Zinc Oxide Eugenol (ZOE) as a Root Canal Sealer
Zinc Oxide Eugenol (ZOE) is a widely used material in dentistry, particularly as a root canal sealer. It is a combination of zinc oxide powder and eugenol liquid. When mixed, it forms a paste that sets over time. Here are its main features:
Advantages of ZOE as a Root Canal Sealer
1. Biocompatibility: It is well-tolerated by periapical tissues.
2. Antibacterial Properties: Eugenol provides mild antibacterial effects.
3. Good Flow and Adaptation: It fills small irregularities and voids in the root canal system.
4. Radiopacity: ZOE sealers are radiopaque, making them visible on radiographs.
5. Ease of Use: It is easy to mix and apply.
6. Sealing Ability: Provides a good seal to prevent microleakage.
Disadvantages
1. Solubility: ZOE-based sealers tend to dissolve over time, which may affect long-term sealing.
2. Brittle after Setting: It can become brittle and fracture.
3. Delayed Setting in Moisture: Presence of moisture may slow the setting process.
4. Eugenol Sensitivity: Some patients may have sensitivity or allergies to eugenol.
Clinical Use
ZOE sealers are commonly used with gutta-percha in lateral or vertical compaction techniques for root canal obturation. While they are effective, newer materials such as resin-based, bioceramic, and silicone-based sealers are often preferred for better durability and sealing properties.

Root Canal Sealer
Root Canal Sealer is a dental material used during root canal therapy to fill and seal the small spaces between the root canal walls and the gutta-percha (the main filling material). It helps prevent the re-entry of bacteria and fluids into the root canal system, ensuring a long-lasting, airtight seal for successful treatment.
Types of Root Canal Sealers:
1. Zinc Oxide-Eugenol Sealers: Commonly used and provide good sealing ability with antimicrobial properties. However, they may discolor teeth over time.
2. Calcium Hydroxide Sealers: Known for their antibacterial effects and the ability to stimulate healing, although they may dissolve over time.
3. Epoxy Resin-Based Sealers: Durable and have strong adhesion, commonly used for their long-term sealing ability.
4. Bioceramic Sealers: Biocompatible and ideal for sealing as they expand slightly upon setting, filling any remaining voids in the canal system.
5. Glass Ionomer-Based Sealers: Offer fluoride release and good adhesion to the dentin, although less commonly used compared to other types.
Key Properties:
Adhesion: Provides strong bonding with gutta-percha and dentinal walls to create a sealed environment.
Antibacterial: Many sealers contain ingredients like eugenol or calcium hydroxide that reduce bacterial growth.
Biocompatibility: Ideally, the sealer should be non-irritating to the surrounding tissues for patient safety.
Radiopacity: Sealers are radiopaque so they can be identified on radiographs to ensure the root canal is properly filled.
Application Process:
After cleaning and shaping the root canal, the sealer is applied to coat the canal walls before inserting the gutta-percha cones. Dentists use special instruments to ensure the sealer fills any remaining gaps and provides a complete seal.
Root canal sealers are essential for the success of root canal treatment ( RCT) by ensuring the canal remains sealed, preventing reinfection, and promoting healing. Proper selection and application of the right sealer are key to long-term treatment succe.

Content: 15 gms Powder
Composition:
Powder Thymol Iodide 22.5%, Polyoxymethylene 2.2%, Hydrocortisone Acetate 1% , Dexamethasone Acetate 0.01%, excipient ad 100% Liquid Eugenol.
Properties:
Endofill is a radiopaque preparation for permanent root canal filling. Its composition is well tolerated by tissues and it provides anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and germicidal actions. Before hardening, the paste penetrates the narrowest fissures and maintains its therapeutic effects throughout the treatment untill completely set. The final obturation neither retracts nor resorbs.
Direction for Use:
- Clean the canal thoroughly and dry with hot air.
- Mix the powder and liquid untill to obtain a paste of the required consistency.
