Evaluation of the Trifecta obturating technique

Dental Traumatology, 2000
Abstract – The aim of this project was to evaluate and compare the radiographic quality and sealability of root fillings in extracted human teeth using lateral condensation of gutta‐percha or the Trifecta obturating system. One hundred freshly extracted human mature, single‐rooted teeth were divided into four identical groups of 25 teeth on the basis ...

A simplified technique for fabricating a lightweight obturator

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1977
Polyurethane foam was used as a core material in the fabrication of a lightweight obturator. This is a time-saving method of achieving a meaningful reduction in the total weight of a prosthesis while increasing strength and facilitating repair.

Obturator hernia repair – a new technique

Hernia, 2002
Obturator hernia is a rare condition with few reports in the world literature. There appears to be no consensus on the ideal approach and repair for such a condition. We report a simple, quick technique via a lower midline incision using an autogenous peritoneal fold.

Gutta percha obturation techniques

Clinical Techniques in Small Animal Practice, 2001
T h e most common cause of endodontic failure has been ascribed to incomplete obturation. Filling a root canal is intended to prevent microorganisms and toxins in the canal, as well as those present in the oral cavity, from passing along the root canal and moving out into the periradicular tissues. Matsumiya and Kitamura both demonstrated that bacteria

A technique for the fabrication of the open obturator

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1983
Obturator prostheses are often large and heavy. As an alternative to a lighter hollow obturator, a technique for fabrication of the open obturator has been presented. Use of a removable silicone core facilitates processing, recovery, and polishing of an obturator that is open superiorly.

An evaluation of the Thermafil endodontic obturation technique

Journal of Endodontics, 1992
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the Thermafil endodontic obturation technique and to compare it with laterally condensed gutta-percha. Thirty-seven maxillary central incisors were similarly prepared and divided into groups. Seventeen were obturated with Thermafil and 17 with lateral condensation. Three served as controls.

Comparison of conventional root canal obturation techniques with thermafil obturators

Journal of Endodontics, 1992
This study compared microleakage of Thermafil Obturators to the single cone technique in Lexan blocks simulating root canals (n = 20) stained with Prussian blue dye. The microleakage of Thermafil and laterally condensed extracted human teeth was also investigated after the teeth were stained with India ink or Prussian blue dye over 1- or 2-wk dye ...
