Background/objectives To investigate the ability of two root canal sealers in preventing residual bacteria in dentinal tubules from accessing the main root canal space. Materials and methods Thirty-five sterilized root samples were randomly assigned to 5 groups: Gutta percha+AH Plus sealer (AH Plus, n=10), Gutta percha+Zinc oxide eugenol sealer (ZOE, n=10), Gutta percha without sealer (GP, n=5), Flowable resin composite coating (composite, n=5), and noninfected samples+GP (aseptic control, n=5). All samples, except the aseptic control, were incubated with Enterococcus faecalis for 4 weeks. All canals were chemo-mechanically prepared and obturated according to the assigned groups. After 1 week, the filling …
