Prevention of re-infection is the purpose of endodontic obturation. And over the years a number of materials and techniques have been used in the attempt. Some have proven more successful than others in how well they seal. But the steps required can be daunting. Dr. Mike Nimmich is an endodontist who has tried a number of techniques over the course of his long and varied career. In this presentation Dr. Nimmich will review the requirements for an acceptable obturation technique and the materials to be employed. He’ll also demonstrate how a core carrier technique utilizing a novel configuration of gutta-percha can meet the well-established procedural goals as well as current clinical needs in a variety of situations.

Learning Objectives:

Discuss the impact that coronal and apical leakage can have on a cleaned canal space and why a quality obturation is desired.
Discuss the deficiencies inherent in a cold gutta-percha technique when compared to a technique designed around delivering warm gutta-percha.
Discuss the key steps in placing a carrier-based obturation
