Abstract

Background: Pulpitis is a common dental condition that significantly impacts the health and work capacity of affected individuals. Achieving a hermetic seal of the root canal system remains a challenge for dental practitioners. Gutta Flow Bioseal root canal sealing material presents numerous advantages over traditional materials. Currently, there is limited research in Vietnam regarding the treatment efficacy of Gutta Flow Bioseal. Objective: To describe the clinical characteristics, canal morphology, and evaluate the treatment outcomes of root canal obturation in single-rooted teeth with chronic periapical periodontitis using the single cone technique combined with Gutta Flow Bioseal sealer at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital from 2022-2024. Materials and methods: An interventional clinical study without a control group was conducted on 50 patients with single-rooted teeth diagnosed with chronic periapical periodontitis and indicated for endodontic treatment were included.  Results: The average age was 40.6 ± 18.4 years. The most commonly affected teeth in the study were the maxillary central incisors (46%) and the mandibular premolars (20%). Most of the affected teeth had a single root canal (96%) and a straight canal shape (86%). Regarding root canal morphology according to Vertucci, Type I was predominant, accounting for 88%. The average root canal length was 20.1 ± 2.4 mm. Six months post-treatment, the majority of patients recovered (70%) and showed improvement in clinical symptoms. Conclusion: Most affected teeth had a single canal and were primarily Verticcui type I. After 6 months, the majority of treatments resulted in recovery and improvement in clinical symptoms.
