An in vitro comparison of apical microleakage after obturation with JS Quick-Fill or lateral condensation.
Thirty extracted human single-root teeth were instrumented to #45 file size while creating a continuous coronal taper. Canals were obturated with Roth 801 sealer and either JS Quick-Fill or lateral condensation of gutta-percha. Mean apical linear microleakage of India Ink was evaluated in cleared teeth using a stereomicroscope. Significantly less leakage (p < 0.1) occurred with lateral condensation than with JS Quick-Fill.
