The values are presented as median percentage of the remaining filling material, and values in parentheses are first and third quartiles. Uppercase superscript shows statistically significant differences between root types within each sealer. Lowercase superscript shows statistically significant differences between endodontic sealers within each root type.
*Statistically significant differences between root positions within each sealer and root type.
