Gutta-percha is a natural latex-like substance derived from the sap of certain trees, primarily the Palaquium gutta tree found in Southeast Asia. It is primarily used in dentistry for root canal treatments, where it serves as a biocompatible material to fill the cleaned and shaped root canal space. Additionally, gutta-percha has applications in other fields, including insulation for underwater cables and as a material for various dental and orthopedic devices. Its durability and resistance to moisture make it a valuable material in these applications.
