WHY OBTURATE???
• Dr Herbert Schilder – first to publish classic article on filling root canal space in 3 dimensions
(DCNA 1967:723-44)
– Final objective of endo therapy: “total obturation of root canal space”
– “sealing of complex root canal system from periodontal bone ensures health of attachment apparatus against breakdown of endodontic origin”
Commentary on: Filling Root Canals in Three Dimensions Harold E. Goodis, DDS copyright © 2006 by the American Association of Endodontists. doi:10.1016/j.joen.2006.02.029

DEFINITION
![Page 4: Obturation Tech Final](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081416/5525b902550346586f8b4931/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• When obturation objectives are met, we help to produce an optimal environment for periradicular tissue healing and health, and thus for successful endodontic therapy.
These objectives are • Replicate ,• Seal ,• Control.
OBJECTIVES OF ENDODONTIC OBTURATION

RATIONALE FOR OBTURATION
• “Bacteria are the primary source of persistent periradicular inflammation and endodontic failure”
(Ingle & Bakland, 5 t h Ed)
Coronal seal
Lateral seal: Apical seal
![Page 6: Obturation Tech Final](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081416/5525b902550346586f8b4931/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
WHEN TO OBTURATE ??
• Tooth is asymptomatic, or very mildly symptomatic with definite, ongoing symptom resolution
• Canal preparation dries completely to its terminus
• Canal is relatively “free” of bacteria • No foul odor is noted upon canal system entry • Temporary restoration intact and uncompromised • No sinus tract is present (debatable) • No signs of active infection

Advantages• More rigid than silver cones• Inserted into canal with greater ease• Less susceptible to corrosion
Disadvantages• Cannot independently seal the root canal,
needs a cementing medium• Excess sealer collects in the flutes of the
instrument rather than being forced against canal walls
![Page 15: Obturation Tech Final](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081416/5525b902550346586f8b4931/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
DISADVANTAGES OF METAL CORE MATERIALS
• Require an absolutely circular canal preparation • Often bind in one or two places in the root canal
wall, giving a false sense of fit • Radiographically are deceptive because they give
a dense appearance to the root canal fill• Corrode when in contact with either
periradicular tissue fluids or oral fluids• Corrosion products are highly cytotoxic • Cannot obturate the canal system three
dimensionally - requires a sealer

![Page 35: Obturation Tech Final](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081416/5525b902550346586f8b4931/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Abstract• Tremendous progress has been made in the last
quarter of a century in understanding the nature of root canal system and obturation material. New techniques and materials are expected to increase the already high success of NITI rotary canal preparation. Adapted obturation is required for such cases.
• This article reviews the specificity of HEROfill system and how this procedure based on a plastic core coated with thermoplastic gutta-percha has evolved.
![Page 36: Obturation Tech Final](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081416/5525b902550346586f8b4931/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
• Recently herofill was introduced by MicroMega Corporation to replace classic gutta-percha.
• HEROfill system is a 3rd generation endodontic obturator which was developed to give the practitioner a fast and reliable means of obturating a root canal, and is based on the principle of a solid plastic core coated with thermoplastic gutta-percha.
• The enhancements created in this system comparatively to other similar generation such as THERMAFIL, QUICKFILL,
![Page 37: Obturation Tech Final](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081416/5525b902550346586f8b4931/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
ADVANTAGES• Detachable handle, that can be pre-bent up to
90° for a better angle in restricted access canals.• Adjustable working length.• Easy control by HEROfill® Verifiers.• No preheating of oven, short heating times.
Four obturators can be heated at the same time. In addition, we can save an obturator even heated if we decide not to use it.
• Hollow core in the coronal part of the carrier.• Natural GP free of any toxic components
![Page 38: Obturation Tech Final](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081416/5525b902550346586f8b4931/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
DISADVANTAGES
• Under preparation of the canal space could cause “stripping” of the gutta-percha from the carrier as it was forcefully placed in the canal.
• The result - basically a single cone - metal or plastic carrier obturation in the apical portion – is undesirable. So like Warm vertical compaction, this too was “technique-dependent”.
• Retreatment and surgical procedure difficult

CONCLUSION
• HEROfill obturation is considered among the fast, reliable and easy obturation methods. It can be used in the same situations as the lateral condensation; it is however preferred in many circumstances, such as with internal and root end resorption.
• Its main advantage is the ability to adapt the warmed and softened gutta-percha to the irregular root canal system
![Page 44: Obturation Tech Final](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081416/5525b902550346586f8b4931/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
• Lateral compaction and Obtura II®• Continuous wave of condensation
HYBRID OBTURATION TECHNIQUES (COMBINATION OF THERMO- AND
NON-THERMOPLASTICIZED)
![Page 45: Obturation Tech Final](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081416/5525b902550346586f8b4931/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
• A technique combining thermoplastic and non-thermoplastic GP is preferred over thermoplastics alone. This combines the best features of several techniques, including better apical control (than thermoplasticized alone) and better canal replication (than lateral compaction alone).
• Obtura II® is the most popular thermoplasticized GP system. The “hot glue gun” approach keeps GP molten for injection.
• Prefit proper applicator tip near the junction of the coronal and middle thirdsPrefit compactors to lengths required (using stops or instrument graduations)
![Page 46: Obturation Tech Final](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081416/5525b902550346586f8b4931/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Conti..
• Fit and select master cone• Use of sealer is essential• Insert master cone (laterally compact 1-2
accessory cones if necessary)• Sear off at 2-3 mm from canal terminus and
vertically compact.Passively inject Obtura II® GP
• Segmental addition • Compact each increment immediately
following injection
![Page 47: Obturation Tech Final](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081416/5525b902550346586f8b4931/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
CONTINUOUS WAVE OF CONDENSATION
• The non-standardized master cone is heat softened in place, using the System B® heat source and down-packed with a Buchanan plugger. Various sizes of heating tips and pluggers needed. The GP is alternately seared and down-packed, going deeper into the canal each time, until within 3-4 mm of the canal terminus. The middle and coronal canal space is backfilled with incremental Obtura II® injection and compaction.

Management of Open Apex Situations, including Master Apical Impression Technique
– Preparation of “tailor-made” gutta-percha roll.
A: Number of heated, coarse, gutta-percha points are arranged butt to tip, butt to tip on sterile glass.
B: Points are rolled with spatula into rod-shaped mass
C: By repeated heating and rolling, the roll of gutta-percha is formed to approximate size of canal to be filled. No voids should exist in mass.
D: Before trial point testing of tailor-made roll, gutta-percha should be chilled with ethyl chloride spray.

• During the cleaning and shaping procedures, alternating rinses of EDTA and sodium hypochlorite remove the smear layer and open the dental tubules for penetration of the resinous sealer. Because resins will not set in the presence of oxygen, the oxygenating agent sodium hypochlorite should not be the last irrigant before the resin sealer is introduced into the canal. The last irrigant should be EDTA, followed by sterile water or 2% chlorhexidine solution.

Ingle • The prominent endodontic textbook, Endodontics,
by John Side Ingle, Leif K. Bakland, states, "The Sargenti method has become a cult and, like most cults, is based more on testimonials than on facts.... [Dr.] Sargenti himself indicated a double standard of endodontic treatment when he publically stated 'If I had endodontic problems myself, and I wished to have an exact endodontic treatment, I would certainly ask Dr. Herbert Schilder to treat me'". Dr. Schlider was an expert on endodontic treatment and did not use Sargenti Paste.

Anaphylactic shock during endodontic treatment due to allergy to formaldehyde in a root canal sealant.
Abstract
A 41-yr-old patient experienced an anaphylactic shock reaction caused by formaldehyde in a root canal sealant during endodontic treatment. The clinical events, positive skin tests, and a high level of immunoglobin E to formalin RAST (class 4) suggest the involvement of immunoglobin E-dependent mechanisms toward formaldehyde. This very infrequent observation in endodontic therapy focuses attention on the different pathological manifestations related to formalin, their mechanisms, and the prevention possibilities in dentistry.

Called as “Russian Red” cement Used primarily in Eastern Europe, Russia,
China Consists of
– Formaldehyde / alcohol - liquid– Resorcinol - powder– Sodium hydroxide – catalyst– Zinc oxide / barium sulfate – radiopacifier
(optional)
RESORCINOL – FORMALDEHYDE (RF) RESIN THERAPY
![Page 114: Obturation Tech Final](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081416/5525b902550346586f8b4931/html5/thumbnails/114.jpg)
When 10% sodium hydroxide is added to the mixture, polymerization occurs
Forms a brick – hard red material that has no known solvent
Disadvantages– Retreatment is difficult– Contains 2 potentially toxic components
• Formaldehyde• Resorcinol
– Shrinks on setting– Resorcinol discolors tooth structure

Disadvantages Of Paste Fills
– Toxicity
– Porosities in paste fills
– Most pastes resorb in time resulting in leakage, percolation and strong possibility of ultimate endodontic failure
– Antigenic chemical components – causing immunologic response
– Apical control difficult

• Introduced by Mahmoud Torabinejad in 1993
at Loma Linda University
• Composed of:
– 75% Portland cement – 20% Bismuth oxide– 5% gypsum
• Mainly used for obturation of apical third– Open apex cases
MINERAL TRIOXIDE AGGREGATE (MTA)
![Page 119: Obturation Tech Final](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081416/5525b902550346586f8b4931/html5/thumbnails/119.jpg)
• Orthograde obturation with MTA as apexification material represents a contemporary version of the primary monoblock - attempt to reinforce immature tooth roots
![Page 120: Obturation Tech Final](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081416/5525b902550346586f8b4931/html5/thumbnails/120.jpg)
Advantages– Excellent sealing ability
(dye/fluid/bacterial/endotoxin leakage studies)– Good marginal adaptation– Extremely biocompatible
• Least cytotoxic• Cemento conductive• Osteo inductive
Disadvantages:– Poor handling characteristics– Long setting time – 3hrs or more
![Page 121: Obturation Tech Final](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081416/5525b902550346586f8b4931/html5/thumbnails/121.jpg)
1. Bondability:
Volumetric shrinkage of PC : 0.1% on setting– But MTA not bonded to
dentin – no shrinkage stresses at interface
• High bond strength of MTA (38-40 Mpa) in push-out bond strength tests despite no dentin bonding due to 2 reasons
JOE Vol 33(4) 2008)
MTA as Primary Monoblock:
![Page 122: Obturation Tech Final](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081416/5525b902550346586f8b4931/html5/thumbnails/122.jpg)
2. Root Reinforcement ability:
• Portland cement modulus of elasticity: • 1700MPa at early set• increases to around 30,000 Mpa
after 14 days (in w:p ratio of 0.33)
– Theoretically – MTA can reinforce roots
![Page 123: Obturation Tech Final](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081416/5525b902550346586f8b4931/html5/thumbnails/123.jpg)
• Fracture resistance of MTA treated immature sheep teeth tested
– no difference b/w saline & MTA groups
(Andreasen et al, Dent Traumatol 2006: 154-6)
• No benefit in root strengthening by MTA due to:
– Lack of dentin bonding– Low strength in tension
![Page 124: Obturation Tech Final](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081416/5525b902550346586f8b4931/html5/thumbnails/124.jpg)
• Sealing ability of orthograde MTA root canal filling against human saliva
– Both gray & white MTA – more resistant to human saliva leakage than vertically condensed GP/sealer
(JOE 2005; vol 31, no 6)
– Lamb et al - Minimum 3mm thickness for adequate sealing
– Thickness of MTA barrier - no significant difference in microleakage (dye penetration)

Mean sealer thickness at the gutta-percha core and canal wall interface at the 1, 3 and 5 mm levels for each of thefour obturation techniques.
![Page 135: Obturation Tech Final](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081416/5525b902550346586f8b4931/html5/thumbnails/135.jpg)
RESULTS• Thermafil demonstrated superior GP adaptation at all
levels with a mean overall sealer cement thickness , followed by lateral compaction , continuous wave and SimpliFill .
• SimpliFill also demonstrated the highest frequency of voids . Sealer cement penetrated dentinal tubules as far as the outer one-third of dentine, with greater penetration observed buccally or lingually.
• Penetration was not significantly affected by obturation technique, but on average was deeper and more frequent at the 3 and 5 mm levels than at the 1 mm level.

CONCLUSION
• Sealer thickness was strongly dependent on obturation technique. Assuming that minimal sealer thickness and fewer voids are good measures of long-term sealing ability, Thermafil resulted in the best outcome.

BEST ??
• It is quite possible that after 100 years, gutta-percha will suffer its demise as an endodontic filling material, as it did for golf balls. In its place we may well see modern chemical compounds as the obturating material of the future. Today, Resilon ,thermoplastic cones, soluble in chloroform but not in water. Pellets of Resilon may even be heated and expressed through an Obtura gun.
• In addition, the polyester points are sealed to place with a resin-based composite sealer, Epiphany or RealSeal.
• These sealers have the advantage of bonding chemically not only with the polyester cones but the dentin walls as well = monoblock that seals the canal and the tubuli.
Resilon – ephiphany system- striaght canals Thermoplastized techinique Curved or c or complex anotomy

CONCLUSION
Scope for further research and development remains ripe
Continuous efforts are being made to develop better sealer and core obturation materials & techniques but till date none of the materials & techniques have safely reached the highest biologic and technical level. There is no universally accepted ideal root canal filling material and technique.
