The wrong statement about obturation is that silver cones are recommended for canals in which posts are placed. Actually: 1) Silver cones ARE recommended for fine tortuous canals where gutta-percha placement is difficult, 2) McSpadden compactors DO operate at 6000-10,000 rpm, 3) Silver cones are NOT recommended for post preparation because they are difficult to remove and can corrode, 4) Gutta-percha is preferred for post cases as it can be easily sectioned and removed. Silver cones create problems during post preparation due to their metallic nature and removal difficulty.
