Root canal sealers used in dentistry play a pivotal role in endodontics and its procedures, ensuring complete and permanent seal to prevent any micro leakage, and chances of re-infection and help in promoting peri apical healing. The primary role of sealers is to close the cavities in canals and accessory canals. It creates a strong bond between the gutta percha i.e. filling material and root dentinal walls and acts as a plasticizer for core fillings. This article will discuss three main types of sealers: Bioceramic cements & sealers, calcium hydroxide sealers and epoxy-based sealers and their importance in endodontics, their properties, applications and uses.

Benefits of using RC Sealers and Repairative bio-ceramic Cements:

Root canal sealers in endodontics are essential for several reasons such as:

  1. Complete seal: new advancements in sealers help in achieving the hermetic seal of the root canal system which aids in the healing of peri apical tissue and ensures no micro leakage or entry of bacteria.

  2. Adaptation to canal irregularities: sealers are designed in such a way that their flowable properties help in sealing the accessory canals and filling the voids in canal irregularities, ensuring comprehensive fillings of root canal systems.

  3. Reducing post-endodontic symptoms: proper sealing enhances the overall prognosis of root canal treatment and minimizes the chances of post-operative complications.

  4. Biocompatibility: modern advancements in sealers such as bio-ceramic sealers are highly biocompatible, and well adapted by the surrounding tissues to promote better healing and reduce the risk of inflammatory response.

  5. Dimensional stability: epoxy-based resins offer great dimensional stability ensuring long-term efficacy and minimizing shrinkage.

Avue A+ calcium hydroxide-based root canal sealer offers great anti-microbial properties and induces apical closure via cementogenesis. Angelus Bio C repair sealer, is ready to be used as a bioceramic sealer, its mechanical and chemical properties make it easy to manipulate and its biological properties and high pH confer safety. Diadent Dia pro seal epoxy-based root canal sealer is highly biocompatible and has outstanding flow characteristics offering excellent stability. MTA Fillapex combines MTA benefits with easy application and handling characteristics.

How to use RC Sealers & Repairative Cements:

Preparation and applications:

  1. Bioceramic sealers: these sealers such as Angelus Bio C repair are readily available in pre-mixed syringes with tips that can be penetrated deep to the apex or can be mixed manually in equal proportion and applied with the help of a spreader or lentulo spirals.

  2. Calcium hydroxide sealers: apply either by mixing two pastes with the help of an instrument. They can be applied in thin layers and evenly distributed or can be mixed powder with saline.

  3. Epoxy-based sealers: mix as directed by the manufacturer, apply evenly and condense around gutta-percha.

Techniques for effective application:

  1. Canal preparation: cleaning and shaping play a pivotal role in the overall prognosis of treatment involves shaping of canal irrigating the canals with materials and intra-canal medicaments and drying the canal before sealer application.

  2. Instrumentation: Use proper instruments to avoid voids and ensure adequate seal.

  3. Setting time: follow the recommended mixing and setting time provided by the manufacturer for better results and optimal hardening.

Angelus bio C repair is a Bioceramic reparative cement having excellent sealing abilities and is highly biocompatible, suitable for root canal repairs. MTA root canal sealers such as Angelus MTA are known for their biocompatibility and versatile uses in endodontic procedures.

Safety tips and Best practices:

  1. Infection control: sterilization and disinfection of all materials and instruments before procedures is of utmost importance for the treatment, apart from sterilization, it is important to follow proper handling and disposal protocols.

  2. Material handling: handling of materials like storage in appropriate temperatures to avoid any defect apart from following manufacturers' guidelines i.e. mixing time and method of application to prevent complications like over or under-mixing.

  3. Patient considerations: patient history like medical or allergic to materials to avoid any adverse effect, use of biocompatible materials for better results, and providing post-op care instructions to manage any complications.
