Antimicrobial property is one of the important features of sealers, which plays an essential role in limiting microorganisms from the root canal system. This study was conducted to investigate the antimicrobial properties of EndosealMTA, Sure seal root, and AH26 sealers on Enterococcus faecalis bacteria.

In this study, ceramic sealers Endoseal MTA, suersealroot, and resin sealer AH26 were used. Each of these sealers was placed in wells in the agar medium for 10-15 minutes to spread and then immediately incubated at 35±2°C for 24 hours. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS (V.22), with the application of Shapiro-Wilk, Kruskal-Wallis, and ANOVA tests.

The highest mean halo of non-growth was related to the Endoseal MTA group. The antimicrobial property of Suresealroot sealer was lower compared to AH26 sealer, but this difference was not statistically significant. (P=0.368). The antimicrobial property of Endoseal MTA sealer was higher compared to AH26 sealer, but this difference was not statistically significant (P=0.368). The antimicrobial properties of Suresealroot sealer were lower compared to Endoseal MTA, but there was no statistically significant difference (P=0.48).

Ceramic sealers Suresealroot, Endo seal MTA and AH26 resin sealer showed antimicrobial properties against Enterococcus faecalis; But the antimicrobial properties of Ceramic Sealers were not different from resin sealer on Enterococcus faecalis
