Thermafil obturation: a literature review
Abstract
A review of the literature pertaining to the use of Thermafil Endodontic Obturators is presented in this article. Addressed are such concerns as apical microleakage, biocompatibility, coronal leakage, post space considerations, retreatment issues, surgical factors, and clinical evaluations of Thermafil; included are the authors' conclusions concerning its clinical use.
