Evaluating the antimicrobial effectiveness of endodontic sealers against oral pathogens associated with failed root canal treatments
Seal-Pex, an epoxy resin-based sealer, exhibited a significant antimicrobial efficacy against <i>E. faecalis</i>. Conversely, MTA Fillapex demonstrated notable antifungal activity against <i>C. albicans</i>, surpassing other tested sealers. These findings highlight the differential antimicrobial and antifungal properties of the sealers.
