Evaluation Of Obturation Quality In Round And Irregular Root Canals, Ahmed A. Madfa
Ahmed A. Madfa
Objective: This study compared the quality of root canal obturation in round and irregular-shaped canals at two cross-sectional levels by evaluating the canal area filled by two core materials using two obturation techniques. Methods: Single canals in 60 mandibular premolars were instrumented, irrigated and divided into four equal groups. They were root filled as follows: lateral compaction/RealSeal™ (LC/R), lateral compaction/gutta-percha (LC/GP), warm vertical compaction/RealSeal™ (WC/R) and warm vertical compaction/gutta-percha (WC/GP). The teeth were sectioned horizontally at 3 mm (L3) and 6 mm (L6) intervals from the obturated canal terminus. Shapes of canals in all cross-sections were examined using a Leica …
