| Summary: | Objective:
This study compares the apical sealing ability of Apexit Plus, Diaproseal, and AH Plus when used with lateral compaction of gutta-percha.
Materials and Methods:
Forty-five extracted human teeth were divided into three groups (n = 15 each) and obturated with Apexit Plus, Diaproseal, and AH Plus. After root canal preparation, apical leakage was assessed using a dye penetration test, followed by longitudinal sectioning and microscopic evaluation.
Results:
There was no significant difference in apical dye leakage between the three groups. Group I (Apexit Plus) had a mean leakage of 0.502 mm, Group II (Diaproseal) had 0.499 mm, and Group III (AH Plus) had 0.504 mm (P = 0.987).
Conclusion:
All the groups demonstrated comparable apical sealing abilities, suggesting that each is an effective choice for root canal obturation. |
