Abstract: One of the essentials during root canal therapy is creating a closed sterile environment. However, there are many cases in which the patients have teeth with an open apical area and mostly occur in young permanent teeth. These kinds of teeth are usually more difficult to treat, and meanwhile, the microleakage is easier to appear which may lead to lower success rate. Root-end filling treatment, widely used in clinic, can both shorten the course of treatment and improve clinical efficacy by forming an apical stop artificially. By analyzing the relevant research in recent years, the application of bioceramics in root-end filling treatment are reviewed in this paper, expecting to provide some references for the choosing of materials for root-end filling treatment.

Key words: young permanent teeth, root-end filling, MTA, bioceramics
