Comparing Warm and Cold Gutta-Percha Techniques for Root Canal Filling: An In Vitro Study
Background: Gutta-percha is commonly used in endodontic therapy for obturating root canals after cleaning and shaping procedures. Warm and cold gutta-percha techniques are two common methods employed for obturation, each with its own advantages and ...
