The use of two pluggers for the obturation of an uncommon C-shaped canal

N Walid. J Endod. 2000 Jul.

Abstract

The complex configuration of C-shaped canals in mandibular second molars make root canal treatment unusually difficult. The present case highlights their unpredictable canal anatomy and describes the use of two pluggers simultaneously to downpack the main canals. The effect of such a modification on the high-flow characteristics of thermosoftened gutta-percha in vertical condensation is discussed.
