چکیده
The aim of this study was to evaluate the physical properties of EndoRez, Diaket, Epiphany, Roekoseal, Fibrefill, GuttaFlow, AHPlus, AH26 to that of a traditional zinc oxide based Kerr PCS sealers. Ten samples of each material were evaluated for flow, radiopacity, solubility and dimensional change tests according to ISO standards 20016876. The findings were statistically analyzed. Radiopacity and solubility of all sealers were in accordance with ISO standards 6876, except dimensional stability. However, all sealers had expansion values above the ISO requirements. Epiphany sealer showed the greatest expansion and the most flow rates under the given condition (p<0.05). AH26 sealer was found to be the most soluble sealer (p<0.05). Although AHPlus sealer was found to be the most radiopaque sealer, the difference was not significant between AHPlus and Roekoseal, Epiphany and Kerr PCS (p>0.05). According to the result of this study, all root canal sealers showed acceptable properties due to ISO standards except dimensional stability.

OBJECTIVES To compare the apical sealing ability of four root canal sealers. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty extracted human maxillary canines were instrumented 1 mm short of the anatomical apex and randomly assigned to four groups (n=10), according to the root canal sealer used for obturation: Endofill, AH Plus, EndoREZ and Epiphany. Root canals were obturated with gutta-percha points, except for...
