Retrograde root filling with amalgam and Cavit

Retrograde root filling with amalgam and Cavit

In a 3-year review of 218 teeth with retrograde root filling with amalgam or Cavit, the results obtained with the former proved significantly better than those obtained with the latter. The difference seemed to be due to a better obliteration of the canal by amalgam. The obliterating effect of amalg...

Zusammenfassung:In a 3-year review of 218 teeth with retrograde root filling with amalgam or Cavit, the results obtained with the former proved significantly better than those obtained with the latter. The difference seemed to be due to a better obliteration of the canal by amalgam. The obliterating effect of amalgam probably eliminates the need for revision of incomplete orthograde root filling, for example, in cases with a post in the root canal. Irrespective of type of filling materials, the results were less good in cases with marginal bone loss.
