Abstract

Aim and Objectives: Comparative evaluation of intra orifice sealing ability of Neo MTA Plus, Calcium Enriched Mixture and Conventional Glass Ionomer Cement under Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope:- An In-Vitro study. Study design:Sixty four single rooted maxillary central incisors were decoronated, cleaned, shaped and obturated. Gutta-percha was removed to a depth of 3.5 mm from the orifice using a # 5 GG drill to facilitate a uniform orifice diameter of 1.3mm at its widest point. The sixty four samples were then divided into four groups (n=64), depending upon the type of intracoronal sealing material used.
