Dental Filling Material Dental Gutta Percha Points

Gutta Percha Points are used in combination with sealers to obturate the root canal after root canal treatment.

Gutta-percha endodontic filling points were found to contain approximately 20% gutta-percha (matrix), 66% zinc oxide (filler), 11% heavy metal sulfates (radiopacifier), and 3% waxes and/or resins (plasticizer). The mechanical properties were indicative of a partially crystalline viscoelastic polymeric material.
