AH Plus extrusion into periapical tissue: literature review of main related properties and report of clinical cases

Resumo

The sealers were developed for filling of root canals.
Due to their physicochemical and technical properties used for
obturation, often, extrusion is observed through apical constriction
and occasionally by lateral and secondary canals. Objective: To
review the literature on important properties to be considered in
AH Plus sealer extrusion and report a case series of this sealer
extrusion. Literature review: Articles evaluating the cytotoxicity
and biocompatibility properties, besides flow and solubility were
selected. Case report: In the presented cases, endodontic treatment
was performed with rotary instrumentation and irrigation with 2.5%
NaOCl. Obturation employed visual, tactile, and radiographic proof of
gutta-percha main cone, and different obturation techniques. There
were no reports of pain during and after endodontic treatment.
Conclusion: AH Plus has adequate properties for a filling material
and causes no major damage to the periapical tissues due to its
little cytotoxic.
