Obturation System & Devices

Endodontic obturation of a root-canal system has the clinical purpose of filling empty spaces, promoting hermetic sealing, and preventing bacterial activity from penetrating the periapical tissues. Despite the fact that gutta-percha has been a consistent material utilised in canal obturation for the last 40 years, procedures and sealers have evolved. In the scientific literature, many procedures such as lateral compaction, heated vertical compaction, and carrier-based obturation have been published. The bioceramic sealer is the most recent trend in sealers. Bioceramic sealers have been reported to be nontoxic, hydrophilic, expand upon setting, and antibacterial.
