The main objectives of obturation are:
A successful obturation, combined with proper disinfection and coronal sealing, significantly improves the prognosis of root canal treatment.
Obturation should only be performed under ideal conditions:
Depending on the diagnosis and complexity, obturation can be performed in the same visit (typically in vital cases) or after interim dressing in multiple visits (usually in necrotic or infected cases).
Sealers fill the gaps between gutta-percha and the canal walls. Common types include:
• Bioactive material often used in apical plugs, perforation repairs, or obturation in open apex or immature teeth
• Excellent sealing ability and promotes healing
• Particularly indicated when conventional obturation is not feasible due to anatomical complexities or immature root development
A proper final irrigation protocol is essential before obturation. Residual EDTA, if not adequately flushed with saline or sterile water, can interfere with bioceramic-based sealers. A final rinse with CHX helps create an ideal surface for obturation.
Endodontic obturation is more than just filling the canal — it’s about sealing a complex anatomy to prevent reinfection and ensure biological healing. With advancements in sealer technology, matched taper systems, and thermoplastic techniques, clinicians can now achieve more predictable, long-lasting outcomes. Choosing the right materials and technique for each case is essential for clinical success.
