3D Fill: Mastering the modern techniques in endodontic obturation

Advancements in endodontics have introduced innovative obturation techniques that aim to improve the sealing ability, biocompatibility, and long-term success of root canal treatments.Traditional methods, such as lateral condensation, have been supplemented or replaced by contemporary approaches, including thermoplasticized gutta-percha, carrier-based systems, and bioceramic-based sealers.These newer techniques emphasize superior adaptability to canal morphology, reduced microleakage, and enhanced antimicrobial properties.This review highlights the principles, materials, and clinical outcomes associated with modern obturation techniques, emphasizing their role in achieving predictable and durable root canal therapy outcomes.
