چکیده
introduction: gutta-percha, the concrete milky juice of the sapotaceae family tree, is the most commonly used material for obturation of prepared canal space. natural 1-4 trans stereochemical structure of gutta-percha is taken to a heating- inclusion process of various organic and inorganic elements by manufacturers. the purpose of this study is to detect the presence and percentage of inorganic filler elements and organic phase of various commercial brands and if the locally manufactured brand confonns to standard range of components. materials and methods: sample cones, size # 35, from roeko, hygienic, diadent and ariadent brands were randomly selected. after burning out in the furnace, organic and inorganic phase percentage and presence of trace elements in each sample were detected and recorded using apparatuses such as sem, xrf, tga, ir, nmr, and ion chromatography. results: with slight differences in polymer / filler ratio, 78% ± 2% for organic phase, no significant difference was recorded among these brands. sem analysis detected zinc, barium, and sulfur in hygienic, diadent, and ariadent in descending order; in the last two silicones was also traced, while zinc was the only element to be identified in roeko. conclusion: no significant chemical and structural differences among four commercial brands were detected.

متن کاملChemical composition and thermal behavior of five brands of thermoplasticized gutta-percha
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was determine the chemical composition and thermal behavior of Thermafil (TH), Microseal Cone (MC), Microseal Microflow (MF), Obtura (OB) and Obtura Flow (OF). In addition, their thermal behavior in response to temperature variations was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to determine the temperature at which gutta-percha switches from the beta to...
متن کاملThe thermomechanical properties of gutta-percha. I. The compressibility of gutta-percha.
Sample wafers of compounded dental gutta-percha and uncompounded dental-grade gutta-percha were compression tested to 20,000 pounds in uniaxial and triaxial systerns. Unrestrained flow in the uniaxial series prevented development of stress levels sufficient to produce molecular compression. Negligible molecular compression did occur in the triaxial series but only above a stress level of approx...
متن کاملShrinkage of backfill gutta-percha upon cooling.
INTRODUCTION The temperature and related shrinking kinetics of gutta-percha injected from heat guns are not known; therefore, we investigated them in this study. METHODS The temperatures of 3 different backfill gutta-percha brands extruded from 3 commercially available heat guns set to 200°C were studied. To validate the results, temperature development of 1 gutta-percha brand injected from a...
