Comparative Evaluation of the Antimicrobial Efficacy of Endodontic Sealers Against Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus mutans: An In Vitro Study
Endodontic sealers exhibit time-dependent antibacterial properties. AH Plus is the most effective sealer in the early stages of treatment, providing strong initial bacterial suppression, whereas ZOE sealer demonstrated sustained antimicrobial activity over time. The Tubli Seal showed moderate efficacy. These findings emphasize the importance of sealer selection based on clinical scenarios.
