The aim of this study was to clinically and radiographically examine the effects of extrusion of AH Plus sealer on the healing of permanent teeth with apical periodontitis. A total of 87 root canals radiographically detected with apical periodontitis were included in the study. Posttreatment radiographs indicated sealer extrusion into 49 canals ( Group 1) and no sealer extrusion into 38 canals ( Group 2). Periapical treatment was judged as complete healing ( CH), incomplete healing (IH) and no healing (NH) at the end of a 4-year follow-up period. Amounts of extraradicular sealer were recorded as "unchanged," " reduced," " almost absent," or "absent." The t test was used for the statistical analyses. In Group 1, CH was detected in 41 canals, IH in 4 canals, and NH in 4 canals. Differences between CH and both IH and NH were statistically significant ( P <.001). In Group 2, CH was detected in 34 canals and NH in 4 canals. The difference between CH and NH was statistically significant ( P <.001). A statistically significant difference ( P <.05) between treatment groups was observed for CH at the 6-month follow-up appointment only; other than that instance, there were no statistical differences for CH or NH between the groups. In conclusion, extruded AH Plus does not prevent periapical healing, but can be a delaying factor for healing in children.
