title: A two-and-a-half year perspective on simplified endodontic techniques.
abstract: Simplified Endodontic Techniques (SET), along with EZ-Fill, a bidirectional spiral and epoxy root canal cement, have been used for more than 2 1/2 years. This particular sequence of instrumentation and obturation provides the dentist with predictable and easily attained success. Periapical areas demonstrate healing, and excess EZ-Fill cement is resorbing. Postoperatively, patients experience approximately 80% less pain in both occurrence and intensity. The adoption of SET, along with EZ-Fill, allows dentists to significantly increase their productivity while dramatically improving the quality of their work.
