[Possibilities of root canal filling with gutta-percha. A critical investigation of different techniques].

Abstract

92 root canal fillings were performed using single guttapercha point with sealer (chloropercha) and lateral condensation of gutta-percha. Neither with single point nor with lateral condensation methods it is possible to achieve advantages in clinical or radiographic success. Nevertheless, the lateral condensation of gutta-percha is a suitable method for beginners to learn the complicated technique of root canal obturation.
