Materials & Methods: Twenty participants were recruited for the study, with each of the two obturation methods applied to ten individuals. Following obturation, radiographs were taken for evaluation, and the filling of the canals was assessed using the Chi-squared test. The obtained results were analyzed utilizing SPSS software. Results: In Group I, the average percentage of gutta-percha filling was 99.20%, whereas in Group II, it was 92.85%. Conclusion: The warm vertical condensation technique exhibits fewer voids and greater adaptation in comparison to the cold lateral obturation technique.
