Abstract

A successful root canal treatment is based on diagnosis, treatment planning, knowledge of tooth anatomy, and concepts of debridement, sterilization, and obturation. Several techniques of obturation are available for root canal treatment. The choice depends on the anatomy of the canal and unique objectives of treatment in each case. The two common obturation procedures are lateral compaction and warm vertical condensation.
