Radiographic Comparison of Obturation Performed by Conventional Method and Obtura II.

Root canal therapy plays an importanmt role in dental health care.An importanat parameter necessary to achieve a proper endodontic treatment is quality of root canal filling.This study compare the radiographic quality of obturation with cold lateral condensation and thermoplasticiszed gutta percha technique and obtura II system.

Inclusion Criteria:Single rooted teeth in which endodontic treatment was clinically indicated.Single rooted teeeth in which root canal treatment was recommended for elective reasons.Exclusion Criteria:• Teeth with severely curved roots.Sclerosed canals on periapical radiographs.Periodontally compromised teeth.Endodontic retreatment cases.Teeth with apical resorption.Teeth not salvageable by conventional root canal treatment.
