Abstract: Introduction: Obturation of the root canal is the most critical step in endodontic treatment, which aims to provide a hermetic seal and prevent regrowth and entry of bacteria into the canal. To achieve this, many sealers are used in endodontics. Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of the apical seal obtained by different sealers used in conjunction with the single cone obturation technique using gutta-percha under the stereomicroscope. Materials and methods: = 20)-Ceraseal (Meta Biomed). The teeth were immersed in Indian ink for 7 days and finally transferred to methyl salicylate for diaphanization. The extent of dye penetration was measured using the stereomicroscope. Statistical data analysis was performed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the Tukey test. Results: < 0.001). Conclusion: It was concluded that there were statistically significant differences among the experimental groups. Ceraseal endodontic root canal sealer provided a significantly better apical seal, followed by Apexit and MTA Fillapex, whereas Endoseal showed the least sealing ability.
