7. 1847: ASA HILL introduced Gutta Percha in the
form of “Hill’s Stopping”
Bleached gutta percha+ carbonate of lime & quartz
1883: PERRY –used gold wire wrapped with GP
RICHMOND used orange wood coated with gutta-percha
1887: SS White company first began to manufacture GP
1914: CALLAHAN: Used various metals for Obturation ……..
Silver was the most common.
1977 : Thermoplasticized Injectable Gutta-percha Obturation was introduced
8. In 1978, JOHNSON described a unique yet simple method of canal ,
obturation with Thermoplasticized alpha-phase
gutta-percha carried into the canal on an endodontic file.
A Totally new concept of heat softening and compacting gutta-percha was introduced
by MCSPADDEN in 1979.
GUTTA-PERCHA has been known to dentistry for over 100 years, and is by far the
most universally used solid-core root canal filling material.
9. Objectives of obturation
Total debridement, try to get a fluid tight seal
by total obliteration of canal space
• Stops coronal leakage
• Entombs surviving bacteria
• Stops influx of periapical tissues and release of bacterial elements .
The commonly used term “hermetic seal” is not accurate.
“Hermetic” is defined as “airtight by fusion or sealing.” Air is not
the problem at the periapex—fluid is the problem. “Impermeable”
is a more accurate term.
Fluid Impervious, Fluid Tight , Bacteria Tight Seal – appropriate to use .
10. Methods of obturation

Lateral
Vertical
Temperature of the gutta percha:

20. RESILON
Resilon is a polymer based thermoplastic resin containing
bioactive glass, bismuth oxychloride, barium sulphate and
additional radiopaque fillers
Resilon is a industrial polyurethane
Adapted for dental use .
21. The polymer has an improved flexural strength and, when used in conjunction
with a resin-based sealer, offers improved bonding potential compared with gutta-
percha.
Resilon is non mutagenic, non toxic , and biocompatible.
Sizes: ISO #15 - # 40,Cone tapers: S1, S2, S3.
Resilon is the central component of the Epiphany™ Soft Resin Endodontic
Obturation System (Pentron Clinical Technologies, LLC), and RealSeal™
(SybronEndo).
These systems include three primary components:
Resilon core material
Resin sealer
Primer
22. Primer.
The primer—a self-etch primer that contains
Sulfonic acid-terminated functional
monomer,
2- hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA),
water
Polymerization initiator.
HEMA enhances the bonding of resin to
dentin.
23. Sealer in an auto mixing barrel
syringe.
The Resin Sealer—a dual-curing, resin-based composite sealer.
The resin matrix is composed of
bisphenol-A-glycidyldimethacrylate (BisGMA)
ethoxylated BisGMA,
urethanedimethacrylate (UDMA) and
hydrophilic difunctional methacrylates.
It contains fillers of
calcium hydroxide, barium sulfate, barium glass, and silica
total filler content is approximately 70% by weight.
24. Obtura Gun.Resilon points Resilon Pellet
The Resilon core material a thermoplastic synthetic polymer-based root canal
core material :
bioactive glass, bismuth oxychloride and barium sulfate.
The filler content is approximately 65% by weight.
26. Because Resilon is a synthetic polymer, the resin sealer attaches to it, as
well as to the bonding agent/primer used to penetrate into the dentin
tubules.
As a result, a ‘monoblock’ is formed, consisting of filling material resin
sealer-bonding agent/primer-dentin.
Sealer used for resilon is called ‘Epiphany’ or ‘Real seal’
27. Technique :
Resilon can be softened with heat or dissolved with solvents such as chloroform
for retreatment purposes.
It is available as master cones and accessory cones in different sizes, and as
Resilon pellets.
Flushing the root canals :
with 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)
and/or 2% chlorhexidine removes this smear layer and
residual sodium hypochlorite
28. Advantages :
• Very less microleakage due to ‘Monobloc’ and also ‘Double Seal’
• Resilon is a bonded resin system, it has the potential to
strengthen the root.
• Resilon is highly radiopaque and handles well with both cold and
heated root canal filling techniques.
• Healing in a short period of time.
29. RealSeal is applied in the same way as gutta percha.
Use the obturation technique of your choice, adding only a
priming step before filling.
Has excellent handling, working time and flow characteristics.
RealSeal flows easily into the accessible lateral anatomy of the
root canal system.
RealSeal
EndoREZ
EndoREZ Points are unique, resin-coated gutta percha cones.
The resin coating bonds with EndoREZ during obturation resulting in
more complete "monoblock"-type seal.
EndoREZ Points can be used with all obturation techniques, including
warm GP and lateral condensation.
30. USING EPIPHANY WITH SYSTEM B
Set the temperature to 150°C. and the power to 10.
USING EPIPHANY WITH THE OBTURA GUN
• For the 25 gauge needle tips, set the temperature to 160°C.
• For the 23 gauge needle tips, set the temperature to 140°C.
• For the 20 gauge needle tips, set the temperature to 120-130°C.
31. The Fiberfill Obturator
-Resin and glass fiber post with a terminal gutta
percha tip.
-The gutta percha is available either in 5 or 8mm
lengths.
-The diameter of the post : 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 ,80.
apical gutta percha is retreatable,
-removal of the bonded fiber post has proven to be
difficult.
-resin-based system can actually increase the
strength of roots.
32. Each FibreFill obturator :
unidirectional fibers in an organic resin matrix.
gutta percha is attached via a thin, flexible filament
The FibreFill obturator bonded to the tooth,
The obturator not only fills the canal but also serves as a post
FibreFill Root Canal Sealant, provides a more effective apical and coronal seal
33. CANAL WARMED GUTTA PERCHA TECHNIQUE
SYSTEM B COMPACTION
• Also called continuous wave
compaction technique.
• Variation of warm vertical
compaction.
• Heating element is contained
within specifically designed
pluggers ( Buchanan pluggers),
• tips of which are 0.5 mm in
diameter.
• Pluggers are tapered and made
up of stainless steel and come in
sizes; 0.06,0.08, 0.10, 0.12.
34. Technique :
• Fit a standardized gutta percha cone in the root canal preparation.
• A Buchanan plugger is chosen that matches the taper of the selected
gutta percha cone and a rubber stopper is placed on the plugger 5 mm
short of WL.
• Buchanan plugger is fitted to its binding point in the canal. Stop is
adjusted and the plugger is removed.
• Canal is dried and the cone is cemented.
CANAL WARMED GUTTA PERCHA TECHNIQUE
35. • System B unit is set to 2000
c at touch mode and plugger is introduced
in the canal and activated to remove excess coronal material.
• Preheated plugger is driven smoothly through the GP until it stops.
Procedure is repeated until the plugger is within 0.5 – 1 mm of the
binding point.
• Apical pressure without heat is maintained for 10 seconds to take up
any shrinkage that might occur upon cooling.
• Since the Buchanan pluggers heat from their tips back, heat burst in
this portion can lead to coronal surplus of GP from the already
condensed mass.
• The canal is now ready for “obtura backfill”.

36. 1. MASTER CONE CEMENTATION.
The master cone is cemented in the canal with sealer.
2. INITIATION OF DOWN PACK

Advantages and Disadvantages
39. Lateral/Vertical Compaction of Warm Gutta-percha.
Considering the ease and speed of lateral compaction as well as the superior
density gained by vertical compaction of warm gutta-percha, Martin developed a
device that appears to achieve the best qualities of both techniques that was called
Endotec II (Medidenta Inc; Woodside, N.Y.)
Endotec II handpiece contains battery power pack.

41. Martin and Fischer have shown, in a photo elastic stress test, that “warm lateral
condensation (Endotec) created less stress during obturation than did cold lateral
condensation.”
Martin pointed out that the Schilder compaction method leads to 0.45% shrinkage,
and since Endotec temperatures are lower than with the other technique, shrinkage
following Endotec usage should be lower as well
CANAL WARMED GUTTA PERCHA TECHNIQUE
42. SECTIONAL COMPACTION
• Modifications of the vertical compaction.
• Known as the “Chicago” technique
since it was widely promoted by Coolidge,Blayney, and Lundquist, all
from Chicago.
CANAL WARMED GUTTA PERCHA TECHNIQUE
45. THERMOMECHANICAL COMPACTION
• By McSpadden in 1979. Initially called the ‘McSpadden Compactor’.

• This technique describes plasticity generated within GP by heat
developed during mechanical activity
46. • A well adapted master cone is
placed in the canal with a
suitable sealer.
• A mechanically activated
rotating compactor similar to
reverse Hedstroem file is
introduced in the canal which
heats up the GP and
thermoplasticizes it.

One other innovation using the thermo mechanical principle to compact gutta-percha in
the root canal has been introduced as the J.S. Quick-Fill (J.S. Dental Co., Sweden/USA).
This system consists of titanium core devices that come in ISO sizes 15 to 60, resemble
latch-type endodontic drills, coated with alpha-phase gutta-percha.
Thermo mechanical Solid-Core Gutta-percha Obturation.
J.S. Quick-Fill titanium carriers coated with alpha-phase gutta percha comes
in sizes and operates in regular slow-speed handpiece. Friction plasticizes
gutta-percha. Titanium core may be severed and left or removed while still
spinning.

Used only in the anterior mouth.
Moreno placed gutta-percha points to virtually fill the canal.
Insert the attached endodontic instrument into the mass,
activated the ultrasonic instrument -plasticized the gutta-percha by friction
Final vertical compaction could be done with hand or finger pluggers.
61. THERMOPLASTICIZED INJECTABLE GUTTA-PERCHA OBTURATION.
Introduced to the profession in 1977
Developed by a group at Harvard/Forsyth Institute,
Gutta-percha was ejected out of a prototype pressure syringe that had warmed it to
160°C. -- 18 gauge
Today marketed as the Obtura II Heated Gutta-Percha System
Digitally controlled temperatures --160°C to 200°C
Needle size -- 20 gauge (equal to a size 60 file)
23 gauge (equal to a size 40 file).
Although regular beta-phase gutta-percha is still used,
Now -less viscous, higher flow form of gutta-percha known as Easy Flow .
62. Obtura II: ( High Heat )
• was introduced by Yee et al in 1977
• Consists of hand held ‘gun’ that contains a chamber surrounded by
heating element into which pellets of GP are loaded.
• Silver needles are used to deliver the material into the canal.
• Control unit allows the adjustment of temperature and thus viscosity of
GP.
• Temp of GP from needle – 600
to 700
c
THERMOPLASTICIZED INJECTABLE GUTTA-PERCHA OBTURATION.
63. Technique :
• Canal is prepared, dried and the walls are coated with sealers.
• GP is preheated in the gun and the needle is positioned in the canal
so that it reaches within 3-5 mm of the apical preparation.
• GP is passively injected by squeezing the trigger of the gun.Needle backs out
of the canal as the apical portion is filled.
• Pluggers dipped in alcohol are used to compact the GP when it gets cooled.
• GP is heated at 160-2000

77. Efficacy of ThermaFil Obturation.
Weller et al. at Georgia used a split-tooth model to assess gutta-percha adaptation
using Obtura, three types of ThermaFil core carriers, and lateral compaction. No
root canal sealer was used. The best adaptation was with Obtura obturations,
followed by ThermaFil plastic, ThermaFil titanium, ThermaFil stainless steel, and
lateral compaction

87. APICAL THIRD FILLING
SimpliFill Obturation Technique
SimpliFill was originally developed by Senia at Light Speed Technology to
complement the canal shape created using Light Speed instruments.
The Apical GP Plug size is the same ISO size as the LightSpeed “Master
Apical Rotary” (MAR)
Apical third filling
88. •LIGHTSPEED's very short cutting blade provides more accurate
tactile feedback which helps determine when the canal has been
properly cleaned.
•LIGHTSPEED's taper less shaft gives it more flexibility than
others. This flexibility keeps it centered, virtually eliminating
ledging, zipping and perforating the canal.
•LIGHTSPEED instrumentation is conservative. It removes
sufficient dentin to clean and shape without over-enlarging the
canal and weakening the root. This approach reduces the risk of
future root fracture.

89.
SimpliFill is a relatively new
two-phased obturation method
use of a stainless steel carrier to place

96. MINERAL TRIOXIDE AGGREGATES
• It is used as an apical obturation material before complete obturation
of the canal.
• Following cleaning and shaping, canal is dried and MTA is placed.
• The material is compacted into the apical portion of the root to form
a barrier.
• After the material sets,GP can then be compacted without extrusion
Advantages :
• sterile, biocompatible
• Induces hard tissue formation at the apical region.
• Rapid, eliminating the need for numerous visits.
Apical third filling
98. NON INSTRUMENTATION TECHNIQUE OF OBTURATION
Fully automatic method:
• Mechanism of root canal preparation: Rapid pressure changes under partial
vaccum cause bubble formation which then implode (cavitations). This
process takes place at least 250 times per second and produces an intense
exchange of sodium hypochlorite within the canals.
• Strong tissue dissolving action of NaOCl removes pulp tissue within 10-15
minutes.
• Mechanism of root canal obturation: The device consists of a multistage
vaccum pump which when fitted to the tooth creates vaccum in prepared
canals. The root canal filling paste is then sucked in the canal.
• The pump contains a ball inside, which prevents air entry in the reservoir.
