Popis: Objectives: To evaluate the retreatment efficacy of premixed bioceramic sealer using a reciprocating system, comparing single-cone and carrier-based obturation techniques. Materials and Methods: Twenty-three monoradicular teeth with oval canals were divided into two groups: NeoSealer Flo with single cone (SC) and NeoSealer Flo with Guttafusion (GF). Retreatment was performed using Reciproc Blue (RB) with a crown-down technique. X-ray and CBCT images were taken to measure the remnant areas and volumes. Results: Apical patency was achieved in all the samples. The remnants were mostly distributed in the middle third in the GF group, while an equal distribution in both the middle and apical thirds was observed in the SC group. The GF group had a lower remnant area and volume after RB 50.05, respectively (0.18 ± 0.33 mm2 vs. 0.39 ± 0.80 mm2 and 0.36 ± 0.59 mm3 vs. 0.51 ± 1.16 mm3). The use of RB 50.05 led to an additional reduction in the remnant areas in the SC (14.89%) and GF (69.49%) groups, while in terms of the volume, the reductions were 20.63% and 36.36%. Conclusions: Reciprocating instruments are effective in removing remnants from root canals filled with both single-cone and carrier-based techniques. The blooming effect in CBCT imaging suggests further in vivo studies for validation.
