An updated version of the vertical warm gutta-percha obturation technique is presented. Recent research suggests that the physical properties of gutta-percha may be altered by using heat carriers that are too hot or by overheating gutta-percha in a flame. The technique proposes a simple method of thermoplasticizing and delivering gutta-percha without overheating it.
