Plain-English summary
Eighteen dogs underwent root canal therapy and received a filling made from a material called Ketac-Cem. After two years, only about 22% of these fillings needed to be replaced, indicating that the material held up well over time. This suggests that Ketac-Cem is a reliable option for filling after dental procedures in dogs. If your dog needs a root canal, you can discuss this filling material with your veterinarian for its durability.

Abstract
The aim of this study was the clinical evaluation of glass-ionomer material Ketac-Cem used after the root canal therapy as filling. The investigations were carried out in 18 dogs. The filling was evaluated according to Rydge's modified scale. The evaluations were done shortly after treatment and repeated after two years. The investigated material is frequently used in veterinary stomatology. Only 22.22% of fillings were qualified to replacement at the second evaluation.
