To evaluate and compare the influence of various accelerators, 15% disodium hydrogen phosphate (Na2HPO4), 10% calcium chloride (CaCl2) and 23.1 wt% calcium lactate gluconate (CLG), on the immediate (after 72 h) and delayed (after 2 months) sealing ability of white ProRoot mineral trioxide aggregate (WMTA) when it is used as an apical plug.
