Achieving a true three-dimensional seal is one of the most technically demanding steps in root canal therapy — and one of the most consequential for long-term treatment success. This webinar gives general dentists a clear, reproducible framework for performing warm vertical obturation using the continuous wave technique, grounded in clinical evidence and real case application.

 

In this lecture, we will walk through the science behind thermoplasticized gutta-percha, the clinical rationale for selecting this technique over cold lateral compaction, and a step-by-step procedural workflow applicable across a range of canal anatomies. Cases are used throughout to illustrate key decision points, common technical errors, and real-time troubleshooting strategies.

Whether you're refining your existing obturation technique or making the transition from lateral condensation, this course delivers the procedural depth and clinical needed to perform warm vertical obturation with greater consistency and confidence.
