The adoption of local melodic formulas in the local Orthodox worship and their adaptation to the liturgical texts play an important didactic role in the new pastoral reality, in which a large number of believers no longer relate to the established hymnody in the same way as the Christians did at the beginning of the Church. In the new context, the archaic language and poetic imagery, together with their complex doctrinal and symbolic content, pose a challenge to the full understanding of Orthodox hymnody.

Globalisation is both a concept and a phenomenon that generates multidimensional research spaces, generally highlighting positive and negative horizons in today's thinking and society. In particular, its relationship with the Church reveals the need for a response and an approach that the world expects, consciously or not, from the Church, especially the Orthodox Church, because Orthodox Christian values are the pillars of communitarian and personal principles that can truly create a world whose identity is based on unity, which today is to be achieved in ways that are less sugar-coated under the veil of globalisation. Therefore, the relationship between the Church and the impact of the phenomenon of globalisation on the world and on man is the direction of research that we seek to explore in this study.

The aim of the study. This paper aims to analyze in vitro the imperviousness of the canal filling at the apical level in the case of the monoradicular teeth with external apical resorption, using various filling techniques. Materials and methodology. The study was made on 57 monoradicular extracted teeth with apical resorption. The root canals underwent different treatment according to the chosen filling method (step back with conical files 0.2% up to no. 80 ISO and with ProTaper manual files). Then, the teeth were divided into four groups, according to the chosen root canal filling technique (group I - classical monocon filling technique, group II - master cone filling, group III - lateral cold compactation, group IV - vertical compactation of warm Gutta Percha). After filling, the dye leakage test was made, for 36 hours, followed by the longitudinal section of the teeth undergoing the study. Results. There were no significant differences between the second and third group, but there were important distinctions between these two and the first group, on one hand, and the fourth group, on the other hand. Conclusions: One must not disregard the importance of choosing the right materials and the root canal filling techniques, according to the presence or absence of the apical pathology.
