title: An alternate endodontic approach to periapical pathosis.
abstract: In this article cases involving periapical radiolucencies, which were treated by orthograde amalgam root canal filling, are described. In the obturation phase, with a good condensation of amalgam, the lateral canals and the apical ramifications could be hermetically sealed. This obturation technique is applicable to both nonsurgical and surgical endodontics, saving time and effort.
