The dye extraction method was used to assess sealing ability and the direct contact method was used to assess antibacterial ability. For the sealing ability study, ninety-two extracted, human permanent mandibular first molars were used. The occlusal surface of the crowns were reduced to 3 mm coronal to cemento-enamel junction, and the roots were amputated 3 mm apical to furcation area UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
