Micro-CT evaluation of voids using two root filling techniques in the placement of MTA in mesial root canals of Vertucci type II configuration.

Objective: The present study aims to compare two mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) placement techniques, manual compaction and ultrasonic activation of manually compacted MTA, with warm vertical compaction (WVC) for orthograde obturation of mesial root canals of mandibular first molars showing Vertucci type II root canal configuration.

Materials And Methods: Thirty roots were selected according to their micro-CT scanned images. Root canals were chemomechanically prepared using Reciproc R25 and NaOCl using EndoVac.
