Elongation and movement of the gutta-percha master cone during initial lateral condensation.
This study evaluated gutta-percha master cone elongation and apical movement during initial lateral condensation. A split natural tooth model was used. Measurements on photographs taken before and after initial spreading were made. The results showed that both elongation and total cone displacement occur.
