“…5,19 Different tests have been used to evaluate the sealing ability of endodontic filling materials. [6][7][8][9][10][11] However, there is no universally accepted method for assessing leakage. 20 The variety of methodologies and their assessment parameters are the main reasons for this disagreement.…”

“…5 The quality of the endodontic filling may be also assessed by its sealability. For this reason, several leakage testing methods have been used, such as the dye penetration, 6 clearing teeth clearing, 6 radioactive isotope testing, 7 bacterial penetration, 8 glucose leakage, 9 electrochemical testing, 10 and fluid filtration. 11 The latter test has been claimed as the most reliable method for determining coronal and apical leakage in endodontics.…”

Objective The study aimed to evaluate the existence of possible correlations among root canal configuration, quality of filling, and its sealability. Materials and Methods Sixty human mandibular central incisors were selected for this study. The teeth were prepared with the Profile 04 system up to instrument 35/0.04 and irrigated with 2.5 mL of 2.5% sodium hypochlorite at each instrument change. Root canal filling was performed by the lateral compaction technique, using gutta-percha and an epoxy resin-based sealer (AH Plus) labeled with 0.1% Rhodamine B dye. Afterward, the specimens were submitted to fluid filtration tests to assess the sealability of the filling. Cross-sections were obtained at −3, −6, and −8 mm from the root apex and submitted to a metallographic treatment to determine the root canal configuration and the percentage of gutta-percha filled areas. The data were statistically analyzed by the Grubbs test. Pairs of correlations were analyzed by applying the Spearman test at a level of significance of 5%. Results No correlation was observed among the analyzed variables as follows: root canal configuration versus filling quality (Spearman’s rho = 0.031); filling quality versus sealability (Spearman’s rho = 0.219); and root canal configuration versus sealability (Spearman’s rho = 0.184). Conclusion The root canal configuration did not affect the quality of the filling and its sealability.
