The investigation of thermal behavior and temperature analysis of three types of contemporary gutta-percha points

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Background/purpose: The impact of thermal behavior on the clinical performance of gutta-percha points (GP) is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the thermal behavior of three different types of GP and their temperature changes (TC) in a simulated clinical environment. Materials and methods: < 0.05. Results: < 0.05) affected the apical temperature. Conclusion: The apical temperature elevation of the GP during WVC was minimal. Neither AF nor CF reached the moldable temperatures when the heat source was 3 mm away.
