Thermal Behavior Variations among Commercial Gutta-percha Brands: An Optical Thermography Study.

Thermal behavior of gutta-percha brands varied significantly, with implications for endodontic treatments. While differences were observed in heat transfer and maximum temperatures, all brands remained within safe temperature ranges for clinical use. Understanding these variations can aid clinicians in selecting appropriate gutta-percha for specific clinical scenarios, ultimately optimizing root canal obturation quality.
