Abstract
Objectives : The objective of the study was to evaluate the microleakage of various root end filling materials and to find the sealing ability of these materials. Methodology: Sixty (60) extracted single rooted anterior teeth were selected and divided into four groups of 15 samples each. Group A, B, C and D in which root-end filling was done with Surgical Simplex Bone Cement, Super EBA, Ketac Molar Glass Ionomer and Pro-root MTA respectively. The teeth were retrofilled and then the apical halves were submerged in 2% methylene blue dye. The depth of dye penetration and maximum value of leakage in each sample were recorded. Results: Group D had statistically significant difference from Group C (1.73±0.16 mm) as well as Group A (2.10±0.14 mm). Interpretation and Conclusion: Microleakage of group B was minimum. Thus concluding that Super EBA is a good root-end filling material.
