Abstract :Purpose The aim of this study was to compare the short and long term apical sealing ability of different root canal sealers. Materials and methods Fifty-five extracted human anterior single-root teeth were used. The coronal part of each tooth was removed and the root canals were prepared with NiTi rotary instruments. Teeth were divided into 5 study groups; Group I: MTA Fillapex insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Angelus, Brazil);; Group II: Sealapex insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Sybron-Kerr, Romulus, MI, USA); and Group III: AH Plus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Dentsply, Konstanz, Germany); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=15); and negative and positive control groups insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=5);. The quality of root canal sealing was assessed by a fluid filtration method performed at 24 h and 180-day time intervals. Kruskal Wallis and Mann Whitney U tests were used to compare the groups. Results At 24 h evaluation, MTA Fillapex presented significantly less microleakage than the Sealapex and AH Plus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. At long term interval insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(180-day);, Sealapex and AH Plus presented significantly less microleakage than the MTA Fillapex insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. Conclusion Sealapex and AH Plus showed significantly better sealing abilities than MTA Fillapex in the long term.
