Comparative evaluation of sealing ability and adaptation of gel form of MTA to dentinal walls: an in-vitro study
The gel-form MTA shows a better adaptation to the dentinal walls at the middle third of the root and exhibits better sealing ability against bacterial leakage when tested for E. faecalis. The adaptation of gel-form MTA at coronal and apical third of the root was comparable to the conventional powder-liquid MTA.
