A Summary of the Current Research on Resilon “The Evaluation of Microbial Leakage in Roots Filled with a Thermoplastic Synthetic Polymer-Based Root Canal Filling Material (Resilon).” Shipper et al., JOE, Vol. 30(5), May 2004. Using a bacterial penetration protocol, the researchers found that Resilon/Epiphany(R/E) was more than 6 times more effective in preventing leakage to the apex. “Fracture Resistance of Roots Endodontically Treated with a New Resin Filling Material.” Thompson et al. JADA, Vol. 135, May, 2004. These researchers found that Resilon/Epiphany increased the fracture resistanc
