Defect correction in filling root canals with gutta-percha in classroom experience
A method of defect correction in filling root canals with gutta-percha has been worked out and approved. The method consists in softening the gutta-percha pins located in the root canal opening with eucalyptus oil after which the softened gutta-percha is condensed to root canal walls using the spreading machine, and the space formed in the canal is filled by gutta-percha pins. The method has a number of clinical and psychological advantages, making it possible to correct the defects of filling root canals and to increase the quality of student training.
