Oburation: Trying to completely fill the canal space.
The complete filling and closing of a cleaned and shaped canal. Use sealer and gutta
percha.
What if we cleaned and shaped and left the canals empty? Bacteria and fluid will always
seep back into the space. You can never remove all of the bacteria, so there will be
recurrent decay.
Goal: to seal out fluid from entering the root canal system, and to seal in any irritants that
can not be romeved from the root canal system.
Difficult because a bacteria is 1um. And the diameter of dentinal tubules is .5 3um. So
there are going to be a lot of bacteria left in the tubules.
Goals:
Uniform (without voids)
Provide hydraulic pressure to move sealer into lateral canals
Avoid excess extrusion of sealer
Dont let gutta percha out the end.
Armamentarium sealer, gutta percha, and instruments. Thats all! We will only be
learning lateral condensation this year. Later we will learn some other techniques.
Ideal properties of materials:
Minimally irritant
No shrinkage
Provide a fluid-tight seal
Moldable
Bacteriostatic
Easily removed (some of the newer filling materials are harder and harder to get out, but
if you missed something or made a mistake, and you cant get it out, youve just
condemned the tooth).
Not stain tooth
Sealers:
Kerr ZOE
Roth ZOE we use this one.
Tubliseal - ZOE
Sealapex Ca(OH)2
Apexit Ca(OH)2
Ketac-Endo glass ionomer
AH26 resin
Endomethasone/N2 Paraformaldehyde
ISO (Standardized) tip diameter corresponds to file tip diameters. Minimal taper. Used
for master cones.
Non standardized they are lettered sizes. The tips are not measured they are brought
to a feather edge. Used for accessory cones.
Smear layer removal:
A surface film of debris retained on dentin after instrumentation with files; consists of
dentin particles, remnants of vital or necrotic pulp tissue, bacterial components, and
retained irrigation. 17% EDTA irrigation for 1 minute will remove the smear layer. If
you left it, the bacteria would effect the seal on the wall of the dentin. The lecture ppt has
a nice photo of the smear layer v. the smear layer absent. If the dentin is over-etched, the
dentin gets broken down.
Drying the canal:
Paper points they are tapered or numbered.
Alcohol irrigation.
Obturation techniques:
Lateral compaction
Chloroform dip
Warm vertical compaction
Thermoplastic injection
We will deal only with lateral compaction:
GP, D11 is a spreader, with lateral compaction, you are trying to squish the spreader
alongside the GP.
Steps:
Select the master cone (the first cone that goes in to length). Must match the apical
prep.To make sure youve got it to the right tip diameter, you can use a gutta gauge to
section off the excess end.
Depth. Aim to reach 1-2mm from working length.
Force. Be concerned about vertical root fracture.
Quality of apical seal directly related to depth of spreader penetration, and the best seal is
when spreader reaches to 1mm of working length. (results of a study: Allison DA, Weber
CR, Walton R: JOE 1981)
Goal: laterally smash the GP up against the wall. In the end, the whole mass of GP is
cold welded together.
Plugger v. Spreader:
Plugger is flat ended, spreader is tapered.
Q: when are you ready to obdurate?
A: When master GP cone is of the correct apical diameter, reaches working length, has
tug back (when you try to pull it out, there should be a bit of resistance shows that the
tip is well adapted to ensure that the GP cone will stay put) and no buckling, and THE
MOST IMPORTANT: that the spreader reaches to within 1-2mm of the working length
with master gutta percha cone in place.
Problem solving:
GP doesnt go to length
GP cone bucles at tip
Only a GP cone with a smaller apical diameter than the MAF will get to length.
Lateral spreader doesnt reach 1mm of WL
