MTA cement obturation. a White ProRoot powder is mixed with sterile water, and small increment was attached to an ISO #35 paper point held with a cotton plier. b A larger MTA increment was attached to an ISO #60 paper point while the paper point was bent to facilitate compacting MTA cement apically in posterior teeth. c Periapical radiograph of a two rooted premolar. One root canal was filled with gutta-percha and root canal sealer and the other root was filled with MTA cement as described in the methods section. d, e, f, g Micro-CT analysis to evaluate the obturation density of both techniques. Voids were difficult to detect in MTA obturation even at high scanning parameters
