The purpose of this study was to analysis on Component of three commercial brands of Gutta-percha used in Endodontics.
Material And Methods :Sample cones ,size #35,from roeko ,Hygienic ,Diadent brands were randomly selected, after burning out in furnace ,organic and inorganic phase percentage and presence of trace elements in each sample were detected and record using apparatuses such as SEM , IR,NMR, and Ion Chromatography.
Result : with slight differences in polymer /filer ratio ,78%+-2% for organic phase ,no significant difference was recorded among Sample ,SEM analysis detected Zinc , Barium and sulfur in Hygienic and diadent.
Conclusion: No significant chemical and structural differences among three commercial Brands were detected.
