INTRODUCTION<\/p>\n
The cone test is a necessary step in endodontic therapy. This is the connecting line between the conclusion of the shaping phase and the beginning of the root canal obturation phase. So, if this test gives good results, one can move on; alternatively, one must resume the previous phase. It\u2019s also necessary to know the quality and characteristics of the cone that will be used in the obturation. In this article, all the operations are listed, explained, and motivated individually, and all the necessary tips to complete them.
\nTest of the guttapercha cone is one of the essential steps to achieve a good three-dimensional obturation of the endodontic space. It is also a step to verify the accuracy of the previous steps. A good fit of the cone allows us to proceed immediately with the obturation of the canal. In contrast, if it is impossible to find a cone that fits the preparation made, it is good to consider the possibility that the shaping is inadequate and that it is necessary to improve it before making the root canal obturation (1, 2). This article aims to provide clinical suggestions to effectively and efficiently perform this phase of endodontic therapy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[3150],"tags":[3181,3180,3179],"affiliation":[],"contributor":[3014,3184,3186,3013,3019,3036,3185],"journalissue":[3152],"class_list":["post-23971","article","type-article","status-publish","hentry","category-ann-stomatol-2021-vol-11-september-december","tag-lateral-canals","tag-obturation-technique","tag-thermoplastic-guttapercha-injection","contributor-a-scarano","contributor-c-bugea","contributor-e-ronca","contributor-f-lorusso","contributor-f-tricca","contributor-g-falisi","contributor-i-alla","journalissue-ann-stomatol-2021-vol-11-september-december"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
