Objective:To explore the clinical effect of heat gutta-percha vertical condensation in the treatment of pulpitis and periapical periodontitis. Methods:A total of 120 patients with pulpitis and periapical periodontitis who were admitted in our hospital from February, 2015 to February, 2016 were included in the study and randomized into the observation group and the control group. The patients in the observation group were given heat gutta-percha vertical condensation for root canal filling, while the patients in the control group were given cold gutta-percha lateral condensation root canal filling. The root canal filling was evaluated. The changes of GI, SBI, and PD before and after treatment were observed. Results:The correct filling, shorting filling, and extra filling in the observation group were significantly superior to those in the control group. After treatment, GI, SBI, and PD were significantly reduced, and the reduced degree in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group. Conclusions:Heat gutta-percha vertical condensation in the treatment of pulpitis and periapical periodontitis can significantly enhance the therapeutic effect, and improve GI, SBI, and PD, with a significant clinical effect;therefore, it deserves to be widely recommended.
