Description
Summary:	The aim of this study was the 12-month radiological assessment of the results obtained following endodontic treatments performed using two conventional and widely used root canal filling materials. Material and method. There were 22 patients included in the study, undergoing treatment for 24 teeth with one or more roots, teeth with gangrene and periapical pathology. Periapical lesions were assessed using digital radiography at baseline, after 6 months and after 12 months, using the periapical index (Periapical Index Score, PAI). The group of patients was randomly divided into two groups, with 12 teeth subjected to root canal treatment using AH Plus (DentsplyDeTrey GmbH, Konstanz, Germany) and 12 teeth subjected to root canal treatment using RealSeal SE (SybronEndo, Orange, CA, USA). Results. The changes observed in the apical region were not statistically different when considering the two root canal filling materials used for treatment. However, the comparison between the periapical index values recorded for every time interval revealed a statistically significant difference compared with baseline in both groups. Conclusion. A proper therapeutic conduct, closely following the rigorous isolation, mechanical and antiseptic preparation and root canal filling stages, is urgently required for a successful therapy.
