Comparative Evaluation of the Sealing Ability of Root Canal Sealers: An In Vitro Study Using Dye Penetration and Scanning Electron Microscopic Analysis
The findings suggest that the sealing ability of root canal sealers varies significantly, with SmartPaste Bio demonstrating the best performance in terms of microleakage and adaptation to the dentinal walls. Clinicians should consider the choice of sealer as a critical factor in achieving an optimal apical seal. Further in vivo studies are required to validate these results and determine their clinical implications.
