The lateral condensation technique is one of the most common methods of root canal obturation. In conventional obturation methods, the tug-back in the gutta-percha master cone is recommended in order to create and maintain the apical seal. Tug-back is the slight back-pull or resistance to dislodgement of the gutta-percha master cone that is felt when it is removed from the canal. If coming from the apical third, this tug-back would be an indication of a good fit. Although tug-back is necessary to obturate the root canal, in some cases, there are possibilities of errors to fit the gutta-percha master cone into the 1 to 3 mm end of the root canal. These include; (i) in apexification cases that have a large diameter at the end of the canal (Blunder Buss); (ii) in recently completed tooth apex (young teeth) the shape of the canal in the transverse plan is oval, so the fitting of gutta-percha master cone in the apical portion of the canal is only on two plan: (iii) despite canal preparation, there are some irregularities in the inner surface of the root. The gutta-percha master cone cannot fit into these irregularities.
