Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the importance of cleaning, shaping and filling root canals in three dimensions by using the Warm Gutta-Percha Technique with Vertical Condensation, and this was presented with the help of the Scanning Electron Microscope.
Scanning Electron Microscope photographs were taken to show the following situations.
1.Root canals with the presence of debris.
2.Root canals with the presence of debris and Sodium Hypochlorite.
3.Root canals cleaned and irrigated with NaOCl--or a combination of NaOCl - H202.
4.Root canals cleaned, shaped and irrigated with a combination of NaOCl - H202.
5.Root canals cleaned, shaped, sanitized and filled with Warm Gutta-Percha and Vertical Condensation.
6.Cross sections of root canals filled in three dimensions will be observed to see the interface between dentinal wall, filling material (gutta-percha) and sealer (Kerr sealer).
These observations tend to confirm the technique which best fulfills the requirements of root canal preparation and obturation, the Warm Gutta-Percha Technique with Vertical Condensation, described by Schilder.
