Summary
As part of root canal treatment, canals should be sealed to prevent further contaminations. There are multiple accepted techniques to fill-obturate canals. In the past, different obturation techniques have been compared. The most current technique used, a single cone with bioceramic sealer, has not been compared. This clinical investigation will compare the postoperative pain of this technique to another common technique used in our clinic. Postoperative pain after one-visit root-canal treatment on teeth with vital pulps: Comparison of three different obturation techniques.
