title: A general dentist's viewpoint of two new endodontic techniques.
abstract: Over 3 years ago, two new endodontic techniques were developed. The first was a straightforward, comprehensive approach for root canal instrumentation. The second was a simple and predictable obturation system. The combination of these systems lead to impressive results that were easily attained. The instrumentation method uses existing armamentarium, allowing nearly any canal to be shaped to ideal form to precisely match a tapered gutta percha point. The root canal sealer technique incorporates controlled placement of a modified epoxy-resin cement that allows for a thoroughly sealed, single-cone root canal fill. The results rival other available systems. This article presents a stepwise guide to achieve stress-free, successful case results that general dentists and endodontists desire.
