Background:
The endodontic space is complex, and using a single-cone obturation technique fails to ensure a complete filling.
Introduction:
This study aimed to investigate the effect of ultrasonic activation, sonic activation, and single-cone technique of a biosealer on its dentinal tubular penetration.
Materials and Methods:
In the experiment, single-root mandibular premolars were randomly assigned to three groups (
Results:
The data were statistically analyzed using Kruskal–Wallis and Mann–Whitney tests (
Conclusions:
Dentinal tubule penetration of biosealer was significantly improved by ultrasonic and sonic activation techniques.
