The purpose of the study is to assess the apical sealing ability of the endodontic space using two types of canal filling techniques: vertical compaction of warm gutta-percha and AhPlus sealer compared with Resilon and RealSeal SE. Two sets of extracted human teeth were prepared with rotary instruments, each 20 teeth being obturated by the two techniques: the classical and the adhesive root canal filling. The apical leakage of the root canal filling made with Resilon and RealSeal SE was higher than the one with gutta-percha and AhPlus. The difference was statistically significant.
