“…For this reason, 17% EDTA solution and 5% sodium hypochlorite were used to remove the smear layer and facilitate the penetration and adaptation of root canal filling materials in the previous study. 2,13 In this study, the Soft-Core group revealed the highest number of sections with voids, followed by GuttaFlow and laterally condensed gutta-percha. In Soft-Core, stripping of the gutta-percha from the solid core-carrier has been 14 This phenomenon will allow the carrier to be in direct contact with the canal walls, which results in more voids due to the poor adaptation of solid carrier to the irregularities in the dentinal wall.…”

Objective: The aim was to evaluate and compare the adaptability of the three obturation materials: gutta-percha, GuttaFlow, and Soft-Core to the root canal walls. Materials and methods:Totally 30 mandibular premolar teeth were selected. The teeth were standardized and prepared with ProTaper rotary files. The teeth were randomly and equally divided into three groups-gutta-percha group: obturated with gutta-percha and AH Plus sealer using lateral compaction technique; Soft-Core group: obturated using Soft-Core system; and GuttaFlow: obturated with GuttaFlow. The roots of the teeth were sectioned at three levels (apical, middle, and coronal) and were observed under a stereomicroscope at 40× magnification. Area of voids (AVs), frequency of voids, and location of the voids were analyzed using image analysis software. Results:The lowest mean of AV was obtained by GuttaFlow 1.25% ± 1.93, followed by gutta-percha 1.33% ± 2.16, and SoftCore 1.74% ± 2.23. Statistical analysis showed no significant difference among the three groups and the levels of the root. The frequency of voids in the coronal and the middle levels was more than the apical for all groups. The highest frequency of voids was detected in Soft-Core, followed by GuttaFlow and gutta-percha respectively. The voids were located in the interphase between sealer and obturation material as well as sealer and root canal walls in the gutta-percha and Soft-Core groups, whereas it was almost confined to the core for GuttaFlow group. Conclusion:GuttaFlow has a better adaptability to the walls compared with Soft-Core system and laterally compacted gutta-percha with AH Plus sealer.Clinical significance: GuttaFlow is an appropriate obturation material to enhance endodontic treatment.

“…1 Gutta-percha, until today, has been accepted as the most common material for root canal filling, as it is not toxic and will not irritate periapical tissues. 2,3 Guttapercha has a disadvantage of lack of bonding to canal dentin. 4 Therefore, it is usually combined with root sealer to fulfill the obturation objective.…”

“…82 Some investigations have revealed greater leakage of gutta-percha/AH26 compared to Resilon/Epiphany and gutta-percha/AH-plus. 75,83,84 Some other studies have shown that gutta-percha/Sealapex has more leakage than Resilon/Epiphany. 85 It has been reported that sealing ability of Real Seal is better than Termafill and One-step system.…”

“…There are just a handful of published literatures on long-term evaluations of Real Seal 4 . Studies have reported that the sealing ability of gutta percha / epiphany combinations is superior to that | Original Article of the gutta-percha / AH plus combinations [5][6][7] Failure of root-canal treatment can be attributed to a number of causes, but leakage through the root filling itself is thought to be a major factor. Strindberg, in 1956, considered that the most common cause of failure was leakage of tissue fluids apically around inadequate root fillings.…”

The primary goal is to attain a three dimensional seal, which would lead to an impervious seal. Obturation of the prepared root canal eliminates all avenues of leakage from the oral cavity and the periodontal tissues, sealing any residual irritants that remain within the root canal system after cleaning and shaping. Though the primary goal of obturation has been clearly defined there is still an ongoing research for a sealer and a core material that would provide an apical as well as coronal seal.
