Root canal therapy mainly comprises steps like microbial control, cleaning and shaping, and effective sealing of the root canal system. The success of these steps depends on the execution of the final step i.e. the endodontic filling material as they are placed in vital tissues in the body. The main component of root canal filling material is the core material gutta-percha and the sealer to coat it. The root canal sealer fills the interface between the core and the dentin wall, the voids, and the accessory canals thus giving a tight seal.

Ideal properties of a root canal sealer:

• The root canal sealer should be capable of creating a bond between the core material and the dentin thus preventing leakage.
• It should be non-toxic
• It should have a positive effect on the healing of periapical
