A Comparative Evaluation of the Apical Dimensional Variability of ISO Size 30 Gutta-Percha Cones With 0.04 and 0.06 Tapers From Two Different Manufacturers

It was found that there was significant dimensional variability in gutta-percha cones resulting from manufacturing differences and taper variations in ISO size 30 cones. These inconsistencies can adversely affect apical sealing and treatment outcomes, emphasizing the need to consider them when choosing GP cones for clinical use.

Abstract

It was found that there was significant dimensional variability in gutta-percha cones resulting from manufacturing differences and taper variations in ISO size 30 cones. These inconsistencies can adversely affect apical sealing and treatment outcomes, emphasizing the need to consider them when choosing GP cones for clinical use.
