Obturation of the root canal system.
With all the technology that has been introduced in endodontics, there are now several ways to instrument and obturate root canals. Practitioners often develop their own "hybrid" technique after sharing ideas with several colleagues. The purpose of this article is to describe a technique of obturation, hoping that others may incorporate some aspects into their own "hybrid" style.
