Comparing the Apical Seal Guttaflow Versus AH Plus in two Different Obturation Techniques "in Vitro"


Abstract in English

A good apical sealing is considered the key of the successful endodontic treatments. The aim of this study was to compare the apical seal of GuttaFlow and AH Plus using single cone and lateral condensation technique.
