    Thermoplasticized gutta-percha, specifically the Ultrafil system, effectively fills root canals after apexification. X-ray check-ups confirmed successful canal obturation in all seven cases presented.

    Area of Science:

    • Endodontics
    • Dental materials science

    Context:

    • Apexification is a dental procedure to encourage root closure in immature teeth.
    • Root canal filling is a critical step following apexification to ensure long-term tooth survival.
    • Thermoplasticized gutta-percha offers potential advantages for root canal obturation.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the clinical efficacy of the Ultrafil system for root canal filling after apexification.
    • To present case studies demonstrating the use of thermoplasticized gutta-percha in endodontic treatment.

    Summary:

    • Seven cases of root canal filling post-apexification using the Ultrafil system were analyzed.
    • The Ultrafil system utilizes thermoplasticized gutta-percha for root canal obturation.
    • Radiographic (X-ray) examinations were performed to assess the quality of the fill in all cases.

    Impact:

    • The Ultrafil system demonstrates a viable method for achieving complete root canal obturation in treated teeth.
    • Successful root canal filling is essential for preventing periapical infections and preserving tooth function.
    • This study contributes to the understanding of thermoplasticized gutta-percha applications in specialized endodontic procedures.
