Aim: The aim of this study was to analyze the tip surface of gutta-percha after clipping it with various techniques.
Materials and Methods: A total of 45 standardized gutta-percha cone size 25 were used in this study. The gutta-percha cones were divided into three groups of 15 samples each according to the cutting methods. In group I- scissor, Group II- Scalpel blade against glass slab, Group III- Tipsnip were used to cut off the segments. After cutting, the tip surface is examined under stereomicroscope for topographic deformity.
Results: According to the results, significant deformities in the topographic surface of gutta-percha standardized cones were found with scissor and sharp surgical blade whereas Tipsnip allowed the formation of smooth gutta-percha cone surface.
Conclusions: Results of this study recommended that the Tipsnips were the best method to cut gutta-percha cones efficiently than scalpel blade and scissor.
