Abstract: Objective To compare the apical and coronal sealing ability of three kinds of root canal filling materials. Methods 80 single rooted human anterior teeth were prepared and divided into four experimental groups(n=20) to evaluate the leakage 7 days and 90 days later. Group A and C used lateral compaction guttapercha with AHplus. Group B and D were filled with GuttaFlow+single cone. Results The apical leakages of four groups were (0.67±0.67), (0.51±0.76), (3.07±1.09), (2.10±0.59)mm respectively,the coronal leakages of four groups were (0.42±0.46), (0.53±0.46), (2.62±0.98), (2.41±0.68)mm respectively. 〖JP2〗Significant differences were found between group A and group B, group C and group D in both apical and coronal leakage length. Conclusion The apical and coronal sealing abilities of GuttaFlow+single cone technique are greater than AHplus, so GattaFlow system can be applied in clinic.
