Measurements of the root surface temperature during thermo‐mechanical root canal filling in vitro

Abstract
Summary. The temperature rise at the root surface during thermo‐mechanical root canal obturation was studied in vitro in 15 human teeth. The mean temperature elevation at a point 5 mm coronal to the apex was found to be 35°C. The impact of the results on the periodontal tissues during conditions in vivo are discussed.
