Objectives Recently, Cold Ceramic (CC), which is a mineral trioxide aggregate-like bio-ceramic and an essential component of calcium hydroxide, has been introduced as a potential root-end filling material. The purpose of this case series was to investigate the reliability and potential periapical healing effects of CC as a root canal-filling material. Cases: In this study, six cases were described with complaints of pain and acute periapical abscess, who were managed in one visit using CC as a root canal filling material. After two weeks of follow up, they were clinically examined, which revealed no signs and symptoms in 12.33 months on average with a mean Periapical Index score of 1.33 (compared to initial mean score of 3). Conclusion: Root canal filling with cold ceramic introduces clinicians to an alternative treatment strategy that might improve the healing outcomes for patients presenting with complex and challenging endodontic conditions.
