The apical sealing ability of a new root canal filling material

To assess the apical sealing property of a new root canal filling material, Epiphany. Methods: Seventy extracted maxillary and mandibular single-rooted teeth were used. They were randomly divided into three groups and obturated by lateral condensation with gutta-percha and AH 26/AH Plus sealers and Resilon core material and Epiphany sealer. Apical leakage was measured by the fluid-transport method. Results: The differences in leakage among gutta-percha with AH 26, gutta-percha with AH Plus, and Resilon with Epiphany were statistically significant (P< 0.05). The teeth filled with gutta-percha/AH 26 displayed the most apical leakage. There were no differences between the Resilon/Epiphany and gutta-percha/AH Plus groups (P> 0.05).
