Questions and Answers

In endodontics, what does overfilling refer to?

  • Extrusion of filling material beyond the apical foramen without achieving apical seal
  • Total obturation of the root canal space with excess material beyond the apical foramen (correct)
  • Canals filled to the apical junction without coinciding with the cementodentinal junction
  • Incomplete filling of the canal space with voids left for recontamination
  • What is the purpose of the first dimensional seal in endodontic treatment?
