Background: The present study was conducted to compare adaptability of gutta percha and soft core material as obturating material. Materials & Methods: The present study was conducted on 40 mandibular molar teeth extracted due to periodontal pathology. Teeth were divided into 2 groups of 20 each. Group I teeth were obturated with gutta percha following lateral condensation technique and group II teeth were obturated with soft-core system with AH Plus sealer. Each root was sectioned at coronal, middle and apical third. Sectioning was done using Isomet saw under water coolant. The samples were observed under stereomicroscope at ×40 magnification.  Results: The mean percentage of area of voids at coronal third in group I was 1.18 and in group II was 2.30, at middle third in group I was 1.50 and in group II was 1.60 and at apical third in group I was 1.29 and in group II was 0.82. The difference was non- significant (P> 0.05). Conclusion: Authors found both materials equally effective in adaptability as a obturating material.
Key words: Gutta percha, Obturation, Soft core.
