Root-end filling materials are crucial in periradicular (apical) surgery, especially during apicoectomy, to seal the cavity at the resected tooth apex. Their main function is to prevent microleakage of bacteria, toxins, and fluids between the root canal and surrounding tissues, thereby ensuring successful healing. Over time, materials such as amalgam, glass ionomer cement, composite resins, and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) have been used. Currently, bioceramic materials like MTA and Biodentine are considered the gold standard due to their superior biocompatibility, sealing ability, and...
