Root canals obturated by one of five methods were compared with respect to protection against dye penetration. A conventional lateral condensation technique using AH26 as sealer, while not significantly different from a technique employing a dentinal bonding agent (GLUMA) provided greatest protection. The use of dentinal bonding agents in conjunction with a suitable resin sealer and lateral condensation could result in a less permeable obturation.
