What is continuous wave obturation technique?
Continuous wave of condensation is an obturation technique that applies a heated “plugger” into a single custom fit greater tapered master cone of gutta-percha. The heat plugger is placed through the master cone to within 3-5mm of the predetermined working length.
What material is used for the obturation of a canal?
While other materials are available for obturating root canals, gutta percha is still the most widely used and accepted material. Gutta perch is biocompatible, inert material which does not irritate tissues.
What is crown down technique?
The Crown-Down technique involves the widening of the canal orifices with Gates-Glidden drills followed by the incremental removal of organic canal contents proceeding from the canal orifice to the apical portion using manual files. Files are used from larger to smaller with no apical pressure.
How do you do obturation?
Summary of the Root Canal Obturation Technique
- Dry the canals by inserting paper points cut to the root canal working length.
- Fit a standardized gutta-percha point to the established root canal working length, which is 1 mm short of the root canal length.
- Check the fit of the gutta-percha point in a radiograph.
What is obturation system?
The Elements Obturation Unit is a portable endodontic unit combining the System B heat source with a motorized extruder handpiece. It may be used for filling root canals using the “Continuous Wave of Condensation” or other warm gutta percha techniques.
What is step back technique?
step-back technique uses a combination of hand instruments (files) and rotary instruments (Gates- Glidden drills and Peeso reamers) to achieve adequate coronal flare before apical root canal preparation.
What is Rotary RCT?
Rotary Endodontics. Rotary endodontics employs electrically-powered instruments to perform the root canal treatment rather than traditional stainless-steel manual files. The electric hand tool is equipped with a tip constructed out of nickel titanium – a material that is five times more flexible than stainless steel.
What is single cone technique?
The single-cone technique comprises the use of a single gutta-percha point at environment temperature, with a variable cement thickness depending on the adaptation of the point to the root canal walls 2.
What is sealer obturation?
A sealer-based obturation with calcium silicate sealers could be a possible alternative to a continuous wave of condensation technique with a resin-based sealer. Sealer extrusion and postoperative pain negatively affect outcome of root canal treatment.
What is obturation pen?
‘OBTURATION PEN’ is a 2 in 1 machine which can cut and fill the gutta percha points into the treated root canal. Temperature can be up to 200°C. It is used to soften or cut off gutta percha points,and fill the root canal.
How do you use obturation gun?
Press heating button for about ls, and rapidly take out the gutta-percha 4-7mm away from the apical foramen. Use plugger to impact the gutta-percha in the root canal. Get the needle of Hot Melting and Filling Gun touch the surface of gutta-percha in the root canal, and stay there for 3s to soften the gutta-percha.
