Abstract:Objective To analyze the relationship of two kinds of root canal filling method with the stress of root canal wall. Methods Cold gutta-percha lateral pressure method and warm gutta-percha vertical condensation method were used to fill the single root premolars. Use medical 3D image editing software to extract the gutta-percha morphology. Through a specific finite element analysis software, calculate the root canal wall stress and the stress position. And at 3,6 and 9 mm from the anatomical apix image analysis software was used to observe gutta-percha morphology and dentine cracks. Results Dentine cracks by cold gutta-percha lateral compression method were significantly more than those by warm gutta-percha vertical condensation method,and the stress of root canal wall was also higher than that of warm gutta-percha vertical condensation technique. Conclusion The root canal wall stress by cold gutta-percha lateral compression method is higher than that by warm gutta-percha vertical condensation method,and is likely to cause dentine cracks.
