Both lateral condensation and vertical obturation methods offer viable approaches for utilizing this sealer, yielding comparable outcomes in the final treatment results. It's important to note that the vertical method may present a challenge in cases where some sealer could potentially pass beyond the apex, particularly in patients with wider apical foramens. However, due to the high viscosity of this sealer, the likelihood of such an occurrence is significantly reduced. Moreover, even if the apex is breached, this sealer boasts greater biocompatibility than traditional gutta-percha alternatives.
While the single-cone technique is generally not recommended, there are instances where no other viable option exists, and the sole recourse is the single-cone method. This is especially relevant in cases of intricate dental conditions or specific patient circumstances, where access is severely restricted. In these scenarios, the adhesive properties of this sealer, along with its ability to bond to dental tissue and gutta-percha, coupled with its expansion during the setting process, make single cone application feasible.
The inherent adhesion of this sealer to gutta-percha, achieved through both mechanical and chemical means, obviates the necessity for incorporating surface-modified materials. Consequently, any variety of gutta-percha can be seamlessly integrated into the procedure without the need for additional modifications.
