After irreversible pulpal pathosis, obturation of a root canal should result in a full closure from the coronal to the apical aspect, limiting the entrance of microorganisms and fluid and therefore eliminating the root system as a source of infection and inflammation to the apical periodontium. According to current studies, the goal of obturation is to achieve not only a fluid-tight but also an airtight closure of the root canal. For obturation, semi-solid filler materials like gutta-percha have been employed in combination with sealants for many years. Poor obturation, according to Dow and Ingle, is the root cause of endodontic treatment failure. Ingle and Beveridge (1961) found that incomplete root canal obliteration accounts for roughly 58.65 percent of root canal failures in a research done at the University of Washington on the success and failures in endodontics. As a result, several obturation procedures have been developed over time. Every approach has its own set of benefits and drawbacks. As a result, the obturation procedure differs from instance to case.
