Abstract

Introduction: The primary objective of any root end filling material is to seal the apical region to avoid any kinds of bacterial infiltration or their by-products from the supporting periodontal structures into the root canal system. Materials and Methodology: For the study purpose, sixty mandibular premolars were selected which were extracted for orthodontic reasons. The root surfaces were sought to be cleaned and the soft tissue remnants present as debris were removed help of Ultrasonic scaler and teeth were stored in distilled water until further use. The materials that were intended to be studied in this research were manipulated as per the manufacturer’s instructions and the cavities were filled respectively. The specimens were then coated with 2 coats of nail varnish except at the 1 mm apical area & then they were allowed to be dried.
