Abstract

Root canal treatment (RCT) is repairing and saving the badly decayed or infected tooth. Endodontic means treating tooth from inside and Obturation is a process of complete filling and sealing of 3D root canal space with gutta percha as biocompatible sealing material against bacterial growth. The main cause of Endodontic treatment failure is the incomplete sealing of the root canal. The degree of endodontic success depends to greater extent on mechanical sealing of root canal cavity with gutta percha. One of the means to quantify measures for evaluating Root canal success is to get compaction loading pattern during Obturation and corresponding Radio-visio-graph. Current paper discusses a brief review and automation used in the Obturation process to extract experimentally the compaction load pattern on C2 curvature tooth.
