Leakage resistance of the InnoEndo fiber obturation system.
To ensure long-term function, endodontic restorations require proper sealing of the root canal system. Recent studies have recognized that microleakage in endodontically treated teeth has negative consequences (ie, apical migration of bacteria) on their prognosis, often resulting in failure. Findings in the dental literature suggest that the innovative technology, consisting of fiber-based obturation and adhesive obturation materials, can minimize this leakage. As demonstrated in this article, the ability to achieve an adequate marginal seal represents a significant advance in endodontic therapy.
