title: Chemistry and structure of a new canal sealer showing a dynamical behaviour.
abstract: The complete apical seal without percolation and transit of bacteria and their products along the wall of the endodontic canal is the fundamental condition to obtain a lasting result of a correct endodontic therapy. The aim of this study was to characterize a new formulation cement (PROENDO, VEBAS, Italy) with characteristics totally different from the conventional ones. Finally, we can assert that an alloplastic material like PROENDO, which is the subject of this study, bio-compatible, osteo-inductive, non-toxic, with adhesive capacities, is able to quicken the phenomena of restoration and recovery after an endodontic operation.
