Endodontic filling/sealing material

Endodontic filling/sealing materials are dental substances designed to permanently seal the root canal system of a tooth after endodontic treatment. These materials are placed inside the canal to prevent bacterial leakage, support long-term tooth stability, and restore function, ensuring the treated tooth remains infection-free and structurally sound.

These devices are typically single-use, prefabricated, and come in various compositions like metallic or polymeric compounds. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their intended use and risk level, with compliance requirements often tied to biocompatibility and sterilization standards. Availability may include both loose powder or paste forms and pre-filled applicators.
