Example Sentences:

(2) There were some differences between all brands of gutta percha cones.
(3) Gutta-percha showed gross leakage in six out of eight tests.
(4) Forty-five extracted anterior teeth were obturated with gutta-percha, the apical 3 mm of the roots were resected, and 2-mm-deep retrograde preparations were prepared.
(5) Five teeth were filled with only gutta-percha points, fifty teeth were filled with a particular cement alone, and the rest of the teeth were filled with a particular cement in conjunction with gutta-percha points.
(6) Two obturation techniques were used with each sealer; the single gutta-percha point technique, and lateral condensation with multiple gutta-percha points.
(7) If the gutta-percha samples dissolved within 15 min, the times were recorded and statistically analyzed.
(8) Great chemical heterogeneity was found among gutta-percha cones of different origin as well as within the same brand between small and large sizes.
(9) A reentry of the canal is performed eliminating the old obturating material, biomechanical preparation and obturation with sealer and thermo gutta-percha.
(10) This study evaluated in vivo aspects of CPC and CPC mixtures compared to those of commercial hydroxyapatite (HP) and several endodontic materials: Grossman's cement (GC), calcium hydroxide-iodine paste (CHP) and gutta-percha plate (GP).

(12) At the 6.5 mm level, thermomechanical condensation differed only from the chloroform-softened gutta-percha (p < 0.01).
(13) An in vitro computerized temperature measurement system was developed to measure intracanal temperatures produced by different heated gutta-percha obturation techniques.
(14) An in vitro dye leakage study was performed to evaluate the sealing ability of the following retrofilling materials: high- and low-temperature injectable thermoplasticized gutta-percha with and without sealer, a glass ionomer cement, and amalgam with and without varnish.
(15) It was concluded that hard tissue formation was more pronounced after root filling with Sealapex than with calcium hydroxide or gutta-percha points.
(16) Microscopic evaluation of the specimens revealed that (1) the gutta-percha, Grossman's sealer, and polyethylene tubing are well tolerated by rat intraosseous tissue and (2) a canal overextended 2 mm.
(17) In the control group instrumented root canals were obturated with gutta-percha only.
(18) Extracted human premolars were prepared, and the following materials were introduced into the pulp cavities: Cavit, Durelon, Dycal, Fletcher's cement, IRM, AH26-silver free, gutta-percha, Duo Percha, Fuji ionomer, and zinc phosphate cement.
(19) Samples of four brands of gutta-percha and the nine ingredients that make up one brand were studied in vitro to observe their interaction with the serum complement system, thus allowing for assessment of their possible inflammatory potential.
(20) Groups of 10 female golden Syrian hamsters were implanted with uniform discs (6 mm in diameter and 1 mm thick) of white base-plate gutta percha (GP), gray welding-rod polyvinyl chloride (PVC), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), or test alloys, under Nembutal anesthesia.

Definition:
(a.) Charged or sprinkled with drops.
Example Sentences:
(1) So-and-so smells.” “So-and-so wears gutties [plimsolls] instead of shoes.” “So-and-so’s Bugsy.” With some encouragement from their neat, scrubbed peers, these remorseless critics would tease and bully the Bugsy kids.
