"I have found Thermafil to be a great aid in many cases where 'traditional' filling techniques have been difficult to use. Thermafil's ability to carry warm gutta percha to the apex of the tooth in a 'properly shaped canal' has performed beyond my expectations. Now that I use Thermafil regularly, I have noticed many lateral canals that I had not been seeing using other obturation methods."

I use DENTSPLY Tulsa Dental Specialties obturators because of the ability to fill all canal fins and canal irregularities. I believe it is the best material on the market today that fulfills the requirement of obtaining a dense three-dimensional fill. Many people fill with a single cone and sealer which does not move the obturating material into the fins and canal irregularities and does not really fulfill the requirements of three dimensional obturation. But the superb flow of the Thermafil material does meet this requirement."

"From a practical standpoint, it is the easiest way to put warm gutta percha and sealer to the apex. The fills are complete and beautiful in all dimensions. It does not get any easier. Similar to the change from handfiles to rotaries in 'how easy can this be.'"

'Cannot retreat, cannot create post space, too many failures!!!' ..... Sheer nonsense!! If need be, obturators can be removed for canal retreatment and post space can be created. I retreat far many more conventional fills than I retreat obturator fills.... It requires 4 seconds to obturate a canal, the results of which are quick and efficient with beautiful radiographic results. Obturation with DENTSPLY Tulsa Dental Specialties obturators takes the sweat and uncertainty out of sealing the canal system."

"There is no such thing as a single canal. The associated canal ramifications are extensive whereby a single cone obturation could never adequately seal all of the voids in a canal system. DENTSPLY Tulsa Dental Specialties obturators provide the perfect blend of the benefits of warm lateral and vertical obturation."
