Abstract:
This investigation quantitatively analyzed the apical seal in teeth in which one of three gutta-percha root canal-obturating techniques was used. The seal obtained with each technique was measured with dye penetration and spectrophotometric analysis. No statistically significant difference was found among the lateral condensation, sectional cone, and modified sectional cone techniques in their ability to produce an apical seal.
