Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the apical overfilling and microleakage in oval-root canals, which were obturated with GuttaFlow, continuous wave of vertical condensation, cold lateral condensation, and iRoot SP. Methods: Eighty-eight exacted mandibular premolars with single oval-root canals were prepared with MTwo to the 35#04. Eighty teeth were randomly divided into four groups. Each group had 20 teeth, which was obturated with GuttaFlow, continuous wave of vertical condensation, cold lateral condensation, and iRoot SP respectively. Root canal overfilling in each tooth was recorded. Twelve teeth with good filling were chosen and detected the apical microleakage with transparent tooth staining. Results: The overfilling of the root canals obturated with GuttaFlow and iRoot SP group had higher overfilling rate. Microleakage results showed: GuttaFlow group < continuous warm gutta-percha group <cold lateral condensation group <iRoot SP single pointed group. The microleakage between GuttaFlow group and cold lateral condensation group had significant difference, as well as GuttaFlow group and iRoot SP single point group, warm gutta percha group and cold side group, warm gutta percha group and iRoot SP single point group. Conclusion: GuttaFlow group and continuous warm gutta-percha group have better apical sealing ability in oval-root canals, but GuttaFlow has higher overfilling rate.
