results, it can be concluded that this newly developed non-eugenol cavity sealing material Canseal does not have any serious clinical problems and that this material can be used for the rutine endodontic treatment.
