title: Is there a best retrograde filling material?
abstract: Operating microscopes and ultrasonic instruments have been used in root end filling procedures. The concepts, techniques, and materials for root end filling have been evolving. After eradicating or minimizing the irritants in the root canal system, the root end cavity has to be filled in a practical and convenient way. Super EBA seems to have more advantages. Some other potential root end filling materials and techniques are also discussed.
