Background:A crucial aspect for achieving successful endodontic treatment is ensuring effective obturation.To compare the efficacy of root canal obturation techniques. Materials & Methods:A total of 20 participants were included in the study, divided into two groups, each comprising five samples. The first group, labeled Group I, received obturation using the warm vertical condensation technique, while the second group, labeled Group II, underwent obturation using the cold lateral condensation technique. Results:In Group I, the average gutta-percha filling percentage was calculated to be 98.49%, whereas in Group II, the corresponding figure was 93.24%. Conclusion:The warm vertical condensation technique results in fewer voids when compared to the cold lateral obturation technique.
