Questions and Answers
The warm lateral compaction technique strengthens the root by approximately 20 percent. 36 Custom Cones: Indicated when the apical foramen is open, or canal is large. This allows the adaptation of the cone to the canal walls, reduces the potential for extrusion of the core material, may improve the seal. It involves selection of a master cone and fitting the cone 2 to 4 mm short of the prepared length. Then it is removed, and its outer surface of the cone is softened in ________ for 1 to 2 seconds and inserted into the canal to obtain an impression of the canal.
