Dr Mehreen Rashid, Dr Amna Naveed, Dr Salsabeel Amjad

Introduction: The prognosis of root canal treatment (RCT) depends on many variables; amongst them is the technical quality of the root filling. During the last decade, endodontic therapy went through a fascinating development. Aims and objectives: The main objective of the study is to find the quality of root canal obturation in single rooted teeth by manual and rotary method. Material and method: This cross sectional study was conducted in Demontmorency College of Dentistry, Lahore during March 2018 to December 2018. The data was collected from 100 root canal patients. The root canal was done by manual and rotary method. Before starting the treatment, patients were informed about the procedure and informed consent was taken. The data was divided into two parts, one was those patients who done root canal by manual method and second was done by rotary method. Results: The data was collected from 100 root canal patients. There was no statistically significant difference among both techniques. Overall, the void percentages were similar (p>0.05) for all groups at the three evaluated sections (cervical, middle and apical). There was significantly more GP and lesser sealer (p<0.05) in the canals prepared with the mechanical method compared with the manual method at the 4 mm level. The ultrasonic method showed intermediate values. Conclusion: It is concluded that rotary method was much better as compared to manual method. Overall quality of obturation was better with rotary canal preparation technique as compared to manual canal preparation technique
