Abstract
Aim of the study: to examine the apical microleakage of three distinct endodontic sealers: One-fil, Sealapex and EssenSeal utilizing a dye penetration technique. Materials and methods: Thirty single-canal mandibular premolars were extracted from human for orthodontic purposes. The teeth were cleaned and the appropriate working length was measured. It was instrumented, and it was irrigated. The samples were separated into three categories according to the type of sealer that were obturated by it. These endodontic sealers are: One-fil (bioceramic sealer), Sealapex (calcium hydroxide sealer) and EssenSeal (zinc oxide eugenol sealer). Following the manufacturer's guidelines, the sealer was manipulated and applied. F3 (protaper system) gutta-percha was used to obturate all of the specimens. Obturated samples were sectioned, the apical microleakage was examined using the dye penetration technique, and microleakage was calculated with Kinovea software. The data was analyzed using a one-way ANOVA and post-hoc Tucky test. Results: The statistical analysis of the endodontic sealers in this study shows a statistical difference between the three types of root canal sealers (P < 0.05). Conclusions: This study found that the apical seal of a One-fil sealer was the most effective, followed by a Sealapex and then a EssenSeal sealer.
