What is it about?
Treatment and 2-year follow-up of the healing process of 40 cases of endodontic perforations with various localization - furcal, lateral and apical, are presented. Clinical cases were divided into 4 groups of 10 perforations in each and repaired with 4 different CSCs: white ProRoot MTA, gray MTA-Angelus, Boiaggregate, and Biodentine.

Why is it important?
The success rate of the four materials used was 90% with no statistically significant difference between them. There is no data in the available literature about long-term comparative investigations on the success of perforations sealing with different types of calcium-silicate cements.
Perspectives
Most of the reports in the literature concerning monitoring the healing outcome of perforations are about treatment of individual clinical cases or case series repaired with one material. We had compared 4 calcium-silicate cements - white ProRoot MTA, gray MTA-Angelus, Bioaggregate, and Biodentine. A successful healing rate of 90% was observed in all tested materials.
