Objective To observe the specific effect of hot gutta percha filling in root canal therapy for patients with pulp disease and periapical disease. Methods A total of 78 patients with endodontic and periapical diseases who were treated with root canal therapy in our hospital from February 2021 to April 2022 were enrolled in this study. Double blind method was used to divide them into control group (39 cases, conventional lateral pressure filling treatment) and observation group (39 cases, hot gutta percha filling treatment), and analyze the treatment effect. Results Compared with the two groups, the rate of proper filling, overfilling and underfilling in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). The incidence of complications in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). According to the statistics of filling time and postoperative pain of the two groups, the observation group was superior to the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion In the process of root canal therapy for patients with pulp disease and periapical disease, hot gutta percha filling can effectively guarantee the effect of filling therapy for these patients and reduce the incidence of complications.
