Abstract
This study compared endodontic overfills of N2 and gutta percha-Grossman's Sealer from a histopathological basis. The study employed four male rhesus monkeys and a sample of 31 teeth.
The most obvious difference between the samples filled with N2 and the gutta percha-Grossman's Sealer samples was the recurring presence of ankylosis in the N2-treated teeth. Results also included bone necrosis, inflammation and root and bone resorption.
The N2 samples were considered to have evidenced greater violence of reaction apically.
