Palaquium gutta. Gutta-percha is a tree of the genus Palaquium in the family Sapotaceae, which is primarily used to create a high-quality latex of the same name. The material is rigid, naturally biologically inert, resilient, electrically nonconductive, and thermoplastic, most commonly sourced from Palaquium gutta; it is a polymer of isoprene which forms a rubber-like elastomer.
Reels of gutta-percha insulated cable being loaded at the Greenwich works shortly after the merger into the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company. Gutta-percha insulated core rapidly became the chief product of the company. [21] In 1851–1852 they produced 1,300 nautical miles (2,400 km) of it.
It too has been synthesised and extracted from plant sap, the latter resin being known as gutta-percha. These were widely used as an electrical insulator and as components of golf balls . Annual worldwide production of synthetic polyisoprene was 13 million tons in 2007 [ 1 ] and 16 million tons in 2020.
After the endodontic procedure has been completed, and the root canal(s) is/are filled with the inert gutta percha root canal filling material, some gutta percha is removed from the canal space. Gutta percha can be removed mechanically (use of Gates Glidden), [9] thermally (use of System B Tip), [10] and chemically (use of chemical solvents ...
Filling of the cleaned and decontaminated canals is done with an inert filling such as gutta-percha and typically a zinc oxide eugenol-based cement. [3] Epoxy resin is employed to bind gutta-percha in some root canal procedures. [4] Another option is to use an antiseptic filling material containing paraformaldehyde like N2. [5]
The India Rubber, Gutta Percha and Telegraph Works Company was a London-based company based in Silvertown, East London.It was founded by Stephen William Silver in March 1864 as Silver's Indiarubber Works and Telegraph Cable Company Ltd. [1] However in July that year the name was changed to the India Rubber, Gutta Percha and Telegraph Works Company.
The seeds of Palaquium gutta are used to make soap and candles, occasionally in cooking. The latex is used to make gutta-percha . The timber is logged and traded as nyatoh .
Regarding uses in dentistry: The statement should say that gutta percha is used the fill the empty space "inside the root of the tooth," and not the empty apace of the tooth. Dr. Zalme, DDS —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.126.120.66 ( talk ) 12:34, 9 January 2010 (UTC) [ reply ]
