RESUMO
To determine the sealing ability of the Thermafil technique with and without gutta percha on the plastic carrier, 40 maxillary incisors were divided into four treatment groups: (A) Thermafil with gutta percha on the carrier; (B) Thermafil without gutta percha on the carrier; (C) lateral condensation with standardize gutta percha; and (D) a single standardized gutta percha cone. Average leakage in groups A-D were 0.64 mm, 1.32 mm, 0.53 mm, and 0.72 mm, respectively. The only significant difference was between the Thermafil without gutta percha and the other three groups (p < 0.05).
