Sammanfattning

Bacteria that reach or persist in the root canal system may sustain a periapical inflammation. In this respect, the quality of the coronal restoration may be of equal or greater importance then the root filling material itself in preventing bacterial leakage. Materials for temporary use have received less attention than the ordinary root filling and permanent filling materials. In the literature, terms like provisional, temporary an interim have been used to describe these materials. Materials that traditionally have been used to temporarily seal the root canal system are glassionomer cements, zink oxide-based cements with or without eugenol and resin composite cements. Correct use, sufficient dimension or combination of different temporary materials may prevent leakage. This review highlights basic concepts and current temporary materials and their ability to prevent leakage during endodontic treatment.
