2. Description of the Related Art A root canal filling material is a material for root canal cleaning and sealing of a root canal cavity formed in a root canal treatment to block an infection path from a root canal to a periodontal tissue. Therefore, the required property required for the root canal filling material is that it is well adapted to a complicated morphology and exhibits a tight sealing property. A typical conventional root canal filling material is a gutta-percha point.
It is a conical rubbery material consisting mainly of gutta-percha and zinc oxide. Insert multiple pieces of this into the root canal, and fill the root canal so tightly that it cannot be inserted any more.Then, cut off the part protruding outside the root canal with a heated instrument, press it, and press it with cement etc. to close it. The method (side pressure filling method) is most commonly used. However, in general, the shape of the root canal is complicated, and a gap is likely to occur between the gutta-percha point and the root canal wall, and sufficient sealing performance cannot be expected. As a method of improving such a defect, there is a method of using a paste-like material such as dental cement (gluing agent) in combination with the gutta-percha point, but the problem that the cement and the gutta-percha point are not well-known However, the current situation is that sufficient blocking performance has not been obtained.

Typical examples include zinc oxide, crushed quartz, wet silica, dry silica, carbon black, diatomaceous earth, glass fiber, alumina, magnesia, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, crushed polymer, and powdered polymer. . However, when used as a root canal filler, clinically, the root canal filler must have an X-ray contrast property, and therefore at least one of the fillers is preferably a heavy metal compound.

When the amount is less than 10 parts by weight, the strength of the composition becomes insufficient and the filling operation becomes difficult. On the other hand, when it exceeds 90 parts by weight, the composition becomes poor in elasticity, so that the water-absorption expansion effect of the highly water-absorbent resin is not sufficiently exhibited.

-10 parts by weight is preferred. When the amount is less than 0.1 part by weight, the water-swelling amount is small and the good sealing property cannot be exhibited. On the other hand, if the amount is more than 10 parts by weight, the amount of water absorption swelling is too large, which may give a feeling of pressure to the surrounding tissues, for example, the apical periodontal tissue, which is not preferable.
