introduction: various materials and methods have been recommended for successful root canal obturation. the aim of this experimental in vitro study was to compare the sealing ability of three root canal sealers ah-26, glass ionomer cement (gic) and zinc oxide eugenol (zoe) in single gutta-percha obturating system. methods and materials: seventy extracted single-rooted human teeth were decoronat...

This clinical trial focused on collating the instrumentation time and quality of root canal obturation in primary molars treated with three techniques: adaptive, rotary, manual. A triple-armed, randomized controlled was performed 75 requiring pulpectomy treatment, divided into groups (n = 25 per group). The teeth Group 1 were instrumented an adaptive technique (XP-endo Shaper, FKG Dentaire, La ...

The endodontic triad comprises of cleaning and shaping, disinfection and obturation. Success of root canal therapy is majorly achieved by proper cleaning and shaping. However, elimination of bacterial contaminants as well as necrotic debris of the canals requires the adjunctive use of irrigants. To achieve a satisfactory biological and mechanical preparation proper selection of endodontic instr...

Non surgical root canal treatment is carried out to salvage the teeth in oral cavity. Although the success rate is found to be ranging from 81-95%, for variety of reasons failure of root canal is still seen in day to day practice. This is a cross sectional study done in Nepali population to evaluate the causes for such failures. It was found that inadequate obturation (45%) was the major cause ...

The success of endodontic procedures depends on various factors like biomechanical preparation, disinfection or sterilization the pulp space, and at last but not least i.e. obturation canal for disinfection prepaired only instrumentation is abundant. use some other aids for this, intracanal irrigants are quite necessary essential for same. Keywords: Intracanal irrigants, Chlorhexidine, Sodium ...

The aim of this study was to compare the apical sealing ability of three different obturation techniques using an electrochemical evaluation and evaluating dye penetration. One hundred and thirty-two maxillary anterior teeth were randomly divided into six groups. There were 20 teeth in each group. The teeth were obturated as follows: Groups 1 and 4 with Thermafil, Groups 2 and 5 with System B, ...

INRODUCTION High-quality filling of root canals is one of indicators of successful endodontic treatment. However, poor-quality of the filling is still a common phenomenon in the work of general practitioners. Better training of dental students of modern odontology is possible solution of the problem. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of root canal filling performed by undergradu...

AIM To compare the average sealer cement film thickness and the extent and pattern of sealer penetration into dentinal tubules in association with four obturation techniques in curved root canals. METHODOLOGY Mesial canals of 44 extracted mandibular molars were randomly divided among the SimpliFill, continuous wave, Thermafil and 0.04 matched taper (master cones) lateral compaction obturation...

BACKGROUND Obtaining a correct working length is critical to the success of endodontic therapy. Different methods have been used to identify this crucial measurement. The Aim of this clinical study was to compare the effect of working length determination using apex locator alone or in combination with working length radiograph on the apical extent of root canal filling. METHODS A total numbe...
