Abstract
As soon as the biologic aims of chemomechanical debridement have been achieved the next main objective is obturation of the root canal system. This step should act as the culmination of all our efforts for a successful treatment. Through this webinar the participants will hopefully gain a thorough understanding of the role of obturation within root canal treatment and take home practical knowledge that will allow them to obtain full control of their treatment results. For every challenge presented to us by anatomy there are equivalent management strategies. Various techniques and practical tips will be discussed to cover both routine and more rare cases.
