| Abstract:
|
The main goal of endodontic procedure is to provide a complete 3-D seal of the tooth from the periodontium.The purpose of a root-end filling is to establish a seal between the root canal space and the periradicular tissues. When this is not possible by orthograde approach, retrograde filling needs to be done. As root-end filling materials come into contact with periradicular tissues, knowledge of the tissue response is crucial. Almost every available dental restorative material has been suggested as the root-end material of choice at a certain point in the past. Plethora of dental materials is available as root end filling material. This literature review on root-end filling materials will evaluate and comparatively analyse the biocompatibility and tissue response to these products, the advantages and disadvantages of various retrograde materials with primary focus on newly introduced materials.
