Obturation Systems

What are the various obturation techniques? 

The following the various techniques employed in obturation of the root canal:

• The lateral compaction technique is one of the most commonly employed obturation techniques.
• In this technique, a master cone that corresponds to the size of the final instrument used, is coated with a sealer, taken till working length, and compacted with spreaders.
• Accessory cones are used in a few instances to achieve a tight, impervious seal.

2. WARM VERTICAL COMPACTION: 

• In the vertical compaction technique, a master cone that corresponds to the final instrumentation size and length of the canal is used.
• It is fitted, coated with a root canal sealer, heated and compacted vertically
• It is filled till 3-4 mm of the apical segment of the root canal.
• The remaining portion of the root canal if back filled using warm gutta percha material

3. CONTINUOUS WAVE COMPACTION: 

• In this technique, the core material and sealer are filled using vertical compaction
• Devices such as the System B by SybronEndo are used to heat the apical portion of the gutta percha.
• The remaining portion of the root canal is backfilled using thermoplasticized gutta percha core material using injection devices such as the Obtura by Obtura Spartan.

4. WARM LATERAL CONDENSATION: 

• The master cone is inserted into the canal and heated with a warm spreader.
• It is then compacted laterally with spreaders and filled with accessory cones.
• Some devices use vibration in addition the warm spreader

5. INJECTION TECHNIQUES: 

• Preheated thermoplasticized, injectable root canal filling material such as gutta percha is injected directly into the canal
• Master cone is is not used in this technique but the sealer is placed before injection of the core material. Examples of devices used with this technique are Obtura by Obtura Spartan and Ultrafil by Coletene Whaledent.
• The other injection technique employed is with the use of a single master cone.

6. THERMOMECHANICAL: 

• The master cone is placed with the sealer into the root canal and engaged with a rotary instrument that warms, plasticizes and compacts the root canal filling material by means of friction

7. CARRIER BASED OBTURATION: 

• There are two types of carrier based techniques in the obturation of gutta percha namely, carrier-based thermoplasticized and carrier-based sectional.
• The former involves direct delivery of the warm gutta percha on a plastic carrier. Examples are the ThermaFil by Dentsply and Realseal 1 by Sybron
• The latter is a sized and fitted section of gutta percha along with the sealer, which is inserted into the apical 4mm of the root canal. The remaining portion is filled with thermoplasticized gutta percha.

8. OTHER OBTURATION TECHNIQUES: 

• The other obturation techniques available are chemoplasticized forms of gutta percha, custom cone obturation, obturation pastes and a usage of materials such as mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) to form the apical barrier.
