Abstract

Objective The present study aims to compare two mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) placement techniques, manual compaction and ultrasonic activation of manually compacted MTA, with warm vertical compaction (WVC) for orthograde obturation of mesial root canals of mandibular first molars showing Vertucci type II root canal configuration.
