S12 Results The mean time to reach working length was significantly shorter for Guttacore than Thermafil (p<0.05). There was significantly more debris remaining in the apical third compared to the coronal and middle thirds in all groups (p <0.05). Conclusions The Guttacore system requires less time than other sealing systems to reach the working length using Protaper files during the retreat. However, it was the group obturated with Calamus system which presented less obturation material remaining.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
