Abstract :

 In Endodontics, the success of root canal therapy mainly depend on achieving a compact fluid tight seal of the apical end of the root canal, so as to prevent the ingress and accumulation of irritants causing biological eakdown of attachment apparatus leading to failure. Root canal sealers along with solid core material play a major role in achieving the fluid tight seal. Although gutta‑percha has been the standard obturating material, is not able to achieve an impervious seal along the dentinal walls of the root canal. Gutta‑percha does not form a monoblock even with the use of a resin‑based sealers such as AH Plus because the sealer does not bind to gutta‑percha. While Resilon can bind with dentinal walls when used along with Resin sealer and bonding agent/prime. New silicone‑based sealers like Roekoseal automix and the most recent GuttaFlow have some affirmative results regarding solubility and biocompatibility, as compared to other sealers. Methacrylate resin–based sealers and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA)‑based sealers have opened a new horizon for sealers.
