Application and energy applying methods for root canal sealing material

An endodontic post for mounting in a root canal of a tooth comprising:

• an extended post having an apical end adapted to be bonded in the root canal with the apical end located adjacent a bottom of said root canal;
• a tangible sealing material aggregate being attached to the apical end of said post;
• and
• means to energize said sealing material aggregate sufficient to plasticize and cure said sealing material aggregate.

An endodontic post for placement in a root canal of a tooth comprising:

• an extended post having an apical end and a proximate end adapted to be bonded in the root canal with the apical end located adjacent a bottom of said root canal;
• a tangible sealing material aggregate being attached to the apical end of said post;
• a sealed package surrounding said post and sealing material aggregate in a pre preg semi-malleable state;
• and,
• means to cure said sealing material aggregate sufficient to cure said sealing material aggregate from said pre preg semi-malleable state to a cured state, said means comprising an energy provider.

An endodontic post for mounting in a root canal of a tooth comprising:

• an extended post having an apical end and a proximate end adapted to be bonded in the root canal with the apical end located adjacent a bottom of said root canal;
• a tangible sealing material aggregate being attached to said apical end of said post;
• and,
• a stop provided at said apical end of said post preventing said post from intruding beyond said apical end of said tooth canal into periapical tissues below the root canal.
