Abstract	Endodontist should know about the fracture resistance of endodontic treated teeth in different obturation techniques to make a proper choice for obturation of mechano-chemically prepared root canals. Therefore, it is of interest to compare the fracture resistance of endodontically obturated teeth in five different obturation techniques namely single cone obturation (SCO), cold lateral compaction (CLC), cold free flow condensation, warm vertical compaction, injection molded thermo-plasticized technique. Among experimental categories, maximum fracture resistance was observed in cold free flow condensation technique while minimum fracture resistance was observed in injection molded thermo-plasticized technique. Cold free flow condensation technique using Gutta Flow2 has the potential to be used as obturation technique with minimum fracture resistance. Conventional techniques like CLC and SOC also offered good fracture resistance.
