EVALUATION OF ROOT CANAL OBTURATION RESULTS WITH THE CANAL SHAPING SYSTEM WAVE ONE AND GUTTA THERMAFIL

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the results of root canal obturation with Wave One (WO) canal shaping system and Gutta Thermafil obturation system. Design: Nonrandomized prospective experimental trial between December 2020 and March 2021. Setting: Central Military Hospital 108. Subject: 30 lower incisors extracted teeth without stem rupture, without root damage such as fracture, stray, fissure. Results: The number of slices with the biggest gaps accounting for 16.7%. The number of slices with the smallest gaps accounting for 10%. The number of slices with gaps over the total slices accounted for 14.4%. The void area in the apical slice was 1,413 ± 519.5 µm2 and the largest void area was 38,654.2 ± 3,939.8 µm2. Conclusion: Thermafil Gutta Percha has a good fit to the canal wall, which can seal the canal more easily and accurately.
