Obturation quality of bioceramic sealers with different obturation techniques: a micro-CT evaluation.

ABSTRACT: This micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) analysis in vitro study was designed to compare void volume in root canal fillings performed using the single-cone (SC) technique and the continuous wave condensation (CWC) technique with bioceramic (BC) sealer. Forty human-extracted, single-rooted mandibular premolars were cleaned, shaped, and divided into two groups (n = 20) based on the obturation technique. In the first group, obturation was performed using the CWC technique with TotalFill HiFlow BC sealer. In the second group, obturation was performed using the SC technique with the conventional TotalFill BC sealer. All roots were scanned with micro-CT, and ©CTAn software version 1.20.8.0 was used to measure the void volume of each root third in all samples. Despite the different obturation te
