Abstract
A
review of the literature on the use of carrier based obturation
materials focusing on Thermafil and Resilon based obturator (RealSeal 1)
are presented in this article. The review addressed the history, apical
leakage, coronal leakage, biocompatibility, sealing ability and
clinical success of Thermafil and RealSeal 1. Based on the studies
gathered, this review concluded that both treatment techniques
(Thermafil and RealSeal 1) did not provide excellent apical sealing
ability. More research should be done to try to overcome their main
drawback, its sealing ability.
