Comparing two root canal techniques for pain and success
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two methods of filling a root canal after cleaning it: a traditional lateral condensation technique and a newer warm vertical obturation technique. The goal is to see which one causes less pain afterward and has a better success rate.
