Abstract：AIM:To observe the effect of apical sealing with GuttaFlow.METHODS:Sixty freshly extrac-ted single-root human teeth were randomly divided into two experimental groups with 30 samples in each.The root canal was prepared.The teeth were obturated with GuttaFlow in group A and with gutta-percha in group B by lateral condensation.After dyeing for 7 days in 1%methylene blue,dyeing lines were measured to reflect the microleakage of two canal obturation techniques with different root canal sealers.RESULTS:In the GuttaFlow group,dyeing lines had an average length of 1.46±0.23mm and in the gutta-percha group of 2.06±0.58mm.Group A and Group B had difference.(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:The apical sealing ability of GuttaFlow is better than that of the gutta-percha.
