Considerations in the selection of a root-end filling material

B R Johnson. Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol Endod. 1999 Apr.

Abstract

Surgical root canal treatment often includes the placement of a root-end filling material. New materials have recently emerged to challenge the long-standing position of amalgam as the root-end filling material of choice. This review discusses several of the commonly used root-end filling materials, with emphasis on indications and contraindications for the use of each.
