GUTTA PERCHA
Channel: DENTISTRY ’N MORE
Date: 2021-06-16

Gutta-percha is a material used to fill a tooth after a root canal procedure. Gutta-percha, a plastic substance from a Malaysian tree called a percha tree, is used as a permanent filling in root canals. During the root canal procedure, the tooth's damaged area, known as the pulp, is removed, and the tooth's canals are cleaned out and disinfected before being filled and sealed. Gutta-percha is the thermoplastic filling material heated and compressed into the tooth's canal, then sealed with adhesive cement.

Pros and Cons
Pros
There's a common misconception that gutta-percha causes allergies due to its similarity to latex, but this idea is misguided. Gutta-percha is generally accepted as a very safe-to-use filling material.


Cons
Unfortunately, there are some disadvantages associated with gutta-percha.

Gutta-percha may not hold as strong with some restoration methods.
It can be more challenging to see vertical root fractures when your tooth has previously been filled with gutta-percha.
Talk with your dentist or endodontist for more information on how gutta-percha can affect your dental health.
