[Clinically controlled study of success of lateral and thermo-mechanical Gutta-percha condensation].
76 root canal treated teeth were followed up within 2 years after treatment with the help of the periapical index PAI and the root canal filling index WKF-I. The root canals were obturated with gutta-percha and Sealer according to lateral or thermom chanical condensation. Treatment was successful in 26 of the lateral condensated and in 25 of the thermomechanical condensated cases. The thermomechanical condensation method represents an alternative method for filling root canals for those endodontists who are well practiced in this method and ensures a high success rate at exact indication positions. Intense practice on extracted teeth prior to clinical application is a strong prerequisite. The lateal condensation method is the root canal filling technique of choice for the general dental practice.
