Biocompatibility of dental materials used in contemporary endodontic therapy: a review. Part 2. Root-canal-filling materials

C H J Hauman et al. Int Endod J. 2003 Mar.

Abstract

Root-canal-filling materials are either placed directly onto vital periapical tissues or may leach through dentine. The tissue response to these materials therefore becomes important and may influence the outcome of endodontic treatment. This paper is a review of the biocompatibility of contemporary orthograde and retrograde root-canal-filling materials.
