Abstract

Objective: To compare the effects of continuous wave hot gutta-percha vertical root canal filling and root canal cold lateral pressure filling in the treatment of dental pulp diseases. Methods: 80 patients with endodontic diseases were included as research samples, and the treatment time of patients ranged from June 2023 to June 2025. Patients were divided into Group A (40 cases) and Group B (40 cases) according to different treatment methods. Group A was treated with hot gutta-percha continuous wave vertical root canal filling, while Group B was treated with cold lateral pressure root canal filling. The filling operation time, filling effect, and gingival index were compared between the two groups. Results: The filling operation time in Group A was shorter than that in Group B (P < 0.05). The filling rate in Group A was higher than that in Group B (P < 0.05). Before treatment, the gingival index scores of the two groups were compared (P > 0.05). After treatment, the gingival index score of Group A was lower than that of Group B (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Compared with root canal cold lateral pressure filling therapy, continuous wave hot gutta-percha plus root canal filling is more effective in the treatment of dental pulp diseases, which can not only shorten the filling operation time, but also improve the filling effect and the gingival index.
