Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the apical sealing ability of an experimental nano-HA containing endodontic sealer and compare it with AH 26 sealer using cold lateral and continuous wave condensation techniques. Two hundred and thirty two extracted single rooted human teeth were used. Crowns were amputated at the cemento-enamel junction using Exakt-cutting system. The root canals were prepared using a crown-down technique with ProTaper nickel titanium rotary system and randomly divided into 4 experimental groups of 53 teeth each. The remaining 20 teeth were served as positive and negative control groups of 10 teeth each. In group NL, teeth were obturated using nano-HA sealer and cold lateral condensation technique.
