Objective: The present study evaluated the displacement of calcium hydroxide apical plugs in the root canals of teeth with enlarged apical foramens subjected to three filling techniques: lateral condensation, a hybrid method, and a thermoplastic technique (Ultrafil). Methods: The root canals of 30 extracted single-rooted human teeth were drilled in reverse order with no. 1-5 Gates-Glidden drills using a crown-down technique until the no. 1 drill passed through the apical foramen. The specimens were prepared with K files, beginning with a 50 K file and progressing until a 90 K file was visible 1 mm beyond the apex. Apical plugs were fabricated from calcium hydroxide paste, and the specimens were stored at 37°C at 100% humidity for 3 days. They were allocated into three exper.. View More»
