The effect of storage temperature on mechanical properties of gutta-percha and resilon.

Objectives: To compare the mechanical properties of Resilon and gutta-percha cones after storing at three different temperatures.

Materials And Methods: One-hundred standardized size 40/02 gutta-percha cones and 100 Resilon cones were randomly divided into four groups. The first group of the materials were tested immediately after receipt as the control group.
