title: Simplified obturation of tapered canal preparations.
abstract: Canals shaped to wider tapers, specifically .06 mm and .08 mm, have traditionally been associated with thermoplastic fills. However, the canals shaped to .06 mm and .08 mm tapers correlate very closely to the shape of fine-medium and medium gutta-percha points, respectively. Combining the placement of these single-point fills with the patented EZ-Fill bi-directional spiral for well-controlled placement of the EZ-Fill epoxy resin sealer gives the dentist the ability to simplify the obturation procedure with results that are at least equal to those achieved with lateral condensation and thermoplastic techniques.
