Abstract:

Root-end filling is an important step in apical surgery. Strict apical sealing is the key to microleakage reduction and successful operation. Numerous methods exist for the in vitro evaluation of apical sealing. They include dye lea-kage, three-dimensional image analysis, bacterial and endotoxin leakage, fluid filtration, and glucose leakage. This work aims to introduce the progress in the research on various evaluation methods and the advantages and disadvantages of these methods to provide a reference for the development of novel materials and techniques for root-end filling.

Key words: apical surgery, root-end filling, apical sealing, microleakage
