Table 3. Sealing ability of the calcium silicate sealers in the articles included in this review.
| Material (CS) | Method | Compared material | Sealing ability |
|---|---|---|---|
| BioRoot RCS | Single cone | AH 26 (ER) | Dentin penetration: BioRoot RCS > AH 26 (Uzunoglu-Özyürek et al. [93]) |
| Lateral compaction | AH Plus (ER) | μCT void: AH Plus < BioRoot RCS; Fluid transport: BioRoot RCS = AH Plus (Viapiana et al. [94]) | |
| Single cone, Continuous wave | Endoseal MTA (CS), AH Plus (ER) | Dentin penetration: AH Plus > BioRoot RCS > Endoseal (Kim et al. [35]) | |
| Endoseal MTA | Single cone, Continuous wave | AH-Plus (ER), GuttaFlow (silicone) | Bacterial leakage: GuttaFlow > Endoseal MTA = AH Plus (Hwang et al. [95]) |
| EndoSequence BC | Single cone, Lateral compaction | AH 26 (ER), EndoREZ (MR) | Fluid transport: AH 26, EndoRez < EndoSequence BC Sealer (Deniz Sungur et al. [96]) |
| Single cone, Continuous wave | AH 26 (ER) | Endotoxin leakage: EndoSequence BC sealer > AH 26 (Oh et al. [97]) | |
| Continuous wave | AH Plus (ER), Epiphany (ER), MTA Plus (CS) | Dye penetration: EndoSequence BC sealer = Epiphany < AH Plus (Pawar et al. [37]) | |
| Lateral compaction | Sealapex (CH), AH Plus (ER), EndoREZ (MR) | Dye penetration: Endosequence BC sealer < EndoRez < Sealapex = MTA Plus < AH plus (Ballullaya et al. [36]) | |
| iRoot SP | Lateral compaction | Sealapex (CH), EndoREZ (MR), AH Plus (ER) | Fluid transport: iRoot SP = AH Plus < EndoREZ = Sealapex (Ersahan and Aydin [30]) |
| Single cone, Continuous wave | AH Plus (ER) | Fluid transport: iRoot SP = AH Plus (Zhang et al. [48]) | |
| Single cone, Continuous wave | Topseal (ER) | Penentration of sealer: iRoot SP < Topseal; Penetration of sealer: Single-point technique < Continuous wave of condensation (Fernández et al. [49]) | |
| Lateral compaction | MTA Fillapex (CS) | Fluid transport: iRoot SP < MTA Fillapex (Bidar et al. [98]) | |
| Lateral compaction | Hybrid Root SEAL (MR), EndoREZ (ER), AH Plus (ER) | Fluid transport: AH Plus = EndoREZ < iRoot SP < Hybrid Root SEAL (Ulusoy et al. [99]) | |
| MTA Fillapex | Warm vertical compaction | AH Plus (ER) | Fluid transport: AH Plus < MTA Fillapex after 7 days, AH Plus > MTA Fillapex after 4 weeks (Asawaworarit et al. [23]) |
