OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to introduce modified continuous wave compaction (MCWC) technique and compare its obturation quality with that of lateral compaction (LC), warm vertical compaction (WVC) and continuous wave compaction techniques (CWC). The obturation time was also compared among the four techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-four single-rooted teeth with 0-5° root canal ...

Successes of endodontic treatment depend on cleaning and shaping of root canal and adequately obturate the prepared root canal space. 1-3 Obturation has historically been achieved with gutta percha and a sealer. The root canal system has many variations in anatomy such as irregularly shaped canals, lateral and accessory canals, anastomoses between canals and a variety of fins. All this leads to...

The American Association of Endodontists defines root canal obturation as the complete, three-dimensional obturation of the root of canal system, as close as possible to the cemento-dentinal junction without overor underfilling. Moreover, obturation should be carried out using a minimal amount of biocompatible sealer and the obturated canal should demonstrate a radiographically dense filling ex...

A split-tooth model with artificially created intracanal wall defects was used to compare three gutta-percha (GP) obturation techniques, cold lateral, warm lateral, and warm vertical. The techniques were evaluated and compared based on defect replication quality as a function of defect location and size. The obturations were evaluated on an ordinal scale, 0 to 4, based on how much each defect w...

INTRODUCTION Success of non-surgical root canal treatment is predicted by meticulous cleaning and shaping of the root canal system, three-dimensional obturation and a well-fitting "leakage-free" coronal restoration. The techniques of obturation that are available have their own relative position in the historical development of filling techniques. Over the years, pitfalls with one technique hav...

Background:One of the main reasons for extraction of endodontically treated teeth is vertical root fracture (VRF). Some factors such as root canal treatment are involved in vertical root fracture because of their potential to weaken the tooth structure. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of combining different obturation materials and rotary systems on the fr...

Objective: The goal of endodontic treatment is to eliminate bacteria and their products from the root canal. Bacteria are main etiological factors pulpal periapical diseases. Chemomechanical preparation administration canal medicaments cannot completely in system, especially Enterococcus faecalis, which have high resistancy, therefore, an ideal obturation material required. Adequate filling qua...

BACKGROUND The key to success of any root canal therapy is adequate obturation of the prepared root canal space. Root canal sealers are not dimensionally stable and might dissolve partially over a period of time. The objective of this in vitro study is to evaluate the push-out bond strength to intraradicular dentin of two endodontic obturation materials. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty extracted s...
