EndodonticsIn post core preparation, the sectional gutta-percha technique is used. This technique involves: 1) Removing the coronal portion of gutta-percha for post space preparation, 2) Leaving the apical portion intact to maintain apical seal, 3) The gutta-percha is sectioned at a predetermined level (usually leaving 4-5mm apically), 4) Heat or solvents are used to remove only the coronal portion, 5) This maintains the apical seal while allowing post placement. Thermoplasticized and vertical techniques make removal more difficult, while lateral condensation can be sectioned but is not specifically designed for post preparation.
