Silver amalgam ist most frequently used. The filling of the root canail in the conventliionail way requires great concentration and skill of the surgeon, inisplite of which a constant danger of amalgam spilling into the operating area exists. To make it easlier we designed an instrument for the piurpose of a reverse filling of the root canal when using amalgam by means of an »amalgam pistol«.
