title: In vitro evaluation of apical leakage of root canal sealer cements containing calcium hydroxide.
abstract: A study was performed to compare apical leakage in the root canals of teeth obturated with gutta-percha, Sealapex and calciobiotic root canal sealer. The results showed that all materials failed to produce an effective apical seal and that the degree of leakage increased with time.
