Up to now, the gold standard of obturation has been the continuous wave compaction technique.1,2 However, this technique is difficult to perform and needs additional expensive equipment. Another option is a newly reinvented technique of single-point obturation with calcium silicate-based sealers (CSBSs).3 Their properties are well known. In general, these materials are biocompatible, non-toxic, non-shrinking and chemically stable within the biological environment.4–7 They also have the ability to form hydroxyapatite during the setting process and to create a bond between dentine and the filling material.3,4 However, there is a lack of articles on this technique, and research has focused on point-less obturation techniques with CSBSs.8
