Ultrasonics in endodontics: a review of the literature.

TL;DR: Since its introduction, US has become increasingly more useful in applications such as gaining access to canal openings, cleaning and shaping, obturation of root canals, removal of intracanal materials and obstructions, and endodontic surgery.

Sealers and Warm Gutta-percha Obturation Techniques

TL;DR: The Septodont sealer is recommended for obturations using cold laterally condensed gutta-percha, whereas MTA Fillapex and Apexit Plus were suitable with warm gutta -percha obturation techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI

Composition and physical properties of gutta-percha endodontic filling materials

TL;DR: The mechanical properties of five brands of gutta-percha endodontic filling materials were determined, and their chemical compositions were compared, and significant correlations were found to exist between some of these parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of a warm gutta-percha obturation technique and lateral condensation.

TL;DR: Gutta-percha using Thermafil was better able to flow into lateral spaces, had fewer voids, and replicated the surface of the root better, however, it also was extruded out the apical foramen more than in the lateral condensation group.

Crystallization of polymers

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a self-contained treatment of polymer crystallization, focusing on the thermodynamics and physical properties that accompany the morphological and structural changes that occur when a collection of molecules of very high molecular weight are transformed from one state to another.

Molecular structure and rubber-like elasticity I. The crystal structures of β gutta-percha, rubber and polychloroprene

TL;DR: In this article, the crystal structures of β gutta-percha, rubber and polychloroprene have been determined by interpretation of X-ray diffraction photographs, and they are asymmetric; all the molecules passing through any one crystal are identical, either left-handed or right-handed.
