1. Prepare the canal mechanically using materials for chemo-mechanical preparation (Endo-Solution, Endo-Prep Cream), rinse copiously (Chloraxid) and dry the canal (for example Canal Clean) (picture 4)
2. Fill up the canal with creamy paste by means of Lentulo, remove excess of paste, close the cavity tightly.
