Backfill
1. Position the tip of the warm cannula against the previously packed
filling material for 5 seconds.
2. Press the activation cuff on the Flow hand piece and dispense a small
(a few millimeters) segment of warm gutta-percha into this region of
the canal. Hold the hand piece lightly so it will back out of the canal
during use.
3. Select the smaller manual plugger and step its working end
circumferentially around the canal using short, firm strokes to clean the
canal walls and flatten the dispensed warm gutta-percha.
4. Use the same small manual plugger and press for five seconds to
three-dimensionally compact warm gutta-percha into this region of the
canal and to offset shrinkage during the cooling phase.
5. Position the tip of the warm cannula against the previously packed
filling material for five seconds.
6. Press the activation cuff on the Flow hand piece and dispense a few
more millimeters of warm gutta-percha into this region of the canal.
7. Select the medium size manual plugger and step its working end
circumferentially around the canal using short, firm strokes to clean the
canal walls and flatten the dispensed warm gutta-percha.
8. Use the same medium size manual plugger and press for five seconds
to three-dimensionally compact warm gutta-percha into this region of
the canal and to offset shrinkage during the cooling phase.
9. Continue the backfilling technique, in the manner described, until the
canal is completely filled or stop at any point to accommodate a post
to facilitate the restorative needs.
