Objectives of Obturation

• Create a complete seal of the entire root canal system by eliminating all avenues of leakage from the oral cavity or the periradicular tissues into the root canal system.

• To seal within the system any irritants that cannot be fully removed during canal cleaning and shaping procedures.

Completed C&S

• The canal system should be properly tapered in a continuous funnel shape allowing debridement, irrigation and obturation.

Completed C&S

Note your FWL.

*FWL is 1mm short of patency length.

Example:• FWL=23mm

Obturation

• The canal is obturated to Final Working Length.

• Obturation Length = FWL

Spreader Fit

• To check satisfactory apical cleaning and shaping before obturation.

• To see if there is enough room for compaction with the selected finger spreader. (size: medium fine MF)

• Set rubber stop 1-2mm short of FWL.

Spreader fit

• Fit within 1-2mm of FWL.

• If not, more shaping is required because apical size and taper is inadequate.

• Select Master Cone size that corresponds to your MAF size.

• Ex. MAF size 30

• MC size should also be size 30.

Master Cone is Long

• Cut the Gutta Percha tip to correct the discrepancy to avoid overextension.

2006 J.Bringas, DMD, DDS, MS

MC is short

• Reinsert MAF file.

• Sometimes, dentin filings prevents it from seating to FWL.

2006 J.Bringas, DMD, DDS, MS

Reshape

• Check to see if MAF goes to FWL.

• Go through hand filing procedure.

• Sometimes, repeating C&S with rotaries is necessary.

Page 43: Presented by: Josef Ma. Karlos S. Bringas, D.M.D., D.D.S., M.S. Department of Endodontics Obturation: Lateral Compaction

2006 J.Bringas, DMD, DDS, MS

Refit MC

• After filing with the MAF to FWL, the selected Master Cone should fit to proper FWL also.

Master Cone Fit

• The MC should have a definite apical resistance when MC is placed to FWL.

• The MC should exhibit “tugback” or resistance to removal.

• Take a radiograph at this time and evaluate fill.

• This confirms adequacy of the obturation.
