Popis: Objective: The objective is to compare the vertical fracture resistance of teeth obturated with four different obturating techniques using universal testing machine (UTM). Materials and Methods: One hundred single-rooted mandibular premolars were instrumented with ProTaper Universal rotary files up to size F3. Samples were obturated using four different methods of obturation (Lateral compaction, continuous wave condensation (CWC), GuttaFlow 2, and GuttaCore). UTM was used for the evaluation of fracture resistance. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and student t- test. Results: The highest tolerated mean load, in the decreasing order, was observed with GuttaCore (346.3 ± 45.0), GuttaFlow 2 (211.0 ± 29.8), lateral compaction (169.8 ± 23.6), and continuous-wave condensation obturation (167.6 ± 19.3). Conclusion: The GuttaCore system showed superior fracture resistance when compared to GuttaFlow 2, continuous-wave condensation and lateral compaction obturation method.
