Pentron Clinical Technologies, LLC announces the launch of a new online, monthly educational series, “Epiphany
® Case of the Month,” which will be presented on the company’s website at
http://www.pentron.com/ and on the Resilon Research website at
http://www.resilonresearch.com/.
Each month a new endodontic case study, including detailed radiographs, will be featured describing initial presentation, treatment options, procedure details and long-term postoperative follow-up. These case studies highlight the benefits of the revolutionary Epiphany® Soft Resin Endodontic Obturation System, which includes Resilon™ * obturation material, available in points and pellets, Epiphany® primer and Epiphany® dual cure sealer. Epiphany® sealer bonds directly to the tooth as well as to the Resilon™ obturation material creating an immediate coronal seal. The end result is a bonded resin monoblock in the treated canal that greatly reduces the risk of bacterial microleakage, and strengthens the root resulting in improved fracture-resistance.
The clinical sealing and strengthening properties of the Epiphany
® System have been proven through a variety of studies published by researchers at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; the University of Maryland; the University of Rome, La Sapienza and the Scandinavian Institute of Dental Materials as well as by more than 2 years of clinical experience. Some of these studies have found that root canals treated with the Epiphany
® System and Resilon™ obturation material were associated with significantly less apical periodontitis, which was attributed to its improved resistance to coronal microleakage. Please reference the clinical data available by visiting
