Sažetak
Objectives: To compare the leakage of two root canal sealers, Apexit Plus and GuttaFlow. Materials and Methods: For the purpose of the research, 26 single-rooted extracted permanent teeth were used. Root canals of all the samples were prepared using ProTaper rotary fi les. Teeth prepared and instrumented were divided into two groups of 10 teeth. The fi rst group was obturated using the technique of cold lateral condensation, with the use of gutta-percha points and Apexit Plus sealer. The second group was obturated with the GuttaFlow. Six samples were used as a control group. The leakage of root canal fi lling on samples was examined by the use of fl uid-transport model, 24h after the obturation and thermocycling. Results and Conclusion: Statistically analyzed results of the research have shown that GuttaFlow obturated signifi cantly better than Apexit Plus 24h after the obturation procedure and after the thermocycling (both comparisons: Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA, p<0,0002). In samples obturated with Apexit Plus root canal sealer, there was a statistically signifi cant difference in leakage 24h after the fi lling and after the thermocycling (p=0.011), which was insignifi cant for GuttaFlow (Friedman ANOVA, p=0.739). Under the conditions of this study, GuttaFlow provided a better seal than Apexit Plus.
