Resilon/ Epiphany system needs procedural accuracy as it's a technique sensitive system. Gutta-percha points showed better compactability than resilon using warm vertical condensation. (C-factor) defined as the ratio of bonded to unbonded surface areas of cavities, in a root canal is highly unfavourable and contributes to maximizing the polymerization stress of resin based materials along the root canal walls
