EndodonticsWhen moderate extrusion of obturating material and sealer beyond the apex occurs, it is undesirable for several reasons. While it does not necessarily mean the prognosis is poor, there is a higher likelihood of postoperative discomfort due to the potential for chemical irritation of the periapical tissues. Additionally, if the sealer is not resorbed, it may cause a foreign body reaction, and gutta-percha extrusion can sometimes lead to severe periradicular reactions. The best approach in such a case is to obturate the remaining canal up to the point of obstruction and observe the patient's symptoms and healing response.

PeriodonticsHyaluronidase and chondroitinase are enzymes that play a role in the degradation of connective tissue components, including glycosaminoglycans in the periodontal tissues. These enzymes contribute to the breakdown of the extracellular matrix, which is significant in periodontal disease progression.
