Root Canal Obturation Techniques Explained by Salwa Aulia is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Obturation is the process of filling and sealing the root canal system. It aims to provide a fluid-tight seal to prevent reinfection from microorganisms. Common obturation techniques include lateral compaction, which involves compacting gutta-percha cones against the canal walls using a spreader, and warm vertical compaction, where gutta-percha is vertically compacted using heated pluggers. The choice of technique depends on factors like canal morphology and presence of periapical inflammation.
