I have had the "Smooth operator (obturator… when you are doing endo)" song stuck in my head for far too long… hence the title of this post. (Thanks to Brady for inventing that song and getting it stuck in my head after singing it for 4 hrs in sim clinic.) Anyway, here are some pictures showing the obturation of my plastic endo tooth. (Click here to see how I cleaned this tooth out a few weeks ago.) I know I said I was going to show pictures of endo on real teeth, but to be honest it would be so boring. I don't have an x-ray camera so all of the pictures would look like the same. So, I showed my plastic tooth instead. A little less cool, but it does a much better job of showing the process of obturation…smooth obturation that is. Alright! Enjoy!
