Background:

  • Accurate selection of accessory cones is crucial for effective dental obturation.
  • Current methods for matching spreaders and cones may lack precision or convenience.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel technique for fabricating a dental reference block.
  • To enable precise selection of accessory cones corresponding to specific spreaders.

Main Methods:

  • The technique involves fabricating a reference block using readily available dental office materials.
  • The block serves as a guide for matching accessory cones to the spreader in use.

Main Results:

  • The described technique provides a reliable method for selecting the correct accessory cones.
