Popis: Bonding to dentin is a promising property, which can prevent leakage and improve the sealing ability of endodontic filling materials. Resilon was developed and recommended initially because the existing root canal filling materials did not bond to root canal dentin. Since its introduction in 2004, numerous reports have been published regarding various aspects of this material. This article aimed to review existing literature on Resilon’s physical and chemical properties as well as leakage studies. Articles on Resilon were collected using electronic and hand searching methods from May 2004 to April 2012. Having some antibacterial and antifungal properties, it is a promising material for root canal filling. Despite the presence of numerous case reports and case series regarding its applications, there are few designed research studies on clinical applications of this material.
