Abstract

Objective: In this study, the capacity of gutta-percha, gutta Flow, and Soft-Core obturation materials to attach to root canal walls was tested for each of the three materials. Methods: A total of 30 mandibular premolar teeth were selected using the materials and methods listed below. The teeth were standardised with the use of ProTaper rotary files. It was decided to use three groups of gutta-percha with AH Plus sealer, one for each of the following: lateral compaction technique, Soft-Core system, and Guatta-Flo system. Using a stereomicroscope at a magnification of 40, these three levels of tooth roots were sectioned off and studied under a stereomicroscope at a magnification of 40. As a consequence of the application of image analysis, the area of voids (AVs) as well as the frequency of occurrence was determined. Results: Gutta Flow had the lowest mean AV, 1.17 percent, with a standard deviation of 0.50, followed by gutta-percha, which had a mean AV of 1.49 percent, with a standard deviation of 0.26, and Soft-Core, which had a mean AV of 1.83 percent, with a standard deviation of 0.71. There was no statistically significant difference between the three groups and their respective root levels, according to the results of the statistical study. Gutta-Flow and gutta-percha, which have the highest number of voids, are the next two materials on the list. Conclusion: Gutta Flow's capacity to adapt to the walls outperforms both the Soft-Core system and laterally compacted gutta-percha with AH Plus sealer in terms of flexibility. Gutta Flow is an excellent endodontic obturation substance that works well in a variety of situations.
