Successful Root Canal Treatment with Cold Ceramic: A Case Report

Abstract

Introduction: The primary goal of endondtics is to prevent the spread of bacteria from the root canal to periapical space; therefore, the sealing ability of root canal filling material is of utmost importance. Cold ceramic is a relatively new retrofilling material which has demonstrated good sealing ability and acceptable criteria as root canal filler in previously conducted studies. Case Report: This case report describes the treatment and 2‐year follow‐up of a mandibular first molar which was filled with cold ceramic in a 42-year-old man. The treated teeth were asymptomatic, and the lesion was resolved after two years. Conclusion: As evidenced by the obtained results, cold ceramic can be considered an effective material to promote the regeneration of apical tissue and root canal treatment.
