What is Carrier obturation?
Carrier-based obturation is the only filling technique that can simultaneously deliver and compact warm gutta-percha to the terminus of canals that have coronal or mid-root curvatures (Figure 10a). Once a canal has been dried, root canal sealer may be placed using the EndoActivator (EA) (Dentsply Sirona).
What is McSPADDEN technique?
McSPADDEN THERMOMECHANICAL COMPACTION METHOD This method used heat to decrease the gutta percha viscosity and increase its plasticity. The heat is created by rotating a compacting instrument in a slow speed contra angle handpiece at 8000-10,000 RPM alongside gutta percha cones inside the root canal.
What is continuous wave obturation technique?
The Continuous Wave of Condensation Technique Using the Guttasmart™ Cordless Obturation System. This technique allows a single tapered electric heat plugger to capture a wave of condensation at the orifice of a canal and ride it, without release, to the apical extent of downpacking in a single, continuous movement.
How do you use Thermafil?
The Thermafil technique was first introduced in the late 1980s, and the clinical studies have compared favourably to the Lateral Condensation technique. The greatest feature of Thermafil is that it is so quick and easy to learn.
What is master cone Endo?
Customized master cones represent a change in concept: rather than instrumenting the root canal to fit the shape of a round, industrial, master cone, a cone is prepared to fit the shape of the ready-to-fill canal.
What is gutta flow?
GuttaFlow is the first flowable, non-heated gutta-percha that does not shrink, but expands slightly. The slight expansion of the material leads to an excellent seal. GuttaFlow also shows excellent adhesion to the gutta-percha point (masterpoint) as well as to the dentine wall.
What is Thermafil?
Thermafil is a patented endodontic obturator consisting of a flexible central carrier that is uniformly coated with a layer of refined and tested “alpha phase” gutta-percha. Successful endodontic treatment begins with proper canal access, debridement, and cleansing and shaping.
Who invented Thermafil?
By using the marker as a guide, gutta-percha is gently repositioned on the carrier, and then the excess of gutta is removed with a scalpel until we have 1 mm or 1.5 mm of gutta exceeding the shortened carrier. A thermafil obturator was then created, individualized to the canal that has to be filled.
What is Endo recapitulation?
Recapitulation (Dentistry-Endodontics), Recapitulation is the sequential reentry and reuse of each previous instrument. Throughout the debriding or filing process, the root canal must be recapitulated. Recapitulation is a necessity for proper endodontic success.
