Gutta Percha Points

Gutta-percha is a rigid, tough, and thermoplastic natural polymer derived from the latex sap of tropical trees, primarily the Palaquium gutta tree native to Southeast Asia. Chemically classified as trans-polyisoprene, it shares an identical chemical formula with natural rubber but possesses a different spatial arrangement (isomer) that makes it less elastic and more rigid. Today, it serves as the universal gold standard material for filling and sealing root canals in modern dentistry
