Material<br>and methods: A total of sixty extracted human single-rooted premolar teeth were<br>used. After instrumentation, teeth were randomly divided into three main groups<br>(n=20) according to the type of final irrigants used. In group (A) 17% EDTA was<br>used. Group (B) irrigants was MTAD. In group (C) irrigant was 2% CHX. Each main<br>group further subdivided into two subgroup (n=10) according to the type of sealer<br>used. Subgroup (1) canals obturated with Bioceramic sealer. In subgroup (2) canals<br>obturated with AH plus sealer. After incubation period for one week the roots were<br>placed in 2% methylene blue dye and kept in incubator for 48 hours then the roots<br>were cleared, dye penetration measured by stereomicroscopic. Results: statistical<br>significant difference was found between groups (p<0.001). In subgroup (1) BC sealer<br>& CHX showed the lowest mean of leakage in comparing to other type of irrigants<br>with highly significance difference with BC sealer & EDTA. In subgroup (2) AH Plus<br>& EDTA showed the lowest mean of apical leakage. A highly significance differences<br>was found between subgroup (1) and subgroup (2) for all type of irrigants.<br>(p<0.001).Conclusion: when Bioceramic sealer is used in obturation of root canal<br>system, it is better to use it in combination with CHX irrigant to improve the apical<br>seal.<br><br></p>}, number={1}, journal={Mustansiria Dental Journal}, author={Al-Zaka, Dr. Iman M. and Atta-Allah, Dr. Ammar Atta-Allah and Al-Gharrawi, Dr. Hikmet A. and Mehdi, Dr. Jamal Aziz}, year={2018}, month={Feb.}, pages={1–7} }
