This survey was conducted to obtain answers to some basic questions regarding the
timing of root canal obturation. A questionnaire was sent via e-mail to 738 randomly
chosen United States endodontists listed in the 1998 to 1999 membership roster of
the American Association of Endodontists. One hundred fifty-six replies were received.
In pulpectomy cases, root canal obturation at the first visit was carried out by 55.8%
of the responding endodontists; in infected root canal cases, the percentage was 34.4%.
Of the responding endodontists, 34.2% indicated that their patients had experienced
some trouble after root canal obturation at the first visit.
