Marginal Adaptation of Calcium Silicate-based Materials used in Furcal Perforation Repair: A Comparative in Vitro Study

I. Dimitrova, Y. Kouzmanova

Abstract: The purpose of this research was to study the marginal adaptation of eight calcium silicate-based materials when used to seal large furcal perforations, compared with one resin-modified glass-ionomer cement by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). onclusionAll tested calcium silicate-based materials showed good marginal adaptation and are suitable for large furcal perforation repair.
