Materials and Methods: About 100 human incisor teeth were prepared with a #25.06 NiTi rotary system and divided into five groups according to the filling material used: Group 1: CLC (gutta-percha, AH-Plus); Group 2: WVC (b phase gutta-percha, AH-Plus); Group 3: WVC (a phase gutta-percha, AH-Plus); Group 4: CLC (Resilon, RealSeal SE); and Group 5: WVC (Resilon, RealSeal SE). Extruded debris during the retreatment procedure was collected in preweighed Eppendorf tubes. The times required for retreatment were recorded. Results: The amount of debris extrusion was significantly greater with WVC than CLC in the gutta-percha and Resilon groups (P < 0.001). Using a phase gutta-percha resulted in significantly more debris extrusion than b phase gutta-percha (P < 0.001). In the WVC groups, Resilon caused significantly more debris extrusion than gutta-percha (P < 0.05). Retreatment was faster for CLC than WVC (P < 0.05). Conclusions: In the retreatment procedure, the amount of apically extruded debris and retreatment duration were dependent on the type of obturation material and technique used.en10.4103/njcp.njcp_663_18info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessApical ExtrusionWarm Vertical CompactionA Phase Gutta-PerchaB Phase Gutta-PerchaResilonRoot CanalsBond StrengthObturationEfficacySystemArticle227926931Q4WOS:0004749194000082-s2.0-8506890857531293256Q3
