title: Obturation of the root canal system: an online study guide.
abstract: The Editorial Board of the Journal of Endodontics has developed a literature-based study guide of topical areas related to endodontics. This study guide is intended to give the reader a focused review of the essential endodontic literature and does not cite all possible articles related to each topic. Although citing all articles would be comprehensive, it would defeat the idea of a study guide. Topics covered in this section are obturation materials, the hollow tube theory, termination of the fill, apical control of filling, and obturation techniques.
