Abstract
An updated version of the vertical warm gutta-percha obturation techni que is presented. Recent research suggests that the physical propertie s of gutta-percha may be altered by using heat carriers that are too h ot or by overheating gutta-percha in a flame. The technique proposes a simple method of thermoplasticizing and delivering gutta-percha witho ut overheating it.
