Abstract
Summary. Sealapex was compared with two other root canal sealers for leakage in gutta‐percha filled extracted teeth using a silver stain technique. The extent of leakage in vitro in the root canal systems over a 30‐day period between the three root canal sealers was not statistically different. However, each sealer group leaked significantly less than the control group filled with gutta‐percha only. The results support previous findings that a sealer with gutta‐percha prevents apical leakage of the root canal system.Keywords
