Conference summary
The complexity of the root canal anatomy prompts the constant update of endodontics.
Within the past decades significant changes occurred in endodontic material science, which is continuing to evolve. Thermoplastic filling techniques have occupied a prominent place when choosing the technique to obturate the canal system.
The development of biomaterials that promote the repair of damaged living tissues aiming at the rapid restoration of their physiological functions has been the object of intense and growing worldwide investigation.
Inspired by the excellent sealing ability, biocompatibility and bioactivity of calcium silicate-based cements, the new sealers establish a biological perspective on the obturation of root canals.
