title: Report of a simplified endodontic technique.
abstract: Using a simplified step-back sequence, which consists of traditional .02 tapered stainless-steel hand reamers, the No. 2 peeso reamer, and four manual nickel-titanium instruments, a dentist can easily, safely, and economically create a continuously tapered canal shape. This article discusses the complete coating of canal walls with EZ-Fill epoxy-resin sealer, which is delivered with a bidirectional spiral; and total obturation with a single gutta percha point, which is matched closely to the tapered shape. The results of this system are compared with other techniques.
