摘要: Purpose: To evaluate the radiopacity produced by seven commercially available (AH Plus, Epiphany, Sealapex, Acroseal, Sealer 26, Endomethasone and Endofill) one experimental (MBP) root canal sealers. Methods: testing was performed according to ANSI/ADA Specification No. 57. Specimens were radiographed with an aluminum stepwedge, resulting images digitalized. Radiographic densities expressed in Aluminum mm (mm Al) compared using ANOVA Tukey’s test (α=0.05). Results: AH Plus (10 Epiphany (9.0 most radiopaque sealers, followed Sealapex (8 Al), Endofill (7 MBP 26 (6 Al). Acroseal (5 showed smallest among tested sealers (P<0.05). Conclusion: The radiopacities of above minimum level recommended
