Evaluation of the retreatability of bioceramic root canal sealers with various formulations in simulated grooves
Among the evaluated bioceramic sealers, Bio-C Sealer exhibited the highest amount of residual material, particularly in the apical region, indicating its lower retreatability. Passive ultrasonic irrigation improved the removal of BioRoot RCS, CeraSeal, and AH Plus Bioceramic Sealer, but was less effective for Bio-C Sealer and EndoSeal MTA. These findings highlight the variability in retreatability among different bioceramic sealers and emphasize the importance of material selection in cases with potential need for retreatment.
