Cover Story: Furcal perforations are inconvenient procedural accidents that can create a pathological path between the root canal system and the periodontium. This can lead to an adverse scenario, with uncertain prognosis. The repair material needs to provide good filling ability by avoiding the development of gaps between the dentin walls and the material, and voids within the material content, minimizing bacterial microleakage. Calcium-silicate-based materials promote a tight seal and lead the regeneration of periodontal and bone tissues, becoming the standard choice to repair these accidents. Due to the lack of studies evaluating gaps and voids in cases of furcal perforation, this study evaluated the volume of gaps and voids of calcium-silicate based materials in simulated furcal perforations.
