Obturation Techniques

The dental profession's most important goal is to maintain the health and integrity of patient's dentitions. Endodontic obturation of the radicular space, encompassing core filling materials and sealers, has undergone many slow changes over several decades. It is an important procedure for filling voids in the root canal of teeth as it helps in preventing the progression of infection, and recurrence of microbes. Dental clinicians must recognize that a particular method of obturation will not satisfy every single case that requires endodontic therapy. The obturation method selected whether a traditional method or a more contemporary one, must be consistent with the principles of clinical practice that is to provide the best treatment for patients. The advent of new devices and techniques such as those that utilize heat and vibration for warm lateral and warm vertical condensation are revolutionizing the practice of endodontics and making obturation procedures more predictable. The one who selects the appropriate root canal filling technique, so as to completely seal the root canal will be remembered throughout the patient's life through his competent work done on the patient tooth.

Je fais actuellement ma maîtrise en chirurgie dentaire en dentisterie conservatrice et endodontie à l'Adesh Institute of Dental Sciences and Research, Bathinda. Je dois tout à ma famille. Une chose que j'ai apprise, c'est qu'il faut toujours croire en soi et ne jamais se sous-estimer, car il n'y a rien dans ce monde que l'on ne puisse faire, il suffit d'être positif.
