Assessing fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth obturated with four different root canal sealers

Background: This study aims to evaluate fracture resistance on endodontically treated teeth when four unique sealers are being used. Materials and Methods: 75 human premolars (mandibular) recently extracted were utilised for this analysis. Random categorization of selected samples into 5 different groups depending on the type of sealer applied in the canal. Group 1: RCTpex sealer, Group 2: MTA Fillapex sealer, Group 3: Seal-Pex sealer, Group 4: Traditional zinc oxide-eugenol sealer, Group 5: Control (un-obturated tooth). Universal testing equipment (IIT, Kanpur) was used to assess fracture force after the teeth were inserted in acrylic cubes. Statistical analysis used one way ANOVA and test of post-hoc. All the groups had significant findings (P < 0.05) statistically. Results: Groups one and two presented more excellent fracture endurance as compared to other groups. Furthermore, there was no noteworthy difference between group three and four or group four and five statistically. Conclusion: The group of resin sealer was found to be more successful than other groups in this in vitro study. The ZOE sealer group and the control group, however, showed no significant differences
