Sealing Efficiency of BeeFill 2in1 Filling Technique and Cold Lateral Compaction Technique

Objective: To discuss sealing properties between BeeFill 2in1 warm vertical compaction technique and cold lateral compaction technique. Methods: Group1 BeeFill 2in1, Group 2: cold lateral com-paction. The leakage specimens were measured using the transverse root sectioning, after 1 month. Results: The statistical analysis showed that the frequency of section with void, the percentage of void area and the percentage of sections at 1 mm-13 mm levels, the BeeFill 2in1 group were lower than those of the cold lateral compaction group. Conclusion: BeeFill 2in1 warm vertical compaction technique has its advantage in dealing with the long oval canal.

Automated summary

This study compared the sealing properties between BeeFill 2in1 warm vertical compaction technique and cold lateral compaction technique. After 1 month, leakage specimens were measured using transverse root sectioning. The results showed that the BeeFill 2in1 group had lower frequency of sections with void, percentage of void area, and percentage of sections at 1 mm-13 mm levels compared to the cold lateral compaction group. The BeeFill 2in1 warm vertical compaction technique has advantages in dealing with long oval canals.
