Özet

The aim of this in vitro study was to analyze the ability of three materials to seal the root end effectively. Totally 80 extracted mandibular and maxillary single-rooted incisors were provided for this study. The samples were separated into four groups (Group 1: Ca(OH)2 , Group 2: MTA-Angelus, Group 3: ProRoot-MTA, Group 4: Control Group-No apical barrier). Materials were placed as 2 mm apical barriers. The root segments were obturated with sealer with gutta-percha and were covered with double- layered nail varnish up to apical 1 mm area. The apicals of all root segments were stored in methylene blue dye for 48 hours. Dye penetrations were measured using strereomicroscope. Fisher reality and chi-square test using for statistical analysis. According to microscopy results, there wasn’t any important differences between the groups. Based on the findings it can be concluded that both MTA-Angelus and ProRoot-MTA have nearly the same sealing ability when used in a one-apical barrier technique.
