Abstract

Background and Objective: To date, many different materials have been proposed for root canal fillings, but gutta-percha ( used with various types of sealers) has remained the material of choice for over a century. A new root canal obturation system, the Epiphany endodontic obturation system, has been developed to replace gutta-percha and traditional sealers for root canal obturation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the coronal sealing ability of the new endodontic obturation system.
