Abstract
Aim: To evaluate the bond strength to root dentin of three root canal sealers: a mineral trioxide
aggregate (MTA)-based sealer (MTA Fillapex®), an epoxy resin-based sealer (AH Plus®), and
a zinc oxide eugenol-based sealer (EndoFill®). Methods: Thirty extracted single-root human
teeth of similar sizes and circular canals were prepared using #3 and #2 Gates Glidden drills in
the cervical portion of the canal and K3® rotary instruments to a size #25/0.06 to working length.
Irrigation with 0.5 mL 2% chlorhexidine gel was used before and 1 mL saline after each instrument.
The smear layer was removed with 3 mL 17% EDTA for 3 min. The samples were sectioned
horizontally into eight 1±0.1 mm-thick serial slices and then the push-out test was carried out.
Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the post-hoc Tukey test were used for the analysis
of the data with a significance level of 5%. Results: AH Plus presented significantly higher bond
strengths (p<0.05) than the other sealers, while MTA Fillapex showed the lowest bond strengths
(p<0.05). Conclusions: The present study concluded that EndoFill® sealer and MTA FillApex®
core combination were not superior to AH Plus® sealer and gutta-percha core combination.
