Figure Legend:
Heat penetration from the canal surface to the soft tissue region is shown by the increasing temperature along the root-tissue interface with time. Temperatures are plotted along the root-tissue interface (the solid white line in Fig. ) from the apex to the crown. The maximum temperature is lower than the critical temperature of 47°C when the heating time is shorter than 26 s.
