Fig. 12.24 Obturation following root-end closure in an apically diverging canal. (a)
The widest gutta percha point that will reach the apical terminus of the canal is
warmed by passage of its tip through a flame. (b) Without delay, the point is
introduced to the canal (the canal is already lightly coated with sealer), and advanced
to adapt against the apical barrier. (c) Additional points are now packed around the
master point with cold or warm condensation until the canal is densely filled.
