Abstract
A resin-based root canal filling material, Resilon/Epiphany was introduced to overcome the limitations of gutta-percha and other sealers. It is claimed that Resilon/Epiphany can enhance the sealing ability by forming a monoblock. Studies related to this material are summarized and discussed in this review article. Different in vivo and in vitro studies demonstrated that Resilon/Epiphany can be an alternative to gutta-percha and other sealers. However, other studies showed that there is still some room for improvement of the properties of the material in order to achieve quality three-dimensional obturation.
