Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate root canal obturation quality. The questions to answer are
- what is the best protocol for canal dryness before obturation ?
- Is compaction necessary ? Volunteer participants will perform root canal treatment in teeth planned for extraction due to orthodontic reasons
