Perspectives on periradicular healing using Sealapex: a case report.

The use of the calcium hydroxide-containing root canal sealer, Sealapex, has been questioned regarding its predisposition to solubility and subsequent effect on the root canal seal and periradicular healing. This case report demonstrates, radiographically, dissolution of excess sealer in the periradicular tissues with subsequent osseous repair which was similar to healing in periradicular tissues where there was no extruded sealer.
