Abstract

This in vitro study was performed to compare the sealing ability of different bioceramic sealers- CeraSeal, DiaRoot BC and BioCera BC and that of AH plus sealer (n=17/group), utilizing single-rooted mandibular premolars. The specimens underwent examination under a stereomicroscope (magnification x2-20) for evaluation of dye penetration. Thus, we show that Ceraseal BC exhibited the highest sealing potential, followed by AH Plus, DiaRoot and Biocera BC.
