Abstract :

Aim: To evaluate the amount of residual filling material after retreatment with R-Endo files in teeth obturated with Gutta-Percha and Resilon.

Materials and Methods: Twenty freshly extracted single rooted human maxillary anterior teeth were selected. The teeth were instrumented with Endosequence files to 0.06 taper #35 file. The teeth were divided into two groups and group I was obturated with Gutta percha and AH-Plus, group II with Resilon-Epiphany sealer. The teeth were stored at 37 for two weeks. Retreatment was done with R-Endo files and the teeth were sectioned. The amount of residual filling material was analysed under stereomicroscope at coronal, middle and apical thirds. The data was statistically analysed.

Results: Residual filling material was observed in both the groups.

Conclusion: The teeth obturated with Resilon-Epiphany showed cleaner walls compared to teeth obturated with Gutta-Percha and AH-Plus.
