The sealability with either vertical or lateral condensation techniques depends on the shape of the prepared canal. This is correct because: 1) Round, tapered canals are ideal for both techniques, 2) Oval or irregular canals may be better filled with vertical condensation, 3) Lateral condensation works best in canals with proper taper and resistance form, 4) Vertical condensation can adapt better to canal irregularities, 5) Neither technique is universally superior - success depends on canal anatomy and operator skill. Proper canal preparation is more important than the specific obturation technique chosen.
