RadiologyLateral skull view does not clearly show the nasal septum due to superimposition of bilateral structures. While it shows medial wall and root of orbit, nasal bones, and calvarium with sinus roots, the nasal septum is better visualized in anteroposterior projections.

EndodonticsObtura II is a high heat obturation technique used in endodontics (root canal treatment) to fill and seal the root canal system of teeth. This technique involves the use of a thermoplasticized gutta-percha, which is heated to a high temperature and then compacted into the root canal with a heat source such as a heated plugger or a heated tip of a handpiece. The heat helps to soften the gutta-percha, allowing it to adapt to the irregularities of the root canal system and form a tight seal against bacterial microleakage. Thermofill and Ultrafill are not high heat techniques, while sectional filling is a method of filling the canal in increments, which may or may not involve heat.
