Obturation is a very important step of the root canal system in order to achieve a positive outcome of the therapy; as a matter of fact a high percentage of the endodontic failures are associated with incomplete root canal obturation. Warm gutta percha techniques are certainly the best techniques to achieve the obturation objectives and can be considered the “golden standard” techniques to get an high quality obturation. Lately, the introduction of the Bioceramic sealer changed the obturation scenario. Bioceramic sealers, as the CeraSeal, represent a real game changer; thanks to their properties it is possibile to rely on a sealer centered obturation, moving from warm to cold obturation techniques, getting an high quality obturation. In both cases, to carry out a proper obturation is really important that the clinician knows the technique and the characteristics and /or properties of the materials he is using, as sealer and obturation devices.
The aim of this workshop is first to analyze characteristics, benefits and limitation of the different
techniques in order to create a rationale for the selection of a specific obturation technique
according to the clinical situation. The second aim is to share with the attendees the clinical
experience of the speaker on Warm Gutta Percha techniques, analyzing details and sharing tips
on the proper use of the EQ-V system, never forgetting that nowadays the Single Cone – thanks to bioceramic sealer – has become a very interesting option when it comes to carry out high quality root canal obturation.
