Lateral condensation with standardized gutta percha points in combination with a root-canal sealer is a commonly accepted technique. In this method, once the master gutta percha point has been fitted, the canal is ready to be filled using subsequent points: the spreader is placed as far as possible into the canal toward the apex, and it is spread from side to side to compress the gutta percha and sealer against the walls until there is no more room for additional points.

The primary goal of root canal therapy is to create an environment in which the root or roots of a tooth are maintained in a healthy periodontium.

This becomes more challenging when we are presented with teeth having calcified canals.
