The purpose of the present study was to experimentally test the potential correlation between tubular dentin sealer penetration and sealability. Sixty human maxillary central incisors were selected in order to compose a single experimental group. After removing of crowns, the roots were standardized at 13 mm in length. A crown-down root canal instrumentation was performed 1mm short of the apical foramen (working length). How irrigating solution was used 5.25% NaOCl and final, 17% EDTA. Then, all root canals were filled with gutta percha and AH Plus sealer labeled with a fluorescent dye. To determine the sealability pattern, samples were submitted to glucose leakage model under pressure. Four intact teeth were used as negative control while further 2 instrumented but nonfilled teeth was used as positive control. The roots were mounted in a double-chamber apparatus where 0,75 mL of 1 mol/L glucose solution was placed into the superior chamber and 0,75 mL of deionized water was placed into the inferior chamber. The devices were connected to a pressure distribution system that was developed in order to allow testing 32 specimens at the same experimental stage. The glucose solution was forced apically under a pressure of 15 psi during 1 hour. A sample of 50 µL was taken from the inferior chamber and the glucose concentration was measured following an enzymatic reaction using a Glucose HK Kit readed under spectrophotometry (wave-length of 340 nm). After that, the samples were removed from the apparatus, embedded in epoxy resin and cut into 3 sections. Standard metallographic preparation was performed prior the observation of the sealer penetration into dentinal tubules by confocal and optical microscopy. Data provided by the evaluations were submitted to Spearman correlation test which revealed a lack of correlation between the two variables (r = 0.12). Therefore, the present study concluded that there was no correlation between tubular sealer penetration and sealability in non-bonding conventional root-fillings.
