Root canal obturation update: where do we stand today?

Authors: Zogheib C
Abstract
Root canal obturation is an essential stage of endodontic treatment aiming to seal the root canal and prevent future bacterial contamination/recontamination of the canal space. By hindering microleakage between root canal and periapical tissues, this procedure should also deprive any surviving microorganisms and toxic bacterial products from entering periapical tissues.
