Gutta-percha is the most widespread root canal filling material and knowledge of its chemical and thermomechanical properties is of a great interest to its use in clinical dentistry. In the present investigation, the results from differential scanning calorimeter were compared with those obtained by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis. A significant correlation was established between these results and the chemical composition of six different commercial samples of gutta-percha. |
