endodontic treatment, bacteria, canal cleaningAbstract
The success of endodontic treatment depends to a large extent on an effective obturation, which eliminates bacteria and guarantees a homogeneous and hermetic seal. Poor obturation favors bacterial proliferation, which can lead to treatment failure. In addition, the lack of an adequate protocol for cleaning the canal influences the results. This research analyzes the effectiveness of obturation techniques and their impact on endodontic prognosis. A qualitative review was performed on recent scientific bases. The findings indicate that both techniques present acceptable sealing, highlighting the thermoplasticized technique for its greater effectiveness in the apical third and less presence of voids.
