Abstract：Objective To systematically evaluate the effect of iRoot SP and AH Plus paste in the treatment of root canal.Methods Online databases including PubMed,EMBASE,the Cochrane Library,Web of Knowledge,and Chinese databases (Wanfang database,VIP and C NKI) were searched systematically up to February 2017.Randomized controlled trials and high-quality comparative studies were considered eligible for inclusion.Two qualified reviewers reviewed the original articles,evaluating qualities of articles,and extracting data independently.After heterogeneity test,Meta-analysis was performed.Results In total,seven original clinical controlled trials were included,containing 493 teeth.iRoot SP paste could improve the immediate root canal quality [OR=0.30,95％CI:(0.10 ～ 0.85)],reduce the rate of postoperative pain [OR=0.23,95％CI:(0.06 ～ 0.89)],and decrease the apical leakage [WMD=-0.13,95％CI:(-0.22 ～-0.05)].Conclusion iRoot SP paste in root canal therapy can significantly alleviate pain,and the long-term curative effect is good,has better biological compatibility,which is an ideal root canal filling material.Because of the small number of the literatures included,which are all in China,it is necessary to include large sample,multicenter,randomized,doubleblind,placebo-controlled trails to further confirm the clinical effect.
