A comparison of sealing ability of amalgam, MTA,and bioaggregate when used as retrograde filling materials: An in-vitro study


Abstract in English

The apical seal, which is achieved by application of a retrograde filling material, is considered one of the importan t elements in healing of the periapical lesions after apicectomy operations.The aim of this study was to compare the apical sealing ability of amalgam, MTA,and Bioaggregate when used as retrograde filling materials.
