Gutta percha is primarily used in dentistry for root canal treatments. After the infected pulp is removed from the tooth, the canal is cleaned and shaped, after which gutta percha is used to fill the space and seal it to prevent re-infection. It is inserted into the canal in a softened state and then compacted, often using heat or specialized instruments. Finally, a temporary or permanent restoration is placed over the tooth to complete the procedure.

What was the relationship between gutta percha and the first transatlantic telegraph cable?

What are the disadvantages of gutta percha in dentistry?
GUTTA PERCHA - semi-plastic, isomer of natural rubber (cis isomer). Harder, cannot be stretched reversibly. Polymeric cones of gutta percha with other constituents such as ZnO, barium sulphate, plasticisers and pigments are used. DISADVANTAGES OF GUTTA PERCHA; - micro voids - voids on insufficient packing - difficult to condense - may stick to instrument on condensing - turns brittle quickly after setting - unsuitable for use by itself - not flexible enough to take the shape of the root and completely seal by itself - needs a paste (sealer) - lacks resilience

How do you test gutta percha?
To test gutta-percha, you can assess its physical properties by examining its flexibility, elasticity, and resistance to deformation. It can be subjected to a heat test, where its behavior under varying temperatures is observed, as gutta-percha softens when heated. Additionally, you can evaluate its solubility in solvents like chloroform, which helps distinguish it from other materials. Finally, its radiopacity can be checked using X-ray imaging to confirm its suitability for dental applications.

Why has the tooth turned pink after root canal?
Your tooth should not be a color pink after a root canal! If the center of the tooth is a slight pink that could just be the (gutta percha) which is a rubber base material the dentist fills in the canal with, this take the space where the nerves use to be.. Gutta Percha color is pink... After a root canal and the gutta percha is packed in the canals, the dentist will then fill the center of your tooth with a white or silver filling. If you are not satified with the results simply ask you dentist to put a bit more white filling material on your tooth to hide color of material....most of the time dentist are ok doing that.
