The Effect of Canal Dryness on the Quality of Obturation

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate root canal obturation quality. The questions to answer are

* what is the best protocol for canal dryness before obturation ? * Is compaction necessary ? Volunteer participants will perform root canal treatment in teeth planned for extraction due to orthodontic reasons
