TLDR
There is not enough evidence yet to support the ability of recently introduced obturation materials to improve clinical performance, so the need to translate anecdotal information into clinically relevant research data on new biomaterials is emphasized.About:

Dentinal Tubule Penetration of a Calcium Silicate-based Root Canal Sealer with Different Obturation Methods.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that calcium silicate–based root canal sealers penetrated into the dentinal tubules by using different obturation techniques, and it is revealed that the fluorescent dye (Fluo‐3) can be an appropriate marker for tracing the penetration of the calcium silicates–basedRoot Canal sealers in the dentinals tubules.

Quality of obturation achieved by an endodontic core-carrier system with crosslinked gutta-percha carrier in single-rooted canals
Guo Hua Li,Li Na Niu,Lisa C. Selem,Ashraf A. Eid,Brian E. Bergeron,Ji Hua Chen,David H. Pashley,Franklin R. Tay +7 more
TL;DR: The quality of obturation achieved by GuttaCore in single-rooted canals is not significantly different from that achieved by warm vertical compaction, and practitioners may find the Gutta Core core-carrier technique a valuable alternative for obTuration of oval-shaped canals.

Importance and methodologies of endodontic microleakage studies: A systematic review.
Farnaz Jafari,Sanaz Jafari +1 more
TL;DR: The aim of the present study was to comprehensively review different material testing methods used in microleakage studies, their interpretation and importance in endodontic literature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Porosity distribution in root canals filled with gutta percha and calcium silicate cement.
TL;DR: Changing the method used to place the endodontic biomaterials improves the quality and homogeneity of root canal fillings, particularly near the crown of the tooth and in the mid root region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Micro-CT and nano-CT analysis of filling quality of three different endodontic sealers.

TL;DR: Bioactive sealers showed higher root filling rate, lower incidence rate of voids, void fraction and void volume than AH Plus under nano-CT analysis, when round root canals were treated by the single cone technique, suggesting the potential use of nano- CT in quantitative analysis of filling quality of sealers.

Bacterial biofilms : A common cause of persistent infections
TL;DR: Improvements in understanding of the genetic and molecular basis of bacterial community behavior point to therapeutic targets that may provide a means for the control of biofilm infections.

Genetic regulatory mechanisms in the synthesis of proteins.
François Jacob,Jacques Monod +1 more
TL;DR: The synthesis of enzymes in bacteria follows a double genetic control, which appears to operate directly at the level of the synthesis by the gene of a shortlived intermediate, or messenger, which becomes associated with the ribosomes where protein synthesis takes place.

The effects of surgical exposures of dental pulps in germ-free and conventional laboratory rats
TL;DR: The results indicate that the presence or absence of a microbial flora is the major determinant in the healing of exposed rodent pulps, even in the face of gross food impactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors affecting the long-term results of endodontic treatment
TL;DR: The predictability from clinical and radiographic signs of the treatment-outcome in individual cases with preoperative periapical lesions cases was found to be low and factors which were not measured or identified may be critical to the outcome of endodontic treatment.

Mineral Trioxide Aggregate: A Comprehensive Literature Review—Part III: Clinical Applications, Drawbacks, and Mechanism of Action
TL;DR: MTA is a promising material for root-end filling, perforation repair, vital pulp therapy, and apical barrier formation for teeth with necrotic pulps and open apexes and appears to be the material of choice for some clinical applications.
