Factors Influencing Apical Extrusion of 2 Types of Endodontic Sealers with Different Delivery Systems
Wet canals, apical sealer tip placement, larger apical diameters or gauges, and pumping actions significantly increase the risk of extrusion, particularly with sealers that are delivered in a syringe, such as BioRoot Flow. These findings underscore the significance of procedural control in minimizing sealer extrusion and enhancing clinical outcomes.
