The Replanting of a 1.1 from an Ectopic Position during the Course of Orthodontic Therapy: Follow-Up at 8 Years. Case Rep Dent 2019; 2019:3956296.

Abstract
The case that is reported here describes the replanting of a 1.1 from an ectopic position during orthodontic therapy. The 9-year-old patient suffered from class 2 type malocclusion with the upper maxilla contracted, right-left posterior cross-bite. The clinical case presented the following details: in the upper incisor group, the 1.1 was overlapping the 1.2 and was distalised and completely vestibularised, whilst in the place of the 1.1, a 1.1 supernumerary persisted in occlusion. Following several medical investigations, such as OPT and, most importantly, TC cone beam investigation, the dangerous position of the dental element became clear. This did not present vestibular cortical bone but only gingival mucosa. Following these investigations, the difficulty in bringing the dental element into its natural position through orthodontic treatment became obvious since the natural position was without sufficient bone support. From this, it became obvious that surgery and replanting of the 1.1 immediately after the extraction of the supernumerary 1.1 was the only choice available.

Abstract
A better understanding of endodontic disease and the causes of treatment failure has refined the role of surgery in endodontics. The advent of newer materials, advances in surgical armamentarium and techniques have also led to an improved endodontic surgical outcome. The aim of this article is to provide a contemporary and up-to-date overview of endodontic surgery. It will focus primarily on the procedures most commonly performed in endodontic surgery.

Abstract
The purpose of a root-end filling is to establish a seal between the root canal space and the periradicular tissues. As root-end filling materials come into contact with periradicular tissues, knowledge of the tissue response is crucial. Almost every available dental restorative material has been suggested as the root-end material of choice at a certain point in the past. This literature review on root-end filling materials will evaluate and comparatively analyse the biocompatibility and tissue response to these products, with primary focus on newly introduced materials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present study is envisaged to evaluate and compare the microleakage of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) with commonly used retrograde filling materials, like light-cured composite with dentin-bonding agents, light-cured glass ionomer cement (LC GIC) and resin-modified zinc oxide eugenol. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety freshly extracted non-carious single-rooted human anterior teeth were used in the study. They were randomly divided into four experimental groups and two control groups of 15 each. Following the biomechanical preparation, all teeth were obturated and then the apices of the obturated teeth were resected by removing 3 mm of each apex at 90° to the long axis of the tooth with a straight fissure bur in a high-speed air-rotor handpiece with water coolant. A 3-mm-deep root end cavity was prepared and the root end fillings were placed as per the manufacturer's instructions and according to the groups divided. The samples were then immersed in 1% methylene blue at room temperature for 72 h, 96 h and 1 week and the dye penetration was measured. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION All the four materials used in the study showed some microleakage throughout the experimental period. The sealing ability in terms of microleakage can be summarized as: MTA > Composite resin with dentin bonding agent > LC GIC > Resin modified zinc oxide eugenol.

Periradicular Tissue Responses to Biologically Active Molecules or MTA When Applied in Furcal Perforation of Dogs' Teeth. Int J Dent 2012; 2012:257832. [PMID: 22319529 PMCID: PMC3272814 DOI: 10.1155/2012/257832] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2011] [Revised: 10/11/2011] [Accepted: 10/24/2011] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was the comparative evaluation of inflammatory reactions and tissue responses to four growth factors, or mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), or a zinc-oxide-eugenol-based cement (IRM) as controls, when used for the repair of furcal perforations in dogs' teeth. Results showed significantly higher inflammatory cell response in the transforming growth factorβ1 (TGFβ1) and zinc-oxide-eugenol-based cement (IRM) groups and higher rates of epithelial proliferation in the TGFβ1, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and insulin growth factor-I (IGF-I) groups compared to the MTA. Significantly higher rates of bone formation were found in the control groups compared to the osteogenic protein-1 (OP-1). Significantly higher rates of cementum formation were observed in the IGF-I and bFGF groups compared to the IRM. None of the biologically active molecules can be suggested for repairing furcal perforations, despite the fact that growth factors exerted a clear stimulatory effect on cementum formation and inhibited collagen capsule formation. MTA exhibited better results than the growth factors.

Abstract
The use of root-end filling materials designed to stimulate hard and soft tissue repair in periradicular tissues is highly recommended. The materials should demonstrate good cell and tissue compatibility. The aim of the present study was to compare in vitro biocompatibility and in vivo tissue reaction with calcium hydroxide-based, eugenol-based and mineral trioxide aggregate root-end filling materials. The human osteosarcoma cell line was treated with immersed root end filling materials. The test materials were implanted in rats and the results observed at 6 and 8 weeks. In vitro, the highest survival rate was demonstrated for the mineral trioxide aggregate (p<0.05). In vivo, a radiopaque ring was evident in the calcium hydroxide implants on the eight-week radiograph. Histopathology revealed eugenol-based material with the inflammatory cells around the implant, with fibrous connective tissue forming around the calcium hydroxide-based analog. The mineral trioxide aggregate appears to be well tolerated by the tissue.

Abstract
Endodontic surgery has now evolved into endodontic microsurgery. By using state-of-the-art equipment, instruments and materials that match biological concepts with clinical practice, we believe that microsurgical approaches produce predictable outcomes in the healing of lesions of endodontic origin. In this review we attempted to provide the most current concepts, techniques, instruments and materials with the aim of demonstrating how far we have come. Our ultimate goal is to assertively teach the future generation of graduate students and also train our colleagues to incorporate these techniques and concepts into everyday practice.

Abstract
In the present study, the biocompatibility of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) to the revascularization of the connective tissues was evaluated by using the improved rabbit ear chamber, in vivo. Twenty improved rabbit ear chamber was prepared from 12 male albino-rabbit by using a well through which a material could be introduced into the living vascular tissue. Ten chambers were provided for MTA, and the remaining 10 chambers were used for a calcium hydroxide-containing root canal sealer (Sealapex), as a comparator. A volume of about 1.5 mm(3) of the materials were inserted into the chamber and the interaction between the vascular tissue and materials was observed by using a biomicroscope immediately after application, at 1, 3, 5.5, 8, 24, 48, 72 h, and once a week up to 4 weeks. The results revealed that revascularization of connective tissue took place with complete recovery of microcirculation within 4 weeks in both MTA and Sealapex. However, the precipitate-barrier and brown zone around periphery of Sealapex was not observed in MTA treated samples. It can be concluded that MTA is biocompatible and does not produce any adverse site effect on microcirculation of the connective tissue.

Abstract
AIM To compare the marginal adaptation of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) or amalgam root-end fillings in extracted teeth under low-vacuum (LV) versus high-vacuum (HV) scanning electron microscope (SEM) viewing conditions. METHODOLOGY Root-end fillings were placed in 20 extracted single-rooted maxillary teeth. Ten root ends were filled with MTA and the other 10 root ends were filled with amalgam. Two 1 mm thick transverse sections of each root-end filling were cut 0.50 mm (top) and 1.50 mm (bottom) from the apex. Gap size was recorded at eight fixed points along the dentine-filling material interface on each section when uncoated wet (LV wet (LVW)) and dry under LV (0.3 Torr) in a JEOL JSM-5800 SEM and backscatter emission (LV dry uncoated (LVDU)). The sections were then air-dried, gold-coated and gap size was recorded once again at the fixed points under HV (10(-6) Torr; HV dry coated (HVDC)). Specimen cracking, and the size and extent of the crack were noted. RESULTS Gap sizes at fixed points were smallest under LVW and largest under HVDC SEM conditions. Gaps were smallest in MTA root-end fillings. A General Linear Models Analysis, with gap size as the dependent variable, showed significant effects for extent of crack in dentine, material and viewing condition (P = 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS This study showed that MTA produced a superior marginal adaptation to amalgam, and that LVW conditions showed the lowest gap size. Gap size was influenced by the method of SEM viewing. If only HV SEM viewing conditions are used for MTA and amalgam root-end fillings, a correction factor of 3.5 and 2.2, respectively, may be used to enable relative comparisons of gap size to LVW conditions.

Abstract
AIM To determine the five-year success rates, site or sites of failure, prognostic indicators and lower lip morbidity associated with molar apicectomy using amalgam root-end filling. DESIGN Multicentre, prospective study. SETTING The departments of oral and maxillo-facial surgery in two district general hospitals. METHOD One thousand and seven molar apicectomy procedures, combined with amalgam root-end filling were expedited during the period 1974-1995. A five-year review of each operated tooth was carried out or attempted between 1979-2000. RESULTS Of the 790 (78%) operated molars successfully reviewed at 5 years or later 451 (57%) exhibited 'complete healing' and 39 (5%) 'uncertain healing'. Three hundred (38%) were classified as 'unsatisfactory healing' (failures), and these included 12 which were assumed to be of periodontal origin. Whilst longitudinal root fracture, perforation and/or infection in the furcation, periodontal disease or a non-restorable crown accounted for treatment failure and often the need to remove teeth subsequently, the study probably pointed to the apical ends of the roots rather than the furcation as being the major sites at which 'unsatisfactory healing' occurred. Mandibular first molars attracted the highest 'complete healing' rate (60%) and mandibular second molars the lowest (46%). 'Good' root canal treatment (RCT) at the outset improved the prognosis of a root-end filling (REF) whilst the absence of RCT compromised it. Cystic change pointed to a better prognosis than apical granulomatous change as did a deep compared with a shallow 'bone cuff'. Disease at the furcation suggested a worse prognosis. Teeth which showed 'complete healing' at 1 year had a 75% probability of maintaining this outcome at 5 years. Sensory disturbance of variable duration occurred in the lower lip following 20-21% of mandibular molar procedures. In the majority of cases (79-80%) this had remitted within 3 months. A permanent deficit occurred in 8 patients (1%) where the apicectomy could definitely be incriminated as causative. Four were associated with first molar apicectomy and four with second molar apicectomy. CONCLUSIONS Molar apicectomy with amalgam root-end filling attracts an overall 'complete healing' rate at 5 years of 57%, the results being best with mandibular first molars and worst with mandibular second molars. The prognosis is also better where there is 'good' initial orthograde root filling, an associated radicular cyst as compared with granulomatous change and where the buccal sulcus is deep rather than shallow. It is worse when orthograde root filling is absent and when there is disease in the furcation. 'Complete healing' at 1 year can be expected to be maintained at 5 years in 75% of cases. The commonest site of subsequent periradicular rarefaction seems to be 'apical' whilst failure at the furcation is probably comparatively rare. There is a threefold increase in the occurrence of permanent lower lip sensory impairment following second molar surgery in comparison with first molar surgery, the overall incidence being 1%.

Abstract
AIM To assess the success rate of the root-end filling material, Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA). METHODOLOGY Referred adult patients were recruited using strict entry criteria and randomly allocated to receive MTA or IRM. A standardized surgical technique was employed: the root end was resected perpendicularly and a root-end cavity was prepared ultrasonically and filled. A radiograph taken immediately after surgery was compared with those taken at 12 and 24 months. Customised film holders and the paralleling technique were used; radiographs were assessed by two trained observers using agreed criteria. The results from 122 patients (58 in IRM group, 64 in MTA group) after 12 months and 108 patients (47 in IRM group, 61 in MTA group) for the 24-month review period were analysed using the chi2 test. RESULTS The highest number of teeth with complete healing at both times was observed when MTA was used. When the numbers of teeth with complete and incomplete (scar) healing, and those with uncertain and unsatisfactory healing were combined, the success rate for MTA was higher (84% after 12 months, 92% after 24 months) compared with IRM (76% after 12 months, 87% after 24 months). However, statistical analysis showed no significant difference in success between materials (P > 0.05) at both 12 and 24 months. CONCLUSIONS In this study, the use of MTA as a root-end filling material resulted in a high success rate that was not significantly better than that obtained using IRM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of 4 root-end filling materials (mineral trioxide aggregate [MTA], intermediate restorative material [IRM], amalgam, and Retroplast) on cell growth, cell morphology, and cytokine (interleukin [IL]1beta and IL-6) production in mouse fibroblasts and macrophages. STUDY DESIGN Millipore culture plate inserts with freshly mixed or set root-end filling material were placed into 6-well cell culture plates with already attached mouse fibroblasts or macrophages. Cells cultured with only the Millipore culture plate inserts served as a control. After a 3-day incubation, cell morphology was examined, and the total cell number per well was counted and analyzed by using 1-way analysis of variance. For cytokine assay, mouse macrophages were incubated in 24-well flat-bottom plates with set root-end filling material disks in the bottom. Cells cultured without the material disks served as negative controls, and cells cultured with lipopolysaccharides served as positive controls. After 24-hour incubation, culture media were collected for cytokine assay by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS All root-end filling materials inhibited the cell growth of mouse fibroblasts and macrophages. There was no growth in the originally seeded cells in the fresh IRM, the fresh Retroplast, and the set IRM group. There was no difference between MTA and amalgam for cell growth either in the fresh material groups or in the set material groups. The total cell number in the set Retroplast group was significantly less than that in the set MTA group. Morphologically, MTA was characterized by denatured medium proteins and dead cells adjacent to the material, which were observed only in the fresh MTA group. There was no detected cytokine production in any of the tested material groups. CONCLUSION All root-end filling materials inhibited cell growth, and none induced IL-1beta and IL-6 production.

Abstract
Root-canal-filling materials are either placed directly onto vital periapical tissues or may leach through dentine. The tissue response to these materials therefore becomes important and may influence the outcome of endodontic treatment. This paper is a review of the biocompatibility of contemporary orthograde and retrograde root-canal-filling materials.

Abstract
The cytotoxicity of three root-end filling materials (amalgam, IRM, and Super-EBA) was evaluated in cultures of human periodontal ligament cells and human osteoblast-like cells. Ten-millimeter-long plastic test tubes were filled with 3 mm of freshly mixed root-end filling materials at one end (1.5 mm diameter). The opposite end was sealed and attached by heat to a 35-mm cell culture dish. Human periodontal ligament cells and human osteoblast-like cells were seeded in the dishes. The size of cell-free zones around the root-end filling materials and the total cell number per dish were calculated after 3 and 7 days. Empty test tubes used as controls did not influence the growth and distribution of the cultured cells. Cell density increased in all groups in the test period. Amalgam had a larger cell-free zone, compared with IRM and Super-EBA and showed a reduction in total cell number per dish for both tested cell types. IRM and Super-EBA also had a cell-free inhibition zone for both cell types, but no significant reduction in total cell number per dish. This study showed that amalgam had a higher cell toxicity to human periodontal ligament cells and human osteoblast-like cells than IRM and Super-EBA.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the tissue reaction to implanted mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), amalgam, Intermediate Restorative Material, and Super-EBA in the tibias and mandibles of guinea pigs. After anesthetizing 20 guinea pigs, raising tissue flaps, and preparing bony cavities, the test materials were placed in Teflon cups and implanted in the tibias and 10 days later in the mandibles. The animals were euthanized 80 days later and the tissues prepared for histological examination. The presence of inflammation, predominant cell type, and thickness of fibrous connective tissue adjacent to each implant were recorded. The tissue reaction to MTA implantation was the most favorable observed at both sites; as in every specimen, it was free of inflammation (p < 0.01). In the tibia, MTA was the material most often observed with direct bone apposition. Based on these results, MTA seems to be a biocompatible material.

Abstract
The effects of three root-end filling materials on healing following endodontic surgery were assessed radiologically and correlated with histological findings reported elsewhere. The materials compared were a light-cured glass ionomer cement (Vitrebond), a reinforced zinc oxide-eugenol cement (Kalzinol) and amalgam. The root canals of 27 two-rooted mandibular premolar teeth of six beagle dogs were inoculated with endodontic pathogenic bacteria to induce periradicular lesions. The roots were apicected and root-end cavities filled with the tested filling materials. The teeth and surrounding jaw were removed after 4 weeks (30 roots) or 8 weeks (24 roots). Radiographs were taken of each jaw section and subjected to image analysis. Healing was evaluated based on measurements of the size of the periradicular radiolucent areas. ANOVA disclosed no statistically significant differences in the size of the periradicular areas either between time periods or between materials. These results did not correlate with the tissue responses in the same material as assessed histologically and previously reported. The use of radiographs alone to assess healing after endodontic surgery in the dog mandible is unsatisfactory, and should not be regarded as a substitute for histological examination for the determination of healing.

Abstract
This study evaluated a technique that included retrofill to repair molar root canal perforations and guided tissue regeneration to restore the periodontium that was removed from the furcation area for access to the sites. Six dogs had root canal therapy on mandibular fourth premolars and first molars. The distal root of each tooth was perforated on the furcation aspect halfway between the furcation and the apex. Replaced flap surgery was performed for access to prepare and fill the perforation site with intermediate Restorative Material. A bone xenograft was placed in the access ostectomy site and covered with GoreTex Augmentation Material (GTAM). Controls included unfilled perforations and not using bone grafts and/or GTAM. Dogs were killed at 6, 12, and 24 wk postsurgery. Complications were more common when root perforations were left unfilled. Histomorphometry revealed a statistically significant decrease in inflammation and more bone fill when root perforations were filled and GTAM was used, respectively.

Abstract
Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) has been shown in a number of experiments to be a potential root-end filling material. The purpose of this study was to examine the periradicular tissue response of monkeys to MTA and amalgam as root-end fillings. The pulps were removed from all the maxillary incisors of three monkeys. The root canals were prepared and filled with laterally condensed guttapercha and sealer, and the access cavities were restored with amalgam. Buccal mucoperiosteal flaps were raised, and root-end resections were performed before root-end cavity preparation with burs. The root-end cavities in half of the teeth were filled with MTA, while amalgam was placed in the other cavities. After 5 months the periradicular tissue response was evaluated histologically. The results showed no periradicular inflammation adjacent to five of six root ends filled with MTA; also five of six root ends filled with MTA had a complete layer of cementum over the filling. In contrast, all root ends filled with amalgam showed periradicular inflammation, and cementum had not formed over the root-end filling material, although it was present over the cut root end. Based on these results and previous investigations, MTA is recommended as a root-end filling material in man.

Abstract
When non-surgical attempts prove unsuccessful or are contraindicated, surgical endodontic therapy is needed to save the tooth. The procedure usually consists of exposure of the involved area, root end resection, root end preparation and insertion of a root end filling material. Numerous materials have been suggested as root end filling materials. This article is a review of the literature on the suitability of various root end filling materials based on their leakage assessment, marginal adaptation, cytotoxicity, and usage test in experimental animals and humans.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In recent years various root-end filling materials have been suggested for clinical use. The purpose of this study was to assess the radiopacity of some potential materials according to ISO specification 6876. STUDY DESIGN Radiographs were taken of 1-mm thick specimens of eight materials (amalgam, Kalzinol, IRM, Super EBA, Vitrebond, Fuji II LC, Chemfil, gutta-percha); light transmission was assessed densitometrically and related to equivalent thickness of aluminum. RESULTS Commercial glass ionomer cements (Vitrebond, Fuji II LC, Chemfil) had radiopacities below the international standard for root canal sealers (< 3-mm aluminum); three zinc oxide-eugenol cements (Kalzinol, Super EBA, IRM) had radiopacities equivalent to 5 to 8 mm aluminum; and gutta-percha had a radiopacity equivalent to 6.1-mm aluminum. CONCLUSIONS We recommend that root-end filling materials should have a radiopacity greater than that for root canal sealers.

Abstract
This study examined histologically the effect of three sealers used with gutta-percha as root-end fillings placed in a replantation model. A total of 14 molar teeth were used in seven monkeys. After extraction, root ends were resected, the canals contaminated with oral bacteria, root-end cavities prepared, and fillings of gutta-percha and sealer placed prior to replantation. After 8 weeks the teeth and surrounding jaw were removed and prepared for histological examination. Six roots filled with gutta-percha plus a fortified zinc oxide-eugenol cement (IRM), 13 with gutta-percha plus zinc oxide-eugenol (EP), and eight with gutta-percha plus Kloropercha, were available for examination. The tissue response to gutta-percha with either zinc oxide material was characterized by little or no inflammation of limited extent. In contrast, more severe inflammation was observed against root ends filled with gutta-percha and Kloropercha. Gutta-percha plus IRM or zinc oxide-eugenol had a much more favourable response than that to amalgam reported previously in a similar experiment.

Abstract
The sealing ability of two potential retrograde root filling materials, a light-cured glass ionomer cement (Vitrebond) and a reinforced zinc oxide-eugenol cement (Kalzinol) was compared with that of amalgam using three methods of assessment: bacterial leakage, confocal microscopy and Indian ink leakage. the root canals of 80 extracted human single-rooted teeth were prepared. All the teeth were apicected, retrograde cavities were prepared and then divided into four equal groups of 20 teeth. The teeth were sterilised by autoclaving and the retrograde cavities filled with the test materials. In the control group, retrograde cavities in 10 teeth were left unfilled while cavities in another 10 teeth were sealed with cyanoacrylate cement. The teeth were first subjected to a bacterial leakage test using Enterococcus faecalis as a leakage marker. After which, the adaptation of the retrograde root fillings was assessed using a confocal optical microscope. Finally, the teeth were processed for the Indian ink leakage test. Bacterial leakage occurred in more teeth filled with amalgam compared with both Vitrebond and Kalzinol (P<0.001), between which there were no differences. With confocal microscopy, the size of the marginal gap was largest with amalgam and smallest with Vitrebond; all differences were statistically significant (<0.001). Finally, there was more Indian ink penetration with amalgam compared with both Vitrebond and Kalzinol (P<0.001) but there were no differences between Vitrebond and Kalzinol. Although there were individual differences within samples, overall, the three methods of assessment produced similar results. The sealing ability of Vitrebond and Kalzinol was similar and both materials were better than amalgam.

Abstract
This study examined the effect of various zinc oxide materials as root-end fillings of teeth in a replantation model. A total of 35 molar teeth were used from 19 monkeys. After extraction, root ends were resected, the canals contaminated with oral bacteria, root-end cavities prepared and fillings placed prior to replantation. After 8 weeks the teeth and surrounding jaw were removed and prepared for histological examination. Twelve roots were filled with IRM plus dentine chips, and six with Cavit; the tissue response around root ends filled with these materials as assessed by inflammation was similar to that previous reported to IRM and Super EBA cement and was characterized by little or no inflammation of limited extent. In contrast, more severe inflammation was observed around root ends filled with plain zinc oxide-eugenol or Kalzinol; however, the reaction was neither as severe nor as extensive as that to amalgam root-end fillings. Giant cells were observed most often on the surface of fillings with Cavit and zinc oxide-eugenol. It is concluded that the tissue response to IRM with or without added dentine, Super EBA and Cavit was similar and mild; it was less severe than that to zinc oxide-eugenol and Kalzinol. All these materials had a much more favourable response than amalgam

Abstract
The histologic response to intentional perforation in the furcations of 28 mandibular premolars in seven dogs was investigated. In half the teeth, the perforations were repaired immediately with either amalgam or mineral trioxide aggregate; in the rest the perforations were left open to salivary contamination before repair. All repaired perforations were left for 4 months before histologic examination of vertical sections through the site. In the immediately repaired group, all the amalgam specimens were associated with inflammation, whereas only one of six with mineral trioxide aggregate was; further, the five noninflamed mineral trioxide aggregate specimens had some cementum over the repair material. In the delayed group, all the amalgam specimens were associated with inflammation; in contrast only four of seven filled with the aggregate were inflamed. On the basis of these results, it appears that mineral trioxide aggregate is a far more suitable material than amalgam for perforation repair, particularly when used immediately after perforation.

Abstract
The effect of Super-EBA cement as a root-end filling placed in teeth before replantation was examined in eight molar roots in monkeys. After extraction, root ends were resected, the canals contaminated with oral bacteria, root-end cavities prepared, and fillings of Super-EBA placed before replantation. After 8 wk, the jaws were removed and prepared for histological examination. The tissue response to Super-EBA was very mild, with only a few inflammatory cells being observed at the root end of 3 of the 8 roots filled. Previous work showed a similarly mild response to Intermediate Restorative Material and a very much more severe response to amalgam. It is concluded that the tissue response to Super-EBA as a root-end filling is acceptable and considerably more favorable than that to amalgam.
