The untrue statement about gutta-percha is that it is indicated in fine canals. Actually: 1) Gutta-percha IS compatible with post preparation, 2) It is NOT ideal for fine canals - silver points or paste fillers work better in very narrow canals, 3) Major composition includes gutta-percha (20%), zinc oxide (66%), waxes and resins, NOT zinc oxide eugenol, 4) It DOES shrink slightly after obturation due to cooling.
