    Abstract:
    The present survey was conducted to obtain answers to some basic questions regarding the use of intracanal medications, root canal filling methods, and the intracanal breakage of instruments. A letter was sent to 300 endodontists listed in the 1995-1996 membership roster of the American Association of Endodontists. Eighty-five replies were received. Calcium hydroxide as an intracanal medication was used by 91.7% of the responding endodontists. With regard to the root canal filling technique, 52.9% used the lateral condensation method. When intracanal breakage occurred, 95.3% of the respondents informed the patient. The results of this survey provide useful information for the education of undergraduate dental students.
