The effect of root resection on the sealing property of root canal obturations
Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, and Oral Pathology
|September 1, 1980
Abstract:
Root canal systems of extracted anterior teeth were obturated with sealer and either multiple gutta-percha cones or single silver cones. The effect of root resection on the sealing property of these obturating materials was evaluated by autoradiographic methods. Results indicate that root resection with a rotary instrument in a high-speed handpiece does not adversely affect the sealing property of well-condensed gutta-percha-sealer obturations.
