Effect of Calcium Silicate-Based Root Canal Medicament After Retreatment

Summary

Calcium hydroxide is generally preferred in endodontics as an intracanal medicament due to its antimicrobial and biological effects. However, the antimicrobial effect of calcium hydroxide is limited. A new calcium silicate-based root canal medicament has been developed as an alternative to calcium hydroxide-based medicaments. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of calcium silicate-based root canal medicament on antibacterial, antifungal activity, and postoperative pain in root canal-treated teeth with periapical lesions.
