Comparison of antimicrobial activity of traditional and new developed root sealers against pathogens related root canal

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: , and MATERIALS AND METHODS: The sealers were soaked in phosphate buffered saline to elute its compositions after and before setting, and the elutes were performed the antimicrobial assay. Also, X-ray fluorescence analysis was carried out to compare compositions of two calcium silicate-based sealers. RESULTS: than Endoseqeunce BC. CONCLUSION: Endoseal, which contains various types of oxide compounds, seems to be a suitable sealer for preventing bacterial infection in both treated and untreated root canals.
