Drying root canals

While I was drying root canal yesterday for tooth number 4, I noticed a very important thing. Regardless of how copious you try to irrigate the canal with disinfectant, small tissue tags can still resist the force of irrigation.
Very important tip: always while you are drying the canal with paper points at your last step, put three or four paper points together into the canal until they fit tight, then twist them all together against the canal walls. This way, you mechanically remove any tiny small tag holding still on the inner walls.If you find any tags trapped on the paper points, repeat irrigation and drying, before filling the canal with GP.
